According to the announcement, the findings from the study were published in the “Annals of General Psychiatry.” The company noted that the research had been led by PaxMedica CMO Dr. David Hough, who worked with a team of renowned ASD specialists. The research was based on a comprehensive, 14-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 52 participants diagnosed with moderate to severe ASD; the participants were boys aged 4 to 15 years of age.
