About this study

Official title: Intravenous Injection of Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell (hBMMSC) in the Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): An Exploratory Study on the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of intravenous administration of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMMSCs) in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Read the detailed description

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized primarily by impaired social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive, stereotyped behaviors. Currently, there are no effective therapeutic drugs, and main interventions consist of educational rehabilitation and behavioral management.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of hBMMSC intravenous treatment in patients with ASD. The clinical trial intends to involve 42 participants. The trial is expected to last approximately 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing hBMMSC in people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, run by Jiuzhitang Maker (Beijing) Cell Technology Co.,Ltd..

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 5 inclusion and 10 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact yuan chen (86-4000918989, ychen@jztmaker.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety Evaluation of hBMMSC Injection in ASD Patients (time frame: 48 weeks). 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 2025.
