Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT06208657RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer therapy for kids and teens
This trial tests personalized cancer treatments for children and teens whose cancer has not responded to standard therapy. It uses information from precision medicine studies to match the right drug to each child's tumor.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges birth–21 years - NCT06609473Recruiting
Heart-healthy food program for childhood cancer survivors
This study tests a program that helps families get healthy food to lower heart risks in children who have finished cancer treatment. It is for survivors who have at least one heart risk factor and whose family has trouble getting enough food.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 18 years - NCT07019259Recruiting
Light therapy for nerve pain in childhood cancer survivors
This study tests whether shining light on the feet and legs can help reduce nerve damage caused by chemotherapy in people who had cancer as children. If you have ongoing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands or feet from past chemo, this trial may offer a gentle, drug-free treatment.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 5 years+ - NCT07201038Recruiting
Fast whole genome sequencing for childhood cancer
This trial uses a rapid type of genetic testing (whole genome sequencing) to look at the DNA of children and young adults with cancer. The goal is to better understand each person's cancer and potentially guide treatment decisions.
CambridgeAges birth–24 years - NCT00684580Recruiting
St. Jude childhood cancer follow-up data study
This study collects information from children who are currently being treated or followed at St. Jude for childhood cancer. It helps researchers understand care outcomes and improve future planning.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT06626282Recruiting
Fertility after childhood cancer in women
This study looks at how well the ovaries work in women who had childhood cancer. Researchers want to know if cancer treatments affected fertility.
Liège, WalloniaAges 18–50 - NCT07009288Recruiting
Time-restricted eating for childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at whether eating only during a set time each day can improve health in adults who survived childhood cancer. It may help with weight and related health issues.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05582551Recruiting
Screening test program for childhood cancer survivor senses
This trial helps improve how doctors check senses like hearing and vision after childhood cancer. It may help you (or your child) get better screening and support early for new or lasting side effects.
St Louis, MissouriAges 7–17 - NCT06769334Recruiting
School readiness program for young cancer survivors
This study helps young childhood cancer survivors (ages 3 to 6) get ready for school and daily life. It works with both the child's caregiver and teacher to provide support and resources.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT05463796Recruiting
Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT03297034Recruiting
Study of Swiss childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at people who were diagnosed with cancer as children or teens and have survived for at least five years. It may help researchers better understand long-term effects after childhood cancer and improve future care.
BernAges 5 years+ - NCT06153147Recruiting
Kidney & blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at kidney health and blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors. If you finished high-risk cancer therapy about 3 years ago, researchers want to see how your kidneys and blood pressure are doing now.
Toronto, OntarioAges Up to 19 years - NCT07278414Recruiting
Understanding families' needs during a child's cancer journey
This study asks caregivers of children with cancer about their families' non-medical needs, like housing, food, or transportation. The goal is to connect families with community resources that might help.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03604627Recruiting
Checking coronary calcium to study late heart blood vessel changes
This study looks at coronary calcium (a signal seen on heart scans) to help measure early or late heart blood-vessel problems in people who had cancer treatment as children or young adults. The goal is to better understand who may be at higher risk years later, especially after radiation or certain chemotherapy.
Villejuif, Val De MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT04284189Recruiting
Aftercare study for survivors of childhood cancer in Switzerland
This study looks at follow-up care needs for people who survived childhood cancer, especially those in the later teen/adult years. You may be invited to complete questionnaires so the study team can understand and improve long-term aftercare.
AarauAges 16 years+ - NCT04702321Recruiting
Study genetic risks for childhood cancer complications in Switzerland
This study looks at genetic factors to understand why some children who had cancer develop later complications. It uses stored samples and information from a Swiss biobank to help researchers identify higher-risk children.
GenevaAges Up to 21 years - NCT07516301Recruiting
Substance use screening for adult childhood cancer survivors
This study tests whether adding a quick substance use survey and a short follow-up conversation into your regular clinic visits is helpful. It is designed for people who were treated for childhood cancer and are now adults.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 15 years+ - NCT07246213Recruiting
Childhood cancer survivor research study
This study looks back at the medical records of children and young adults diagnosed with cancer in the last 15 years. It helps researchers understand more about cancer in young people.
YerevanAges birth–21 years - NCT06839794Recruiting
Exercise with thinking challenges for kids with cancer
This study tests whether physical activities that also require thinking (like dancing or obstacle courses) can help improve memory and problem-solving skills in children and teens undergoing cancer treatment.
BernAges 6–17 - NCT02959086Recruiting
Study of cancer in Shanghai children and teens
This is an observational study that looks at children and teens (up to age 19) diagnosed with cancer in Shanghai. It aims to understand cancer patterns over time, which can help improve future care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges birth–19 years - NCT03790943Recruiting
Health study of heart problems in childhood cancer survivors
This study follows people who had cancer as children to learn about heart-related changes years after treatment. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk and how to monitor the heart in long-term survivors.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06517927Recruiting
Long-term dental effects of childhood cancer chemo
This study looks at how chemotherapy given before age 10 affects teeth later in life. Researchers want to know if childhood cancer survivors have more dental problems than others.
BrusselsAges 12–36 - NCT05958316Recruiting
Tool to help teens and young adults manage cancer symptoms
This study tests a practical check-in tool that helps adolescents and young adults track and manage symptoms from cancer or cancer treatment. It may help you better handle symptoms day to day during ongoing treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for childhood cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 92 recruiting childhood cancer 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 childhood cancer 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 childhood cancer 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.
