Sleep and eye-movement study in Smith-Magenis autism
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at sleep and certain eye/vision reflexes in children who have Smith-Magenis syndrome and autism. The goal is to better understand sleep-related differences and how they may be measured using a safe eye-reflex test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a genetic test result confirming Smith-Magenis syndrome (from chromosome 17 deletion or an RAI1 gene change)
- Your child has autism spectrum disorder confirmed through developmental testing
- Your child is between 5 and 12 years old
- A parent can sign a consent form and your family is linked to the local social security system
- Your child needs a sleep assessment at the study’s children’s sleep unit at Hopital Femme Mère Enfant (Dr. Pr Franco)
- Your child can do a brief eye-reflex/vision check (no specific eye diseases that block the reflex test)

This study uses an eye-tracking tool (it measures where and how your eyes move) to assess how people process social information. It aims to build a standard way to evaluate social processing in children and in comparison groups without these diagnoses.
This Phase 2 study tests whether diphenhydramine improves sleep in children with autism who have significant sleep problems. It requires sleep monitoring (watch data and sleep testing) and checking for side effects to see if the treatment is safe and helpful.
This study aims to better understand how motor skills (movement and coordination) work in children with autism spectrum disorder. It uses an assessment approach to help researchers understand what motor difficulties look like, which may improve future evaluations and support.
This study tests a sleep program designed for children with autism and their families, delivered in the community. It aims to help improve your child's sleep and overall well-being.
This study looks at the genetic and molecular profiles of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to better understand the condition and find new treatments. It compares children with ASD who have no known genetic cause to those with a specific genetic syndrome.
This study looks at how children with autism and typically developing children understand social situations. It aims to find better ways to screen for social thinking differences in young children.
