CHDR Research Opportunities

The Center for Human Development research is currently recruiting participants for the following research studies:

LUMINENZ-AT (CM-AT) in Autism
Principal Investigator: Deborah A. Pearson, Ph.D.

We are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication designed to treat the symptoms of autism in children. Children between the ages of 3-8 years with autism may be eligible to participate in this 12-week, placebo-controlled trial, where half of the participants will receive the investigational medication and half will receive placebo. This study involves 6 visits (each visit ranging from 2-5 hours) to the clinic. During the initial visit, the child will undergo a free psychological screening evaluation of their IQ, language, and symptoms of autism and physical examination. The subsequent visits will be measures of behavior and medical check-ups to monitor the progress on the medication. For more information or to be screened, call Rosleen Mansour at 713-486-2591 or email Rosleen Mansour@uth.tmc.edu
