About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial to Study the Safety and Efficacy of Bone Marrow Derived Autologous Cells for the Treatment of Autism. It is Self Funded (Patients' Own Funding) Clinical Trial

This clinical trial is a single Arm, single centre to check the safety and efficacy of bone marrow derived autologous mono nuclear cells (MNC) (100 million per dose). Trial to be conducted for 36 months.

Read the detailed description

Autism is a developmental disorder that appears in the first 3 years of life, and affects the brain's normal development of social and communication skills. Autism is a physical condition linked to abnormal biology and chemistry in the brain. The exact causes of these abnormalities remain unknown,Symptoms-Children with autism typically have difficulties in: Pretend play, Social interactions, Verbal and non-verbal communication. Some children with autism appear normal before age 1 or 2 and then suddenly "regress" and lose language or social skills they had previously gained. This is called the regressive type of autism. People with autism may: Be overly sensitive in sight, hearing, touch, smell, or taste.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing STEM CELL THERAPY in people with Autism, run by Chaitanya Hospital, Pune at 1 site in India.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sachin P Jamadar, D.Ortho (+918888788880, sac2751982@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Improvement in childhood autism rating scale (time frame: 6 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Sep 2014.
