Sirolimus safety with routine vaccines for a rare blood vessel tumor
This trial studies how the medicine sirolimus affects children’s response to routine vaccines during treatment for kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE). It compares vaccinated KHE patients taking sirolimus with healthy children getting the same vaccines.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 12 years - NCT03758521Recruiting
Natural history study of SSADH deficiency in children and adults
This study tracks how SSADH deficiency (a genetic condition) affects health over time. There is no new drug being tested; instead, researchers collect medical history and perform certain optional scans/tests that can help describe disease patterns and future treatment needs.

Autologous mitochondria treatment for critically ill heart children on ECMO
This trial looks at giving a child their own mitochondria to help protect the heart from injury caused by reduced blood flow. It is for children with serious heart problems who are on a heart-lung machine and may have signs of ischemia (reduced blood flow damage).
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 17 years - NCT02493478Recruiting
Improve safety during placing breathing tubes in children
This trial looks at ways to improve the safety and quality of emergency breathing tube placement in pediatric critical care and emergency settings. It may help reduce complications and improve how clinicians do these urgent procedures.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT02543866RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant to clear resistant gut bacteria in children
This Phase 1 study tests whether transferring stool microbiome (a fecal microbiota transplant) can help clear antibiotic-resistant bacteria living in the gut. It’s meant for children and teens who have had infections from these resistant bacteria and who can safely take the study’s planned treatment.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 7–21 - NCT02055105Recruiting
Study tests a blood test pattern in children with sepsis
This trial studies how a specific pattern in blood (called “molecular fingerprinting”) changes in children with suspected or developing sepsis. The goal is to help doctors better recognize sepsis early and understand how it progresses, which may improve care.
