Recruiting studies
- NCT07386587Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Methotrexate plus etanercept for juvenile arthritis
This study compares methotrexate alone versus methotrexate combined with etanercept to see which works better for children with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The goal is to help children achieve low disease activity quickly.

Genetic study for unexplained infertility in men and women
This study aims to find genetic causes of certain types of infertility in men and women. If you have been diagnosed with very low sperm count, no sperm, or early ovarian failure, researchers will look at your DNA to discover new genes that might be responsible.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07290439Recruiting
Fast STI testing for pregnant women
This study tests a quick way to check for STIs during pregnancy or labor at Grady Memorial Hospital. It aims to improve health for mothers and babies by finding infections early.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Any age - NCT06918470Recruiting
Do noise cancelling headphones help with pain after surgery?
This study tests whether wearing noise cancelling headphones after gynecologic laparoscopy can reduce pain. If you are a woman having this surgery, you may be able to participate.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–55 - NCT06929000Recruiting
Testing an adjustable headrest for painless abortion in overweight patients
This study tests whether a special adjustable headrest can help make painless abortion surgery safer and more comfortable for people who are overweight or obese. You may be able to join if you are planning this procedure, have a BMI over 24, and are otherwise healthy enough for anesthesia.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 20–50 - NCT07197216Enrolling by invitation
Tap trust program for water security and drinking
This trial tests a program called Tap Trust to see if it can help families in certain childcare centers feel more secure about their water and drink more water. If you are a parent or caregiver of a preschooler from a specific study group, this might be for you.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07050212Recruiting
Sedation study for children having tonsil surgery
This study tests three different medicines to help young children relax before surgery to remove their tonsils and adenoids. It aims to find which medicine works best and is safest for kids ages 2 to 5.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 2–5 - NCT06882980Recruiting
Comparing two sedatives for children's tonsil surgery
This study compares two sedative medications, ciprofol and propofol, for children (ages 3–11) during tonsil or adenoid removal surgery. It uses special brain-wave monitors (IoC1 and IoC2) to see which drug provides safer, more stable sedation.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 3–11 - NCT06925360RecruitingPhase 2
IVIG for lung disease in premature babies
This trial tests if intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) can help prevent or treat bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a lung condition in premature babies. It is for very preterm infants born between 25 and 29 weeks who show early signs of BPD and are enrolled in the first day of life.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 2 months - NCT06259006RecruitingPhase 3
Early Dexamethasone for Sydenham's Chorea in Children
This trial tests whether a short course of dexamethasone (a steroid tablet) can help children with Sydenham's chorea (movement tics after a strep infection) recover faster. The goal is to see if early treatment improves symptoms and reduces side effects compared to other treatments.
Darwin, Northern TerritoriesAges 4–17 - NCT06902116Recruiting
Bowel preparation for colostomy reversal in children
This study compares two approaches for preparing the bowel before reversing a colostomy (closing the opening in the belly) in children. The goal is to see if using a bowel-cleansing regimen for three days leads to fewer complications than skipping prep entirely.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 1–15 - NCT06851754RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone therapy for teens with early menopause
This trial tests whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps protect bone health in teenagers with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). It compares HRT to a placebo and also includes healthy volunteers for comparison.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 11–19 - 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 - NCT06593080Recruiting
Testing a TB diagnosis checklist for children
This study is testing a new way to diagnose TB in children using simple symptom checklists. It aims to see if these checklists can help doctors find TB earlier and more accurately, especially in children who are very young or have other health problems.
Chingola, CopperbeltAges Up to 14 years - NCT06526507Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
PrEP study for pregnant women in Kenya
This study aims to expand access to PrEP (a daily pill that prevents HIV) for pregnant and postpartum women visiting maternal and child health clinics in Kenya. It also includes health care workers who provide PrEP services.
Kapsabet, NandiAges 15–50 - NCT04069091Recruiting
Program to help mothers with depression during pregnancy or after birth
This trial studies a maternal depression prevention and early help program for people who screen positive for depression. It may help improve mental health during pregnancy or the postpartum period and support health for both parent and child.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 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 - NCT05731141Recruiting
Study of lymphatic birthmarks and related genetic conditions
This study follows people who have lymphatic anomalies (lymphatic birthmarks) and sometimes related vascular or genetic conditions. It aims to better understand how these problems develop and what genetic causes may be involved.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–100 years - 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 - NCT05520983Enrolling by invitation
Behavior program study for teens with learning or thinking differences

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 - NCT05359991Recruiting
Exercise study in children and teens with lung or blood conditions
This study tests how safe and effective a structured exercise program is for children and teens. It also compares results between children with sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and healthy peers (and some teens after COVID-19 infection).

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for child health?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 145 recruiting child health 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 health 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 health 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.
