Montana Children's Clinical Trials Site
Montana Pediatric Clinical Trials Site
['FUNDING_OTHER'] · UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA · NIH-11075632
This program brings pediatric clinical trials for conditions like asthma, bronchiolitis, and childhood cancers to children and families in rural Montana so they can join locally.

What this research studies
This project builds and runs clinical trial programs that include children living in Montana, with a focus on rural communities that have had less access to research. The team at the University of Montana partners with local clinics to enroll infants and children into studies and to handle study visits, sample collection, and follow-up. The site has already run trials such as a vitamin D study in asthma and a HEPA-filter trial after bronchiolitis and can both lead and participate in new ECHO Network studies. If your child joins a trial here, care and study procedures are coordinated by the Montana Pediatric Clinical Trials Site and its community partners.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Children and infants living in Montana or nearby rural areas, especially those with conditions like asthma, bronchiolitis, or pediatric cancers, depending on the specific trial's eligibility.
Not a fit: Adults, children who live far from partner clinics or who have conditions not targeted by a given trial, and those unable or unwilling to complete study visits may not benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could give more Montana children access to new treatments and better follow-up through local participation in pediatric trials.
How similar studies have performed: The site has already participated in and completed trials such as VDORA1 (vitamin D in asthma) and BREATHE (HEPA filters after bronchiolitis), and the broader ECHO ISPCTN has conducted multiple pediatric trials across its network.
