Study collects health information for kids’ and teens’ gynecology concerns
This is a research study that gathers information about pediatric and adolescent gynecology conditions. It may help researchers better understand these issues by learning about symptoms, care, and outcomes—without requiring a specific treatment.

Screening kids for inherited high cholesterol
This study checks children ages 1 to 3 during routine care to see who may have familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that causes high cholesterol. Early identification can help families learn about next steps and prevention.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 1–3 - NCT04398901Enrolling by invitation
Study of brain and development outcomes after Zika exposure
This study follows children to compare development in kids exposed to Zika before birth versus similar children not exposed. The goal is to understand what effects Zika exposure may have on early brain development and long-term outcomes.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 3–7 - NCT04153838Enrolling by invitation
Track thinking skills in children over time
This study follows children’s thinking and learning over time using simple testing at school. It aims to better estimate how children’s thinking develops and how it changes as they grow.
Aberdeen, UKAges 6–17 - NCT04026386Recruiting
Early intervention program for preschool children with developmental delays
This trial tests a structured, center-based early intervention program for preschoolers with developmental disorders. It may help children build skills and support development through guided activities and testing at the research site.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 2–5 - 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 - NCT03610906Enrolling by invitation
Study of blood/tissue targets in suspected childhood brain tumors
This study looks at biological “targets” (things in the body) to help guide future medical treatments for children and teens with suspected craniopharyngioma. It will collect and analyze tissue samples from planned care to understand what therapies might work best.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 4 weeks–21 years - NCT03666052Enrolling by invitation
Study for kids with severe nearsightedness in Shanghai
This study registers children and teens in Shanghai who have significant nearsightedness, to better track eye health over time. It may help researchers understand why high myopia develops and how to prevent or monitor complications.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 4–18 - NCT03307304Recruiting
Studying different forms of childhood brain-wasting disease
This study looks at people with CLN3 and other related forms of NCL (a childhood brain-wasting illness) to better describe symptoms and disease changes over time. You may be followed with regular check-ins, medical records, and sometimes NIH visits or sample collection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 week–100 years - NCT03307317Recruiting
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 - NCT03228875Recruiting
Boston birth study for mothers who deliver a single baby
This study enrolls mothers who deliver a single live baby at Boston Medical Center. It looks at pregnancy and newborn factors in families with uncomplicated, singleton births.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–50 years - NCT02769975Recruiting
Check children and teens with hormone and metabolism problems
This study evaluates children (and sometimes relatives) who may have hormone (endocrine) or metabolism-related conditions. It helps doctors better understand these problems by doing a clinical evaluation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3 months–100 years - NCT02402244Recruiting
Caring registry study for children and young people with cancer
This study keeps a careful record of children, teens, and young adults with cancer (and some related growths) and may follow them over time. It helps researchers better track outcomes and future contact so care can improve.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 25 years - NCT02390765Recruiting
Study of growth, weight, and behavior in children
This study looks at how children’s growth and weight relate to thinking, mood, and behavior. It may help researchers understand what patterns affect health and development so they can guide better support for families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–100 - NCT00250159Recruiting
Natural history study for hormone-related excess androgen
This study follows people who may have too much “androgen” (a hormone) to learn what causes it and how it changes over time. You may be followed even if the exact cause is not yet known, and your results may help doctors better understand these conditions.

Understanding and Diagnosing Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
This study helps doctors better understand and diagnose pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma—rare tumors that release stress hormones and cause high blood pressure and other symptoms.

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.
