About this trial

This 12-month study tests whether AdiaVita (umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells and exosomes) plus glutathione improves autism symptoms more than glutathione alone in children ages 3-12. About 100 children with confirmed autism will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives monthly IV AdiaVita plus IV glutathione for 3 months. The other group receives IV glutathione plus a saline placebo infusion for 2 months. Both groups also use a topical glutathione spray twice a day at home. Symptoms are tracked with the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC), completed by a parent and by a therapist or teacher. Safety is monitored at clinic visits through Month 12. Children who first receive glutathione only, may crossover to receive AdiaVita at no extra cost if they stay medically stable and their family agrees. Participation is voluntary. The study fee is $12,000.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change from Baseline in Total Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) Score at Month 6

The Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) is a caregiver-completed questionnaire designed to evaluate treatment effectiveness in autism by assessing symptoms across four domains (Speech/Language/Communication, Sociability, Sensory/Cognitive Awareness, and Health/Physical/Behavior). Total ATEC scores range from 0 to 180, with higher scores indicating greater severity of autism symptoms (worse outcome) and lower scores indicating fewer symptoms (better outcome).

Secondary outcomes

1

Change from Baseline in Total Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) Score at Month 3

The Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) is a caregiver-completed questionnaire designed to evaluate treatment effectiveness in autism by assessing symptoms across four domains (Speech/Language/Communication, Sociability, Sensory/Cognitive Awareness, and Health/Physical/Behavior). Total ATEC scores range from 0 to 180, with higher scores indicating greater severity of autism symptoms (worse outcome) and lower scores indicating fewer symptoms (better outcome).
