NCT ID NCT07099976
First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looks at whether some children with mild pneumonia can recover without antibiotics. About 700 kids aged 6 months to 18 years who visit the emergency room with pneumonia but are well enough to go home will take part. Doctors will compare standard antibiotic treatment against a more careful 'watch and wait' approach to see if it is safe and reduces unnecessary antibiotic use.
