Study gut-and-lung bacteria in very young children with asthma
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 1 year and younger than 3 years
- A pediatrician has diagnosed you with asthma
- A parent or legal guardian agrees to take part (consent)
- You/your family are covered by the social security system
- No recent antibiotics in the last 7 days

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the bacteria (microbiome) in the airways of infants under 2 years old with severe asthma. It aims to understand how these bacteria might affect the disease.
This study looks at how the gut and lungs affect breathing problems in children. It compares samples from children with and without respiratory illnesses to understand why some children get sicker than others.
This study looks for biological “markers” that may help explain why asthma starts and how it changes over time in children. It may help your child’s doctors understand asthma better, especially for diagnosis or tracking.
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
This study follows children and teens who are being checked for asthma for the first time. It aims to learn more about the early symptoms of asthma to improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study is testing a new way to diagnose asthma in children and teens using simple breathing tests. If your regular breathing test wasn't clear, this might give a more accurate answer.
