This is a study that looks at how iron deficiency anemia may affect the brain, and it also checks whether giving iron through an IV is safe and helpful for some participants. You may be in an observation-only group or an iron-treatment group, depending on study testing.
This study looks at iron levels in children with ADHD. It will help doctors understand if low iron plays a role in ADHD symptoms.
This study looks at blood samples from children (and sometimes parents) to see if certain protein patterns can help identify or better understand autism spectrum disorder. The results could support finding “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs that may guide future research or care.
This study looks at whether iron deficiency anemia affects how babies and toddlers (6 to 24 months old) develop their thinking, learning, and behavior. It compares children who have iron-deficiency anemia with those who do not, to help doctors understand the impact on early brain development.
This study tests whether a special young child formula can help improve iron levels in children ages 1 to 3 who are either healthy or have mild anemia. It may help prevent or manage low iron without needing supplements.
This trial studies IV ferric derisomaltose to treat iron deficiency anemia in children under 18. It is meant for children whose anemia is from a true iron problem and who either cannot tolerate or do not respond to iron taken by mouth, or have certain kidney-related causes.
