Citrulline for hospitalized children with fever
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if L-citrulline, a natural substance, can help young children (1 month to 5 years) who are hospitalized with fever and are at moderate to high risk for severe illness. It aims to improve their recovery and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is testing a new, fast test to better identify which young children with fever are at risk for serious illness. If your child is eligible, they will be part of a group that helps doctors decide how to treat febrile children more accurately.
This trial tests whether adding L-citrulline to tube feeding (enteral nutrition) can improve outcomes for people in the ICU with sepsis or septic shock. It may help support the body’s immune response while you’re critically ill.
This trial studies whether an oral medicine called L-citrulline (L-cit) is safe and how it works in very preterm infants. It includes two groups: babies with chronic lung disease (with or without high blood pressure in the lungs) and babies recovering from severe bowel infection (NEC).
This trial tests an IV medication called L-citrulline for children, teens, and young adults (ages 6–21) with sickle cell disease who are having a sudden, severe pain crisis (called a vaso-occlusive crisis). The goal is to see if it helps relieve pain quickly.
This trial tests if an intravenous medication called L-citrulline can help treat pain crises in children and young adults with sickle cell disease. Participants receive either the study drug or a placebo while in the hospital for a severe pain episode.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether replacing the body’s arginine (an amino acid) can improve outcomes for children and young adults hospitalized with COVID-19. It may help the immune response, but you must meet several safety criteria to join.
