This trial tests if taking extra vitamin D during pregnancy can prevent asthma in young children. It is for pregnant women in Denmark who already have certain healthy fat levels in their blood.
This trial studies whether an early steroid treatment can lower the chance that children will go on to develop asthma after their first severe “wheezing” episode caused by a rhinovirus (a common cold virus). If you qualify, the goal is to prevent future asthma rather than just treat the current episode.
This study tests whether a high-dose vitamin D supplement can help preschool children have fewer acute asthma-like symptoms (coughing, wheezing, or trouble breathing) that require hospital care. It may help by supporting the immune and airway system, but you can only join if the child meets several safety and treatment criteria.
This trial studies whether fish oil can improve cholesterol levels and reduce side effects in children and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who are in lower-risk groups. If you fit the risk category, you may be asked to add fish oil as part of the study to see if it helps your lab results and well-being.
