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 has a sudden wheezing episode (acute wheeze).
- You and your doctor are not sure if oral steroids (medicine to open airways) will help.
- 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).
- Your child has not been in this study before.

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 looks at young children (ages 1-5) who have had severe wheezing episodes that needed hospital care. It aims to find biomarkers (clues in the body) that could help predict which children might develop asthma later.
This study supports children ages 2–6 who have been diagnosed with preschool wheeze and need regular lung follow-up. It checks a “next step” approach for managing symptoms in children who already use inhaler medicine and have had recent wheezing episodes.
This study looks at different kinds of wheezing in young children (ages 1 to 5) to better understand what causes it and how to treat it. If your child has had wheezing more than once, this research could help find patterns that lead to better care.
This study tests whether a bacterial “lysate” medicine, given to preterm babies, can reduce respiratory (lung) infections and wheezing. It may help protect babies’ airways during the vulnerable first months after birth.
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.
