NCT ID NCT06677840
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a probiotic called Clostridium butyricum GKB7 can help children with autism. About 90 kids aged 4 to 15 will take either the probiotic or a placebo for a period. Researchers will also look for biomarkers in the gut and blood to better understand the gut-brain connection and improve diagnosis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
probiotic (Clostridium butyricum GKB7)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for some autism symptoms and help doctors diagnose autism earlier using biomarkers.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 90 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The probiotic may not work better than a placebo, and side effects are possible.
