Autism Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Phase IV, Single-site, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of High-Dose Gammaplex in Children on the Autism Spectrum
If autism is the consequence of a chronic inflammatory process preventing the infant brain from forming the proper neural connections, then treatment that reduces inflammation might have a positive impact on autism. IGIV treatment has been known to suppress inflammation and has been used in the treatment of inflammatory conditions and autoimmune diseases.

Primary | The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of Gammaplex as an immunomodulatory therapy in autistic children with evidence of immune dysfunction. | The primary endpoint is disease improvement, as evidenced by standardized test measures across 3 intervals: screening for baseline measurements, visit 5, and end of study visit measurements. Primary efficacy variables will be measured using the following standardized tests Caregiver Scales (SRS, CCC-2, ABC) CGI-S and CGI - I PPVT ADOS |
1 year | No |
Secondary | The modulatory effect of IVIG on neuroinflammation will be assessed by laboratory measurements which we believe are indicative of immune dysregulation. | 1 year | No |
