Stem cell research for autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses blood samples to create stem cells in a lab, helping researchers learn more about autism. It may lead to better understanding and potential treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must be diagnosed with autism or be a family member of someone with autism.
- Must be at least 2 years old (no upper age limit).
- Must be able to have a blood test.
- Must not have severe intellectual disability (IQ below 35).
- Must have social insurance or equivalent coverage.

This is an early-stage study exploring a new experimental treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Researchers will work with your child and family to test whether this approach is safe and how it might help with autism symptoms.
This study tests a combination of experimental treatments for children with autism spectrum disorder. It may help if your child has not had stem cell or glutathione therapy before.
This study looks at how children with Williams syndrome or autism differ from healthy children by examining their genes from a blood sample. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and could inform future treatments.
This study looks at how autism affects brain development by creating mini-brains (organoids) from blood cells. It needs families with a child with autism and a sibling without autism to compare.
This study looks for genetic reasons for autism by collecting blood samples from people with autism, people without autism, and their relatives. The results may help researchers better understand causes and risk factors, even if you only participate through testing a sample.
This study looks at blood samples from children (and sometimes parents) to see if certain protein patterns can help identify or better understand autism spectrum disorder. The results could support finding “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs that may guide future research or care.
