Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study objective is to explore the safety and tolerability of STX209 in subjects with Autism Spectrum Disorders and to obtain preliminary data on several measures of efficacy in treating irritability. We hypothesize that STX209 will be safe and well-tolerated.
