Xenon gas therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study will test whether breathing a special gas called xenon can help reduce autism symptoms in children and teens. It's an early-stage trial that aims to see if the treatment is safe and if it may improve social and behavioral challenges.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The participant must be between the ages of 4 and 18 years old.
- A formal autism diagnosis is required, made by a specialist using standard assessment tools.
- The Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2) score must be very high (T-score of 90 or above), indicating significant social challenges.

This trial tests an oral liquid medicine (called NTI164) to see if it helps reduce symptoms of autism in children and teens. It may be an option if current treatments haven't fully helped, but it requires regular study visits and certain health rules.
This trial tests if a medicine called suramin (KZ101) can help with social challenges in boys with autism. It's a 12-week study at one location, and families must be able to visit the site easily.
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 uses a special type of brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG) that doesn't need helium to work. They want to see if this scan can help understand brain activity in boys with autism. This research might lead to easier and cheaper ways to study the brain.
