Testing N-acetylcysteine for autism symptoms
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a supplement/medication, can help autism-related symptoms by trying to target brain chemistry. You may be able to join if you previously took part in a related NAC study and can keep your usual medications steady.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You previously took part in a related NAC study (either a single-dose study or a randomized controlled NAC study).
- You must have a stable medication plan for at least 30 days.
- You and your study team should not expect medication changes during this trial.
- You should not have major other medical problems that could make participation unsafe or unstable.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether N-acetylcysteine, a medicine taken by mouth, can improve autism-related restricted and repetitive behaviors in children. It looks at children who are showing at least moderate severity in these behaviors and may involve brain testing for safety reasons.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a single dose of N-acetylcysteine can improve “restricted and repetitive behaviors” in children with autism. It’s meant for kids who are stable and still in early puberty stages.
This study tests whether an antioxidant supplement (something that fights cell damage) can help children with autism. It lasts 3 months and requires that the child stays on their current treatments without changes.
This study tests whether folinic acid (a B-vitamin supplement) can help improve autism symptoms in children ages 3–6. Folinic acid may support brain function, and researchers want to see if it works better than placebo (a dummy pill).
This trial tests a device called the NeuroCytotron to see if it can help people with autism. It is for individuals aged 3 to 50 who have a confirmed autism diagnosis and are medically stable.
This study tests whether folinic acid (a type of B vitamin) can help improve symptoms of autism in children. Researchers want to see if this supplement, combined with your child's current treatments, might make a difference.
