Efficacy of Bumetanide in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Guided by Peripheral Blood Biomarkers and Machine Learning Models

Efficacy of Bumetanide in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Guided by Peripheral Blood Biomarkers and Machine Learning Models: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Apr 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The objective of this study is to learn if bumetanide could alleviate the clinical symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), who has been predicted as high responders to bumetanide via a cytokine-based predictive model. The Eligible ASD participants identified as high responder to bumetanide will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. Participants in the experimental group will receive bumetanide interventions, along with the behavioral interventions, for three months. Participants in the control group will only undergo behavioral interventions. The clinical symptoms and potential adverse effects will be closely monitored throughout the intervention period.
