Genetic study of strabismus and certain birth eye-movement disorders
This study looks for genetic (inherited DNA) causes of strabismus (eyes that don’t line up) and certain birth conditions that affect eye movement and brainstem/cranial nerves. Your participation may help researchers better understand these conditions and guide future testing and care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 day+ - NCT03067181RecruitingPhase 3
Active surveillance and chemotherapy for germ cell tumors
This study looks at how to manage germ cell tumors in children and young adults using careful monitoring for some patients and chemotherapy for others. It aims to see whether these approaches can control the cancer while avoiding unnecessary treatment when possible.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT03101813Recruiting
Share DIPG/DMG tumor information for an international registry
This trial builds an international registry (a secure collection of patient records) for people who have been diagnosed with DIPG/DMG, including children and adults. Sharing information can help researchers better understand these tumors and plan future studies.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT03107520RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Ultrasound during hip surgery to check blood flow
This early-phase study tests a special ultrasound with an added contrast medicine (Lumason) during surgery for babies with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). It aims to better see blood flow at the time of surgery, which may help guide and improve care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 4 months–2 years - NCT03108001Recruiting
Follow-up study for kids from Glowing and Expecting
This study is a follow-up for children ages 5 to 14 who joined the earlier Glowing and Expecting research. It helps the team learn how things are going over time after that first study.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 5–14 - NCT03182400Recruiting
Brain and sense testing in healthy kids and adults
This study measures how your brain processes sounds, touch, and thinking tasks in healthy people. It mainly helps researchers understand normal sensory and thinking function, which can guide future studies and tests.
ToursAges 1–60 - NCT03190538Recruiting
Study of fatty liver inflammation in Chinese children
This trial looks at nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (fatty liver with inflammation) in children. It is meant to test whether a new approach can help improve this liver problem without being caused by alcohol or other known liver diseases.
BeijingAges 1–18 - NCT03214354RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant for children with sickle cell and ABO mismatch
This trial studies a stem cell transplant approach for children with sickle cell disease, using a sibling donor whose blood type is not compatible. It aims to see if this transplant method can safely reduce serious sickle cell complications.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 1–19 - NCT03274050Recruiting
Testing robotic surgery for children and adults needing operations
This trial studies how well and how efficiently robotic surgery works in both children and adults who need a procedure where robotic surgery is appropriate. It may help surgeons plan safer, smoother operations and improve operating-room efficiency.
Paris, ParisAges Any age - NCT03301038RecruitingPhase 2
Rifampin for a rare calcium disorder caused by CYP24A1
This trial tests rifampin to improve high blood and/or urine calcium that happens in people with CYP24A1 gene changes. It also checks safety by watching liver and kidney blood tests and pregnancy status.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 6 months–65 years - NCT03331133Recruiting

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.
