Investigators at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston are conducting a 180-week clinical study to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication (CM-AT/LUMINENZ- AT) designed to treat behavioral and gastrointestinal symptoms of autism in children.
