Dexamethasone Use in Pediatric Rhabdomyolysis Patients in Addition to Standard Protocols
NCT06429982 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
There is a significant unmet need for optimized treatment in rhabdomyolysis. There are few prospective interventional studies on treatment for rhabdomyolysis, a condition which affects diverse and underrepresented populations at a higher rate. While steroids are often used off-label, a systematic study has not yet been initiated, and steroids have not been yet considered in as a consideration to standard care guidelines. The hypothesis is that patients who receive dexamethasone in addition to standard care versus placebo and standard care will have improvement in pain, length of hospital stay, and decrease in kidney complications.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06429982
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06429982 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Children's National Research Institute, which has 114 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Rhabdomyolysis appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06429982 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include District of Columbia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
