Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This is a study to find out whether the dietary amino acid supplement, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is helpful in reducing the frequency of seizures in children with autism and comorbid epilepsy whose seizures are not responding well to usual medical treatment. The study is also looking to see if this supplement is helpful for immediate and ongoing treatment of symptoms of irritability. Additionally, this study will also look to see if certain substances in the blood that measure a specific type of stress on cells in the body can help tell us how NAC may be helping.
