Speech therapy for children with autism who speak very little
This study tests a speech treatment plan for children on the autism spectrum who currently speak very little. It aims to improve speech clarity and ability to repeat sounds, but only if the child’s home language environment and participation needs fit the study rules.

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 2–16 - NCT05140889Recruiting
AI helps predict asthma severity in children
This trial studies an AI (computer) model that uses CT scan images plus health and blood/clinical information to predict how severe asthma is in children. It may help doctors better understand your child’s asthma severity and tailor care.
PaviaAges 6–17 - NCT05159856Recruiting
Early checks for long-term complications in young type 1 diabetes
This study looks for early signs of long-term complications in children and teens who have type 1 diabetes for more than a year. It may help your clinic spot problems sooner, when treatment could be easier.

Study gut-and-lung bacteria in very young children with asthma
This study looks at whether differences in the body’s bacteria (in the gut and/or airways) can help predict which toddlers with asthma may develop a more severe form. It may help doctors identify children at higher risk earlier so they can be monitored more closely.
Brest, FinistèreAges 1–3 - NCT05209568Recruiting
Study of immune reactions after eating gluten
