Device-based nerve stimulation for relapse-preventing kidney disease in kids
This trial tests whether a small non-surgical device can help keep children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome in remission. If it works, it could lower the chance of relapse (kidney flare-ups) and help maintain kidney health.
New Hyde Park, New YorkAges 3–17 - NCT05637320Recruiting
Therapy study for children’s big emotions and mood
This study looks at how children’s emotions change during therapy for concerns like anxiety, depression, or disruptive behavior. It may help you and your child understand what kinds of therapy support might work best.
Guelph, OntarioAges 8–15 - NCT05643651RecruitingPhase 4
Rivaroxaban for kids with large heart artery aneurysms after Kawasaki disease
This trial studies whether rivaroxaban (a blood thinner) can help prevent dangerous clots in children age 2 and older who have “giant” coronary artery aneurysms after Kawasaki disease. Doctors will see if it’s safe and tolerable for children who are also on standard anti-clot/anti-platelet medications for the next 3 months.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 2–18 - NCT05648019RecruitingPhase 2
CD19 CAR T-cell therapy for tough B-cell blood cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a one-time CAR T-cell treatment aimed at CD19, a target found on many B-cell leukemias and lymphomas. It’s for people whose disease has come back or hasn’t responded to prior treatments, or who can’t have a stem cell transplant.
SingaporeAges birth–70 years - NCT05687292Recruiting
Decision tool to shorten breathing machine time in children
This study tests whether a computer “decision support” tool can help doctors safely reduce how long a child stays on a breathing machine after heart surgery. It may help children get off mechanical ventilation sooner and recover faster.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 day–12 years - NCT05692011Recruiting
Testing a blood-filter treatment in children with early sepsis
This trial looks at whether a blood-filter treatment (called “AN69ST Verse PS” using a hemofilter) can help children with early, serious sepsis and poor circulation or organ problems. It may help stabilize the body faster, but eligibility is limited to certain sepsis situations and recent timing.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 4 weeks–28 years - NCT05703347Recruiting
Mobile app coaching to improve sleep and prevent childhood obesity
This study tests a mobile health app that helps children get better sleep, aiming to support healthier weight over time. It is designed for children who are getting less sleep than recommended and are in the higher-but-not-highest weight range for their age.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 8–12 - NCT05730491Recruiting

MontpellierAges 6–16 - NCT05734547Recruiting
Support for children after trauma through parent-and-child sessions
This trial offers a structured program for children who have ongoing trauma symptoms after a scary or harmful event, with work involving both the child and a parent/caregiver. It aims to reduce post-trauma stress symptoms and help the child feel safe again.
AskerAges 7–12 - NCT05763251Recruiting

Birmingham, AlabamaAges 4 months+ - NCT05768399Recruiting
Study uses blood or test markers to track childhood asthma
This study looks for biological “markers” that may help explain why asthma starts and how it changes over time in children. It may help your child’s doctors understand asthma better, especially for diagnosis or tracking.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 4–12 - NCT05772871RecruitingPhase 4
Prednisone plus herbal granules for children with nephrotic syndrome
This trial tests whether adding Huaiqihuang granules to prednisone can improve outcomes for children with primary, hormone-sensitive nephrotic syndrome. It also closely monitors safety to see if the combination causes fewer or more side effects than usual care.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 1.5 years–18 years - NCT05781152RecruitingPhase 4
