A Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of CM-AT for the Treatment of Autism in Children With All Levels of Fecal Chymotrypsin (FCT)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether CM-AT is safe and effective in treating the
core symptoms of autism in children with all levels of fecal chymotrypsin.

Autism is clearly a significant cause of disability in the pediatric population. Many
children with Autism exhibit impaired protein digestion which may or may not manifest in
self-restricted diets. The inability to digest protein affects the availability of essential
amino acids in the body. CM-AT is designed to enhance protein digestion thereby potentially
restoring the pool of essential amino acids. Essential amino acids play a critical role in
the expression of several genes important to neurological function and serve as precursors to
key neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. CM-AT is a proprietary enzyme that is
designed as a granulated powder taken three times daily.
