Gut bacteria and growth in high-altitude children
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how gut bacteria affect growth and immune health in children aged 1 to 3 living at high altitudes. It may help find ways to support healthy development.

This study looks at how the bacteria in the gut (gut microbiota) relate to metabolic health in children over a 3-year period. By participating, you will help researchers understand early development, and you'll receive regular health check-ups.
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 examines how working at high altitudes (where there is less oxygen in the air) affects employees at an astronomical observatory in Chile. Researchers want to understand health impacts and develop better support for people working in these extreme conditions.
This study explores the role of the microbiome (the community of bacteria in our bodies) in children's health. It aims to develop new treatments for pediatric diseases.
This study tests whether a probiotic (a 'good bacteria' supplement) can help balance the gut bacteria in young children. Your child may be able to join if they are healthy, under 7, and haven't taken probiotics or antibiotics recently.
This study looks at how gut bacteria, immune markers, and trace elements in the blood relate to respiratory infections in children. It aims to better understand why some children get sick more often, which could lead to better treatments.
