ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how COVID-19 affects children, particularly those who have cancer. Researchers want to learn more about the virus, including how it spreads and who is most at risk of getting sick. To do this, they are asking children under 24 years old, who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 at St. Jude, to provide respiratory and blood samples. The goal is to gather important information that could help doctors better understand and treat COVID-19 in the future.

If your child is eligible and chooses to participate, they will be involved in a study that focuses on understanding their specific symptoms and the overall impact of the virus. Participants will help researchers learn about the immune response to the virus and how long it stays in their bodies. It's important to know that the trial is currently recruiting participants, and there are no exclusions based on other health conditions. This research could lead to better detection and treatment options for COVID-19 in children.
