Family genetic study for eye misalignment and nystagmus
This study looks at genetics in families where eye misalignment (strabismus) and/or constant eye shaking (nystagmus) runs. It may help researchers understand the causes and guide future testing or treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05512169Recruiting
Genetic study in Indian children with newly diagnosed leukemia
This study looks at genetic (DNA) differences to understand acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Indian children and how treatments may fit better. You may be able to join if your child is newly diagnosed, meets the study’s treatment plan rules, and provides consent.
New DelhiAges 1–18 - NCT05508971Recruiting
Personalized tonsil surgery for sleep apnea in children with Down syndrome
This study tests whether a personalized surgical approach can treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with Down syndrome. The goal is to improve breathing during sleep and overall sleep health.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 2–17 - NCT05541276RecruitingPhase 3
Melatonin to prevent waking confusion in young children after surgery
This study tests whether giving melatonin before surgery can help prevent agitation and confusion in young children after they wake up from anesthesia. Participation may help your child have a smoother recovery after their procedure.
Copenhagen, Capital RegionAges 1–6 - NCT05538208RecruitingPhase 2
Children with lupus kidney inflammation using mycophenolate
This Phase 2 study tests how well the medicine mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) works for children and teens with lupus nephritis that is “proliferative” (a specific biopsy type). You may qualify if your kidney biopsy and current treatment match the study’s targets and you can follow frequent visits and testing.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 8–20 - NCT05539378Enrolling by invitation
Study how sleep affects the brain’s self-cleaning process
This study looks at whether improving or tracking sleep changes how the brain “clears” waste. It may help researchers understand sleep’s role in brain health and how to support it.
ZurichAges 50–80 - NCT05544565RecruitingPhase 4
Short IV antibiotics vs switch to oral in young UTI children
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics through a vein for 3 days works as well as giving 3 days through a vein followed by 7 days by mouth for a first urinary tract infection (kidney infection). It may help your child recover safely while possibly reducing longer IV treatment.
Corbeil-Essonnes, EssonneAges 1 month–3 years - NCT05528744Recruiting
Study genes and symptoms in ANKRD17-related CAGS
This study looks at how a specific gene change in ANKRD17 relates to the symptoms, brain/scan findings, and brain-cells in people with Chopra-Amiel-Gordon syndrome (CAGS). It may help families understand the condition better and connect gene results to what is seen clinically.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05540574RecruitingPhase 2
Zolpidem for sleep problems in autistic children
This Phase 2 study tests zolpidem (a sleep medicine) to help children with autism sleep better. It will check sleep changes using sleep testing and to confirm zolpidem is safe for this age group.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 8–17 - NCT05545384RecruitingPhase 3
Immediate vs delayed azathioprine or rituximab for children with anti-MOG attacks
This Phase 3 trial tests whether starting anti-inflammatory treatment right away is better than waiting, using either azathioprine or rituximab, for children with anti-MOG antibody–related acute demyelinating episodes. It may help reduce future attacks and disability.
BesançonAges 6–17 - NCT05546554RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for children, only?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,992 recruiting children, only 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 children, only 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 children, only 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.
