Eligibility
Recruits 6 paediatric patients.
- Vulnerable Population
- Pediatric participants (ambulant children aged ≥6 and <12 years). Signed written informed consent is required from parents/legal guardian prior to any study procedures. Assent forms for minors are included (documents listed: L1_ATA-003-GSAR_FRA_Assent_Minors_fre_FP and L1_ATA-003-GSAR_FRA_Assent_PreScreening_Minors_fre_FP).

Inclusion criteria
