Reus, TarragonaAges 2–18 - NCT04370730Recruiting
Study brain and symptoms in youth with early psychosis
This study looks at how psychosis symptoms and development change over time in children and teens. It may help doctors better understand different patterns of illness and how to support young people with these disorders.
GentillyAges 7–20 - NCT04372485Recruiting
Text-message support to help teens finish STI antibiotics
This trial tests whether a mobile phone text-message program can help teens stick to their outpatient antibiotic treatment for common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It may help improve cure rates by supporting correct medication timing and completion.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 15–21 - NCT04372875Recruiting
Help for teens using health tech in the emergency room
This trial tests whether using a health information technology tool in the emergency department can improve sexual health care and reduce health disparities for teens. It focuses on gathering survey and screening information so care can better meet needs.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 15–21 - NCT04375800RecruitingPhase 2
Doravirine for children with HIV infection and stable treatment
This Phase 2 study tests doravirine (a type of HIV medicine) in children with HIV who are about 4 weeks to under 12 years old and weigh under 45 kg. It aims to see whether this regimen can control the virus safely, and some children may continue into an extension if they benefit.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 4 weeks–11 years - NCT04380051Recruiting
Sensory touch therapy to help parents bond with very preterm babies
This study tests whether a gentle sensory “stimulation” approach can improve how parents and very preterm babies interact and support the baby’s social development. If you qualify, you and your baby would be asked to take part so researchers can see whether this early intervention helps bonding and social skills.
ReimsAges Up to 1 day - NCT04380740RecruitingPhase 2
Longer vs shorter abatacept doses to prevent graft-versus-host disease
This trial tests whether giving abatacept for a longer or shorter time can better prevent graft-versus-host disease (a common complication after a stem cell transplant). If you’re having a planned unrelated donor transplant, the results may help reduce the risk or severity of transplant-related immune problems.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 2 years+ - NCT04390035Recruiting
Blood-flow training after ACL surgery for teens
This trial looks at whether a special exercise method that changes blood flow during physical therapy (called BFRT) can improve recovery after ACL reconstruction in teens. It may help strength and rehab progress, but you would need to meet several surgery and safety requirements and attend many PT visits.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 12–18 - NCT04395495Recruiting
RASopathy disorder study biobank for kids and families
This study collects and stores health samples and information from people with RASopathy conditions (like Noonan or Costello syndromes) and from family members who may not have the condition. It helps researchers understand these disorders and supports future studies that could lead to better care.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT04416178Recruiting
Survey and interviews for families affected by sickle cell disease
This study collects feedback through surveys, interviews, and focus groups from people affected by sickle cell disease. Your input helps the research team improve how genomic and gene-therapy information and needs are understood for patients and caregivers.

- 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.
