NCT ID NCT07366593
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at children with Down Syndrome who have pneumonia to see if there is a link between their immune system and how well they breathe. Researchers will measure immune markers in the blood and breathing rate and oxygen levels. The goal is to better understand these relationships, not to test a new treatment.
