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.
