Gut microbiome study in autism in children
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies differences in the gut bacteria (microbiome) between children with autism and healthy children. It may help researchers understand what roles the gut may play in autism and guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Ages 1 to 17 years
- Self-identify as Caucasian
- You have a confirmed autism diagnosis (or a new autism diagnosis)
- No antibiotic use in the month before the stool/microbiome sample
- No probiotic use in the month before the sample

This study explores whether the bacteria living in a child's stomach and intestines are connected to how their brain develops and functions in autism. Researchers will collect stool samples and do developmental assessments to see if there are patterns.
This study looks at how the gut and brain are linked in children with autism. It tests whether probiotics can help improve behavior and symptoms by studying the bacteria in the gut.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a “familial” fecal microbiota transplant (FMT, stool-based treatment from a family-related donor) is safe and potentially helpful for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with gut symptoms. It may help by changing gut bacteria, which researchers believe could affect behavior and development for some people.
This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement (a mix of good bacteria) can help reduce autism symptoms in children. It lasts 3 months and involves filling out questionnaires about your child's behavior at the start and end of the trial.
This trial tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation can help children with moderate-to-severe autism. It involves giving healthy donor bacteria to improve gut health and possibly autism symptoms.
This trial tests whether transferring healthy donor bacteria into the gut (fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve both bowel problems and autism symptoms in children. It is for children with autism who have had diarrhea or constipation for at least two months.
