Studying 5HTP to manage asthma symptoms in kids
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether 5HTP can help regulate asthma in children and teens who have mild to moderate asthma linked to allergies. It may be an option if your symptoms are allergy-related and you can follow study visits and questionnaires.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 8 and 18 years old
- Have mild to moderate asthma (not severe)
- Have a positive allergy test (skin test or blood IgE)
- Weigh at least 70 lbs (32 kg)
- Not take certain asthma/allergy medicines: no SSRI antidepressants, no montelukast or zileuton, and no biologic asthma shots/infusions (like omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, or dupilumab)
- Score high enough on asthma/anxiety symptom questionnaires (CES-DC or SCARED) and be able to attend study visits
- You (and a parent/guardian, if needed) must be willing to sign consent to join
