Study vitamin D and gut bacteria in childhood allergies
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how gut bacteria (microbiome) and vitamin D levels in newborns may influence whether children develop allergies. It starts with newborn babies and aims to better understand what early factors could predict allergic diseases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a newborn who is full-term (37 weeks to 41 weeks 6 days during pregnancy)
- Be born at China Medical University Hospital
- You should not have been born prematurely
- You should not have any birth defects (congenital anomalies)
- You should not need emergency resuscitation for breathing or heart problems right after birth

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a probiotic supplement (Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis XLTG11) to see if it helps infants grow better and have fewer allergies. It is for healthy babies up to 3 years old who are at higher risk for allergies.
This study follows infants in the Jinan area of Shandong, China, who have signs of allergies, to see how allergies might relate to brain development. It aims to help understand early links between allergies and conditions like autism or ADHD.
This study looks at whether eating a traditional Asian diet during pregnancy changes gut bacteria and body chemistry in a way that may lower (or change) a baby’s risk of developing allergies. You would follow the diet during pregnancy and be tracked after delivery.
This study is testing whether special skin care routines for newborns can help prevent allergies and asthma later in life. It may be a good fit if your baby has allergy risk factors, like having a parent or sibling with allergies, asthma, or eczema.
This study looks at how genes and tiny organisms in your body (microbiota) affect early childhood development. It involves storing blood and stool samples from you and your child to help researchers learn more.
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.
