Two pediatric cardiologists will co-lead the nation's first long-term clinical trial for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C, a rare inflammatory condition potentially linked to COVID-19, reports The Salt Lake Tribune.
Ngan Truong, MD, a pediatric cardiologist at University of Utah Health and Intermountain Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, and Jane Newburger, MD, a pediatric cardiologist at Boston Children's Hospital, will oversee the five-year study.
The physician researchers aim to enroll 600 pediatric patients from about 30 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada.
As of Jan. 8, the CDC has confirmed 1,659 cases of MIS-C nationwide and 26 deaths.

The illness — called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C — is now the subject of a five-year nationwide study, the first of its kind in the United States, being launched by Utah’s Primary Children’s Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital.
The MUSIC study will follow MIS-C patients over the next five years, collecting data from their hospital visits — which usually happen two weeks, two months and six months after infection — and from a questionnaire by phone once a year.
Truong and her co-lead investigator, Dr. Jane Newberger at Boston Children’s Hospital, hope to enroll 600 young patients in the United States and Canada to take part in the study. Some 30 hospitals will be part of the study.
