Cord blood stem cells trialed for autism – but Don't get your hopes up yet

NCT ID NCT07622316

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether a combination of umbilical cord stem cells and glutathione can safely improve autism symptoms in 100 people aged 3 and older. Participants receive either the stem cell product plus glutathione, or a placebo plus glutathione, with the option to switch groups later. The main goal is to check safety and see if symptoms improve on a standard autism checklist. However, the treatment is not FDA-approved, costs $12,000, and this early-stage trial cannot guarantee any benefit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells and exosomes (AdiaVita) plus glutathione

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a treatment that reduces autism symptoms for some children and adults.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial focused on safety, not proof of effectiveness. The treatment is not FDA-approved for autism, costs $12,000, and carries risks like infusion reactions.
