The study population will include twenty (20) boys and girls aged eight (8) years through to seventeen (17) years that have a medical diagnosis of Level 2 and 3 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as confirmed by the Autism Diagnostic Observational Schedule (ADOS-2) criteria.~Participants will commence treatment with a daily dose of 5mg/kg of FEN164. This will gradually increase over a four-week period until the maximum tolerated daily dose or 20mg/kg per day is achieved (Up-titration phase/Stage 1). Participants will continue to receive their respective maximum dose for eight (8) weeks (Treatment phase/Stage 2) which will be gradually decreased by 5 mg/kg for a period of 4 weeks until the end of the study (Down-titration phase).
This is a 20-week open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of full-spectrum medicinal cannabis plant extract < 0.08% THC (FEN164) in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
