Medications for Children in the Intensive Care Unit: Health information and extra blood and body fluid samples saved for research
This research includes children: • Who are sick and in the intensive care unit and receiving one or more medications to treat that illness. • Health information collected and extra blood and body fluids that are not needed to care for the child will be saved and used to learn...
This research includes children: • Who are sick and in the intensive care unit and receiving one or more medications to treat that illness. • Health information collected and extra blood and body fluids that are not needed to care for the child will be saved and used to learn more about these body differences and the impact of medication levels during an illness. When children are sick, their bodies may react differently to medications during sickness compared to when their bodies are healthy. Children with medically complex conditions who regularly take medications may experience even more differences when they are sick. Some of the differences during sickness can include swelling, fevers, high heart rate, changes in their liver or kidney function, changes in the way their body breaks down or uses medications, or other differences that researchers are still determining. These differences could result in medication that is not given at a high enough amount to treat the illness, or too much of an amount that could cause other problems in the body. Researchers will learn more about these body differences and the impact of medication levels during an illness.
Multi-Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS): Research including children with MODS and looking at their unique immune function
This research includes children: • Who have a severe infection called sepsis, which is causing two or more organs to work poorly (MODS). When sepsis and MODS happen, the child's immune function may be too low and/or the amount of inflammation in the body...
This research includes children: • Who have a severe infection called sepsis, which is causing two or more organs to work poorly (MODS). When sepsis and MODS happen, the child's immune function may be too low and/or the amount of inflammation in the body organs may be too high. At this time, only a research laboratory can do this special testing to determine a child's unique immune function. As part of this research study, a blood sample is sent to the research laboratory to get results of the child's unique immune function and level of inflammation.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV): An study treatment for RSV
This study is being done for children: • Ages 28 days to 36 months • Can be in the study for around 29 days • Hospitalized or non-hospitalized...
This study is being done for children: • Ages 28 days to 36 months • Can be in the study for around 29 days • Hospitalized or non-hospitalized The purpose of this research study is to obtain information on how effective and how safe the Study Drug is in treating children with RSV infection and to determine the dose of Study Drug that works best. This will be done by checking how the children are feeling, and any side effects or changes to the children's laboratory tests.
