Child infection and immunity study for kids under 8
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study follows healthy children from birth to age 7 to learn how infections and the immune system develop over time. Depending on your child's history, they may join a general group, an infection group, or an asthma group, and researchers will track their health to better understand childhood immunity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child should be under 8 years old at the start of the study.
- You (as parent or guardian) must agree in writing to join, and your child must live in the study area for long-term follow-up.

This trial tests whether a probiotic called Bacillus Coagulans SNZ 1969 can support the immune health of healthy children aged 6 to 12. Your child would take the probiotic or a placebo daily for a period while keeping their usual routine.
This study looks at the bacteria (microbiome) in the airways of infants under 2 years old with severe asthma. It aims to understand how these bacteria might affect the disease.
This study looks at how the immune system works in people with allergies or asthma compared to healthy people. It may help find new ways to treat these conditions.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and immune markers relate to respiratory infections in children. It may help doctors understand why some children get sick more often and could lead to better treatments.
