A Phase 2/3 interventional study of IVIG and Aspirin in Kawasaki Disease, sponsored by Children's Hospital of Fudan University. Not yet recruiting at 2 sites in China. Open to participants aged 29 Days to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-22.
Sponsored by Children's Hospital of Fudan University · Phase 2/3, Interventional, and Treatment
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of the addition of Firsekibart to standard initial treatment (intravenous immunoglobulin [IVIG] plus aspirin) in children with Acute Kawasaki Disease (KD) .
This is a two-center, open-label, randomized controlled exploratory clinical trial in China. The investigators will enroll KD pediatric patients within 10 days of illness onset. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:2 ratio to the experimental group (receiving 3 mg/kg Firsekibart plus 2 g/kg IVIG and 30 mg/kg aspirin) or the control group (receiving 2 g/kg IVIG and 30 mg/kg aspirin). Baseline characteristics of each participant will be collected, including sex, age at onset, height, body weight, subtype of KD, fever days before initial IVIG, echocardiographic findings at enrolment, and a series of pre-IVIG laboratory tests. Two-dimensional echocardiography will be performed at admission, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after illness onset to assess the coronary artery lesions. This study aims to determine the therapeutic potential of standard therapy combined with Firsekibart in the acute phase of KD for reducing the incidence of coronary artery lesions (CAL) , decreasing IVIG resistance, and improving inflammation control.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
