Recruiting studies
- NCT03398629Recruiting
Study of babies with slow growth or birth defects

Using sound and balance exercises to help ADHD at school
This study tests whether adding specific sound and balance-related training at school can help children with ADHD. It may offer a non-medicine approach, and it also includes children without an ADHD diagnosis for comparison.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 9–18 - NCT03427736Recruiting
Studying pain and numbing medicines in children
This trial looks at how well different numbing and pain-relief medicines work in children during routine care. It may help doctors choose safer, better pain control for kids who need these medicines.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges birth–17 years - NCT03435042Recruiting
Hypnosis group program to help children with cancer and parents
This trial tests a hypnosis-based group program to improve quality of life for children with cancer and their parents. You may join if your family speaks French and the child is aged 8–18 and has cancer (or has a sibling with cancer).
LiègeAges 8 years+ - NCT03465592RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nivolumab after mismatched bone marrow transplant for sarcoma
This trial studies nivolumab (an immune treatment) in people with sarcoma who already had a partially mismatched bone marrow transplant. It may help the new immune system recognize and attack cancer, and researchers will also watch closely for side effects like GVHD (immune reaction after transplant) and autoimmune problems.
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges 1–40 - NCT03481881Recruiting
Drug dosing study in children getting routine medicines
This study measures how children’s bodies handle medicines they are already prescribed as standard care. It may help doctors choose safer, more accurate doses for children in the future.
Durham, North CarolinaAges birth–20 years - NCT03509961RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing total body radiation for children with leukemia transplants
This study looks at whether some children and young adults with B-ALL can safely get a transplant without total body irradiation (TBI), based on special leukemia test results. It’s meant to help lower radiation-related risks while keeping leukemia control strong.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–25 - NCT03513003Recruiting
Pacifier use to improve misaligned baby teeth
This study tests whether using a pacifier can help correct common misalignments in young children’s baby teeth and bite. It may help children whose upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly, with or without tongue thrust.
BaselAges 2–5 - NCT03516968RecruitingPhase 3
Monthly vs daily vitamin D for obese children
This study compares taking vitamin D as a monthly dose versus a daily dose in children with low vitamin D levels. It aims to correct the vitamin D deficiency and see which schedule works best and is safe.
BronAges 5–18 - NCT03587272RecruitingPhase 2
Sibling bone marrow transplant to reduce treatment side effects
This study tests a way to do a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant from an HLA-matched sibling in children with sickle cell disease, aiming to lower the risk of serious side effects. You may be considered if you have certain past sickle complications and your body can safely handle the transplant plan.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 2–25 - NCT03583684Recruiting
Brain scan study to predict response to Pivotal Response Treatment
This study uses brain scans to learn which young children with autism are most likely to improve with Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT). It may help families and clinicians choose the best early treatment based on early brain signals.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 2–4 - NCT03587948Recruiting
Diabetes eye study for teens with diabetes
This study looks at how diabetes affects the eyes in children and teens. It may help doctors better detect or understand eye problems earlier in people with diabetes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 5–18 - NCT03601286RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy for X-linked SCID using a modified virus
This early-stage study tests a one-time lentiviral gene therapy to help children with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1) make infection-fighting T cells. It may reduce the need for a matching donor transplant, but it requires long-term follow-up for safety over many years.
London, Greater LondonAges 2 months–5 years - NCT03622359Recruiting
Imaging blood flow in leg artery disease using a scan
This study uses a special “radiotracer” scan to look at how well blood flows through the arteries in the legs. It may help researchers better understand circulation problems from peripheral artery disease.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03625011RecruitingPhase 4
Gabapentin before tonsil surgery to reduce pain
This trial tests whether giving gabapentin before pediatric tonsil (and possibly adenoid) removal can reduce postoperative pain. It may help children feel more comfortable after surgery while still being safe to use in the right patients.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 3–18 - NCT03633162Recruiting
Study about maternal grandmothers’ effects on babies
This study looks at whether what maternal grandmothers know, do, or influence during a pregnancy is linked to outcomes for grandchildren. You may be included if your grandchild was born at the study hospital and key pregnancy details are available.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 36–100 - NCT03643276RecruitingPhase 3
Study of treatment plans for children with leukemia
This Phase 3 trial tests a specific treatment protocol for children and teens newly diagnosed with certain types of leukemia, aiming to improve outcomes while managing side effects. You may be invited if your child’s leukemia type and timing fit the study rules.
SydneyAges Up to 17 years - NCT03647852Recruiting
Study for difficult IgA vasculitis with gut symptoms
This study looks at treatment strategies for children with IgA vasculitis (also called Henoch-Schönlein purpura) when it mainly affects the stomach and intestines and symptoms do not improve with standard steroid dosing. It may help find better ways to control the illness early and prevent serious complications.
ShanghaiAges 2–16 - NCT03657693Recruiting
MRI test in newborns with breathing problems (BPD)
This study uses MRI (a special scan) to look at babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a long-term breathing condition that can happen after being in the NICU. It aims to learn more about what’s happening in the lungs and how MRI can be used safely in these babies.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Up to 4 months - NCT03668327Recruiting
Study of babies born early in Guangzhou
This study follows babies who were born early (before 37 weeks) to learn more about health outcomes over time. It may help doctors better understand and support families after an early birth.
GuangzhouAges Up to 18 years - NCT03687411Recruiting
Ultrasound tool to find spinal landmarks for anesthesia
This trial tests an ultrasound-based device that automatically marks key spots in your lower back so anesthesia can be given more accurately. It may help the anesthesia provider place the needle with better guidance during surgery.
SingaporeAges 21–75 - NCT03710928Recruiting
Very low carbohydrate diet versus standard diet for type 1 diabetes
This study compares a very low carbohydrate diet to a regular diet to see how well blood sugar control works for adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help you understand which eating pattern is easier and safer for managing daily glucose with modern diabetes technology.
