Precision medicine for steroids in preschool wheeze
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if giving oral steroids (medicine to reduce airway swelling) only when needed based on a child's own biology can help preschool children with wheezing. It aims to find the best treatment for each child, avoiding unnecessary medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 5 years old.

- Your child's wheeze is not severe or life-threatening.
- Your child was not born more than 4 weeks early (before 36 weeks of pregnancy).

This study looks at how the gut and lungs affect breathing problems in children. It compares samples from children with and without respiratory illnesses to understand why some children get sicker than others.
This study tests whether giving a soy-based supplement to infants with a viral chest infection can reduce wheezing and other symptoms. It aims to see if this natural compound helps the immune system fight the virus.
This study tests if the medicine Dupilumab can help control asthma and wheezing in children ages 2 to just under 6. It is for children whose symptoms are not well-managed with their current inhaler.
This Phase 2 study tests whether daily soy isoflavones can lower the chance of asthma or wheezing problems in babies who are at high risk. You would join because your baby has risk factors (family history and certain genetics) and receives the study soy product.
This trial tests whether a short course of oral prednisolone (an anti-inflammatory steroid) helps young children under 2 who have wheezing triggered by a rhinovirus cold. It aims to see if steroid treatment can improve symptoms after an emergency visit.
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.
