Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Neurodevelopmental Disorder With Issues Social Behavior, Communication Issues, GI Dysfunction. Study is Multimodal Interventions Targeting These Pathways With cSVF, Stored MSCs, FMT and Diet Modification. Role of Autoimmunity, Gut-brain Issues, & Issues Examined.
brief summary
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with core deficits in social communication and behavior, often accompanied by gastrointestinal (GI) and metabolic dysfunction. Emerging evidence supports the role of neuroinflammation (including autoimmune components), gut-brain axis disruption, and metabolic dysregulation in ASD pathophysiology. Multimodal interventions targeting these pathways-using autologous cSVF, cryopreserved MSCs, FMT, and dietary modulation-intent is that these multimodal interventions may offer synergistic benefits for adolescents and adults with ASD.
detailed description
This refined protocol integrates the latest evidence for a multimodal intervention-autologous cSVF, cryopreserved autologous MSCs, FMT, and a structured ketogenic protocol program-for adolescent and adult ASD management.
1. Protocol Summary
Title:
A Phase 1-2 Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Multimodal Therapy (Autologous cSVF + Cryopreserved Autologous MSCs, Fecal Microbiota Transplantation, Ketogenic Program Reset, and OT/PT Training) in Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD-Multi-level scoring)
Sponsor: Blacktie Principal Investigator: Robert W. Alexander, MD, FICS Study Phase: Phase I/II Study Centers: 1-3 Clinical Applied Research Laboratories/academic centers with expertise in ASD, stem cell processing and utilization, plus gastroenterology/PMD consultants available for FMT in patient's locale
Compliance:
NIH and IRB oversight Informed consent for all participants

Primary Objective:
• Evaluate the safety and tolerability of the multimodal interventions compared to current standard of care (SOC) for supportive therapy.
Secondary Objectives:
• Assess changes in ASD core symptoms, GI function, behavioral and social outcomes, and quality of life.
