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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT05230199Recruiting
Improving the hospital environment for newborn comfort
This study tests whether changing the hospital environment can improve comfort and care for newborns who are very early in life. It focuses on babies who are delivered early and enrolled right away after birth.
St Louis, MissouriAges 1 day–1 week - NCT05179759Enrolling by invitation
School and teacher program for early grades in rural India

Study of bone disorders and inherited genetic factors
This study looks at bone (skeletal) disorders to better understand possible genetic causes, especially when phosphate levels or bone growth are affected. You may join either if you (or your child) has a bone disorder, or if you’re an unaffected family member who might help compare results.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 months–100 years - NCT05052216Recruiting
Wearable monitor study for kids’ sleep apnea
This study tests a wearable device that can help monitor breathing and sleep in children. It compares children with sleep apnea to children without sleep apnea using a simple nighttime monitoring approach.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–12 - NCT05000632Recruiting
Smoke Free at Home program for families involved with child services

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for child?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 455 recruiting child 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 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 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.
