Participant Flow

There were eight consented (or enrolled) participants. Out of the eight participants, one screened failed early, and seven subjects were eligible for the Screening method for classifying self-injurious behavior (SIB) before randomization. Out of those seven, 3 passed screening, and one of the 3 withdrew due to study burden. Two participants were randomized to an intervention (NAC or placebo).

Participants Taking NAC
Participants randomized to the active treatment study arm will receive gradually increasing doses of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) given as a dissolving tablet in juice or water. NAC is an over-the-counter oral dietary supplement that will be used a higher than usual doses in this study. N-acetylcysteine: Participants will start with taking 900mg of NAC once per day for one week (study days 1-7). At Day 7, parents (or primary caregiver) and subjects will return to the study site to review adverse events. In the absence of dose limiting adverse events attributable to the study drug, the dose will be gradually increased to 900 mg twice per day for study days 8-28. If this dose is well-tolerated, the dose will be increased to 900 three times per day for study days 29-63.
Participants Taking Placebo
Participants randomized to placebo will receive dissolving tablets identical in size and appearance to the active treatment. Placebo capsules contain inactive ingredients. Placebo: Participants will start with taking 900mg of the placebo once per day for one week (study days 1-7). At Day 7, parents (or primary caregiver) and subjects will return to the study site to review adverse events. The dosing for the placebo will increase in the same fashion as the active treatment. In the absence of dose limiting adverse events attributable to the study drug, the dose will be gradually increased to 900 mg twice per day for study days 8-28. If this dose is well-tolerated, the dose will be increased to 900 three times per day for study days 29-63.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months (duration of the study)

Population: Screening method for classifying self-injurious behavior (SIB) happened before randomization. Of the 8 participants that consented, one was excluded due to asthma. Results show participants that were classified with repetitive SIB.

Goal: at least 75% positive predictive value of our screening method to classify children with automatically maintained self-injurious behavior using a semi-structured interview at screening compared to the findings of five- to six-hour functional analysis at baseline. Only children who appear to have automatically maintained SIB will be referred for the baseline evaluation. Demonstrating a high positive predictive value for the screening method is a necessary prerequisite for launching a larger study. Using the formula: Positive Predictive Value (PPV) = screen positive and true cases ÷ all positive screens, a value of 75% or greater would indicate success of the screening method used.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 9

The Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) is a commonly used 58-item parent-rated measure of overall behavioral problems. The Irritability subscale is comprised of 15 items reflecting tantrums, aggression and self injury. Range is 0 to 45, higher scores indicate higher severity. As a preliminary efficacy outcome, it was calculated the average score at baseline and Week 9 post-intervention.

Direct observation of the frequency of SIB was collected at baseline in a separate observational session after completing the functional analysis and again at Week 9. Investigators set a benchmark of an average decline in the frequency of SIB of 50% within the NAC group.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 9

Population: Blood samples were collected and processed in accordance with the protocol. In consultation with our biochemist collaborator, we did not proceed with the multiple laboratory procedures to analyze the sample. Our collaborator indicated that the findings would not be interpretable because we only had two subjects.

Changes amino acid levels before and after NAC treatment: cysteine/cystine and glutathione/glutathione disulfide (GSH/GSSG) ratios (antioxidant effects), glutamate and glutamate/glutamine ratio (glutamate signaling) and GABA levels.
