Testing brain signaling in infants at early risk
This study looks at how the brain “mirrors” or responds to actions, with the goal of finding early signs of neurodevelopmental disorders. It includes healthy adults and infants, and infants who may be at risk, to compare brain patterns early on.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 9 months–65 years - NCT03831958Recruiting
Follow-up study of children cured of Cushing disease
This study checks long-term health in people who were treated successfully for Cushing disease when they were under 21. It also collects information from family members to study genetic links to pituitary tumors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–90 - NCT04708431Recruiting
Study of health and wellbeing in people with androgen insensitivity
This study looks at the long-term health and wellbeing of people with androgen insensitivity, a genetic condition that affects how the body responds to androgens (male-type hormones). It may help your care team understand what to watch for over time and improve future guidance for patients and families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–99 - NCT05440617Recruiting
Biobank for people having testicle-protecting cancer treatment
This study collects and stores biological samples from people who are planning to undergo OTC, a treatment used to help protect fertility during cancer therapy that can harm reproductive cells. It may help future research by providing researchers with tissue/blood samples linked to this treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–35 - NCT05588167Recruiting
Niemann-Pick type C patient database and genetic data study
This study collects health information and genetic samples from people diagnosed with Niemann-Pick disease type C. The goal is to build a large database that can help researchers better understand the condition and improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3 months+ - NCT05600946Recruiting
Study of body differences in creatine transporter deficiency
This study looks at physical and body features in people with creatine transporter deficiency caused by a specific gene change (SLC6A8). It may help doctors better understand the condition and how it shows up, which can improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–40 - NCT05767658Recruiting
Online messages to support safer infant care
This study tests whether online social network posts and text messages can help pregnant people practice safer infant care after birth. It may help you feel more prepared about feeding and safe sleep.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06019182Recruiting
MEHMO syndrome: Understanding the condition over time
This study follows people with or at risk for MEHMO syndrome over time to better understand the condition and identify biological markers. It may include both affected individuals and their family members to see how the condition runs in families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 week–100 years - NCT06749366Recruiting
Finding Genes Linked to Cartilage Tumors and Blood Vessel Issues
This study uses genetic testing to find genes that cause certain types of cartilage tumors and blood vessel problems. If you or your child has one of these conditions, joining could help doctors understand what causes them and find better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT06851754RecruitingPhase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for child development?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 113 recruiting child development studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a child development trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a child development trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
