Fetoscopic surgery for severe diaphragmatic hernia
This trial tests if a special surgery (FETO) done while the baby is still in the womb can improve survival for babies with a severe form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The surgery places a small balloon in the baby's windpipe to help the lungs grow. We are looking for pregnant women whose baby has a left-sided CDH with a lung-to-head ratio (LHR) less than 30%, or a right-sided CDH with LHR less than 45%, and whose liver is herniated into the chest.

Columbus, OhioAges 12–18 - NCT07223021RecruitingPhase 3
Fludarabine dosing study for B-cell ALL
This study tests a different dose of the chemotherapy drug fludarabine before CAR T-cell therapy (tisagenlecleucel) for children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal is to see if the new dose works better at helping the body accept the CAR T cells while keeping side effects manageable.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1 year+ - NCT07252713Recruiting
Home-based physical activity program for children with motor delays

What taking part in a children study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
Children trials in other states
Common questions
- Are there children clinical trials in Ohio?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 312 recruiting children studies with a site in Ohio, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a children study in Ohio?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Ohio to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Ohio, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a children trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New children studies open in Ohio regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
