Recruiting studies
- NCT06030752Recruiting
Fecal transplant for children with autism
This trial tests whether a fecal transplant procedure can improve symptoms in children and teenagers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or ASD plus ADHD. Fecal transplant involves transferring healthy bacteria from a donor's gut into the patient's gut to help balance digestion and possibly affect brain function.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 3–17 - NCT06034821Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
ECT vs. ketamine for suicidal depression in adults
This trial compares two treatments—ECT (electroconvulsive therapy, which uses electrical stimulation) and ketamine (a medicine given as a shot)—to see which works better for quickly reducing suicidal depression. It is for adults who are in a severe depressive episode with active suicidal thoughts.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05987774Recruiting
AI program to improve social conversation skills in autism
This study tests a computer-based AI program that helps people with autism practice and improve social conversation skills. It's designed for those who can already speak in sentences but want to get better at specific areas like empathy.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 3–35 - NCT05492032Recruiting
Brain stimulation sessions for teens with autism symptoms
This trial tests whether repeated, brain-based stimulation (done through the scalp) can improve symptoms in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, and whether a later “booster” session adds more benefit. It may help learn which stimulation schedule works best, especially when teens also have attention symptoms—but not epilepsy or mood/anxiety disorders.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 12–21 - NCT05066178Recruiting
Speech therapy for children with autism who speak very little
This study tests a speech treatment plan for children on the autism spectrum who currently speak very little. It aims to improve speech clarity and ability to repeat sounds, but only if the child’s home language environment and participation needs fit the study rules.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 5–18 - NCT04936009Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for adults with autism
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical brain stimulation) can affect brain activity and learning in adults, including some autistic adults. You may also do EEG and eye-tracking tasks during the study.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–40 - NCT04899544Recruiting
Center vs home therapy for autism with PRT coaching
This study compares two ways of delivering Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) for young children with autism—at a center or in the home. It may help your child by testing which approach better supports language and autism-related communication skills.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 2–5 - NCT04638452Recruiting
Study of reactions during routine blood tests in autism
This study looks at how people with autism (and some without autism) react during a routine blood test. Researchers will watch and measure behavior and body responses to better understand distress and comfort during needle procedures.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for asd?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 104 recruiting asd studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a asd trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a asd trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
