Summary

This study tests a drug called CM-AT in children with autism who have low levels of a digestive enzyme. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and helps with behaviors like irritability and social withdrawal over a longer period. About 405 children aged 3 to 8 who completed a previous study are taking part.

Active substance
CM-AT (a powder taken three times a day)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a treatment option to reduce irritability and social withdrawal in some children with autism.
What could go wrong
This is an extension study, not a new trial, and results may not apply to all children with autism. The drug may not show clear benefits or could have side effects.
