It looks like they're getting ready to post the results of this study on pregnenolone vs. autism.
Purpose:
"This study will assess the tolerability and effectiveness of pregnenolone in the treatment of behavioral deficits in adults with autism. Pregnenolone is a naturally occurring hormone found in the body which has been shown to help with the function of nerve cells. It is also shown to modulate the activity of certain brain receptors implicated in autism. We hope to examine the tolerability of pregnenolone in adults with autism."
Dose:
With Baseline serving as approximately day 1, twice daily intake of orally administered pregnenolone will occur on a schedule consisting of an up-titration followed by a down-titration as described below.
Days 1-14: 100 mg
Week 1 and 2: 200 mg
Week 3 and 4: 350 mg
Week 5 and 6: 400 mg
Week 7 -12: 500 mg
Study: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01881737
