Namodenoson for advanced liver cancer with moderate cirrhosis
This Phase 3 trial studies whether namodenoson can slow or control advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) in people whose cirrhosis is in a specific middle range. It may help if standard treatments have not worked or the cancer has spread and is not expected to be cured.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05230199Recruiting

Care for mothers and newborns to reduce separation in NICU
This trial tests a “family-centered” approach that aims to keep mothers closely involved with their babies in intensive newborn care, rather than separating them. It may help families by supporting safer, more continuous mother–baby bonding during treatment.

KaramanAges 8–10 - NCT05282095Recruiting
Study how HPV changes affect outcomes in CIN2
This study follows women with an early abnormal cervix cell change (CIN2/CIN2-3) to see how HPV DNA “integration” relates to whether the condition improves or worsens. It may help doctors better predict prognosis and guide safer monitoring, especially if you want to become pregnant.
Fuzhou, FujianAges Up to 45 years - 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).
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 10–17 - NCT05427123Recruiting
Study for kids and teens with bipolar or cyclothymic disorder
This trial is testing treatments for children and teens (ages 9–19) who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder or cyclothymic disorder. It also requires regular participation from a caregiver so the team can track symptoms and response over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 9–19 - NCT05457829RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two chemotherapy combinations for relapsed pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma
This trial compares two treatment combinations—liposomal doxorubicin plus irinotecan versus a different chemotherapy plan—in children and teens whose rhabdomyosarcoma came back or did not respond. It aims to see which option works better and is safer for children who have had prior cancer treatment.
GuangzhouAges 6 months–18 years - NCT05465174RecruitingPhase 2
Tovorafenib for children and young adults with craniopharyngioma
This trial studies tovorafenib to treat craniopharyngioma in children and young adults. It aims to shrink the tumor or slow its growth, and to learn which patients benefit most and what side effects to expect.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–39 - NCT05527080Recruiting
Study brain and movement development in healthy infants
This study looks at how infants’ movement (motility) and early thinking (cognition) develop over time. It may help researchers better understand normal development in healthy babies.
HelsinkiAges 5 months–2.2 years - NCT05490888RecruitingPhase 1
Dose study of PHIN-214 for mild to moderate cirrhosis
This Phase 1 study tests how the medicine PHIN-214 behaves in the body and what dose is tolerable in people with Child-Pugh A or B liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors plan safer dosing for future studies.

Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–55 - NCT05503849Recruiting
Pregnancy study for women early in pregnancy in Guangzhou
This study enrolls pregnant women who are early in pregnancy and plan to deliver and live in Guangzhou. It will test a “born in Guangzhou” type intervention to see if it improves pregnancy outcomes or newborn health.
GuangzhouAges 18–50 - NCT05504772Recruiting
Personalized genetic testing for children with cancer
This trial studies how personalized (tailored) genetic testing can help guide care for children with cancer. It may help match treatment choices to each child’s genetic risk, and it includes optional return of germline (inherited) test results.
AdelaideAges birth–25 years - NCT05505500Recruiting
Parent and patient interviews for childhood kidney swelling
This study uses interviews to understand how swelling from nephrotic syndrome affects daily life for children and their caregivers. It may help researchers design better care by capturing the patient and parent perspective.
