- NCT07102511Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Testing a new cholesterol drug in children with high cholesterol
This trial tests if a new medicine, lerodalcibep, can safely lower cholesterol in children ages 6 to 17 who have a genetic condition called heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). It aims to help children whose cholesterol stays high despite taking standard cholesterol-lowering drugs.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 6–17 - NCT07728643Recruiting
Blood vessel particles in children with new high blood pressure
This study looks at tiny particles in the blood (called extracellular vesicles) that may signal early blood vessel changes in children with new high blood pressure. If your child is between 6 and 17, has just been diagnosed with high blood pressure and hasn't started treatment, and is otherwise healthy, this trial may help doctors better understand how high blood pressure affects kids.
OsijekAges 6–17 - NCT07727694Recruiting
Access to new cancer drugs for children and young adults
This trial helps children, teens, and young adults with cancer get early access to promising new drugs that are not yet fully approved for their age group. It collects information on how these drugs work in real-world use.
AntwerpAges birth–25 years - NCT07089121RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Descartes-08 for young people with autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new therapy called Descartes-08 for children, teens, and young adults with autoimmune conditions like lupus, myasthenia gravis, or dermatomyositis. It aims to see if it can help control moderate disease that hasn't responded well enough to other treatments.

Low-dose antifungal for kids with low white blood cells
This trial tests a low dose of an antifungal medicine (liposomal amphotericin B) to prevent serious fungal infections in children whose immune system is weak after cancer treatment or a stem cell transplant. It's for kids aged 3 to 17 who are at high risk for these infections.
Haikou, HainanAges 3–17 - NCT07726706Enrolling by invitation
Robotic walking device use during school hours
This pilot study tests whether students can use a robotic walking device during the school day. It looks at how well it works and how students and staff feel about using it.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT06458036RecruitingPhase 2
Selpercatinib before radioactive iodine for RET-positive thyroid cancer
This study tests whether a targeted drug called selpercatinib, taken before radioactive iodine therapy, can help treat thyroid cancer in children and young adults who have a specific genetic change (RET fusion or mutation). The drug may make the cancer more sensitive to the radioactive iodine treatment that follows.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–25 - NCT06597006RecruitingPhase 3
Study of inclisiran for children with homozygous familial high cholesterol
This trial tests a new medicine called inclisiran to lower very high cholesterol in children aged 2 to 12 who have a specific genetic condition (homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, or HoFH). You may not need to change your current cholesterol treatments, and the study will check if inclisiran can help reduce your LDL cholesterol further.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–11 - NCT06752369Recruiting
Online program for teens with type 1 diabetes and depression
This study tests a short online program to help teens with type 1 diabetes who feel down. It aims to see if a few sessions can improve mood and diabetes management.
Orlando, FloridaAges 12–17 - NCT04833465Recruiting
Testing a new outcome measure in kids with rheumatology diseases
This study looks at how to measure treatment success in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), lupus (SLE), or fibromyalgia (FM). It may help doctors track symptoms more reliably over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 5–21 - NCT07722949Recruiting
A nurse-led program for caregivers of children with autism
This study tests a culturally adapted program where nurses help caregivers build skills to support a child with autism. It aims to reduce stress and improve well-being for both the caregiver and the child.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07316998Recruiting
Myopia study for healthy young children
This study follows children with normal vision to see who develops nearsightedness (myopia) and what factors might affect it. It aims to understand how eye development and environment together influence the need for glasses.
ParisAges 4–8 - NCT07616154RecruitingPhase 2
Gene-Matched Family Stem Cell Transplant for Severe Sickle Cell
This trial tests whether a stem cell transplant from a partially gene-matched family member can cure severe sickle cell disease in children and young adults. The transplant uses a new approach that may work even when a perfectly matched sibling isn't available, and it might help patients whose sickle cell is causing serious complications like strokes, organ damage, or frequent pain crises.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 22 years - NCT07718464Recruiting
AKI risk test for children in the ICU
This study tests a new way to find children in the pediatric ICU who are at risk for serious kidney injury early, so doctors can start treatment sooner. Your child's kidney stress markers will be checked from a blood or urine sample.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT07476937Recruiting
Understanding Sleep and Emotions in Children with Autism
This study looks at how sleep, emotions, and arousal differ in children with autism who have bedtime struggles. If your child is 6 to 10 years old and has trouble falling asleep, this trial may help researchers understand and improve sleep for kids like yours.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 6–10 - NCT03889743RecruitingPhase 4
Steroid treatment to help prevent asthma after a first wheezing illness
This trial studies whether an early steroid treatment can lower the chance that children will go on to develop asthma after their first severe “wheezing” episode caused by a rhinovirus (a common cold virus). If you qualify, the goal is to prevent future asthma rather than just treat the current episode.
TurkuAges 3 months–1.9 years - NCT03102554Enrolling by invitation
Study genes in sex development differences and hypospadias
This study looks for genetic causes of differences in how a baby or child’s sex organs develop, including hypospadias. You may be able to join if doctors can’t find a reason using standard testing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT07614152RecruitingPhase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for children, only?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,109 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.
