Improving care for children during anesthesia
This study aims to improve how anesthesia care is delivered to children in participating hospitals. Because it includes all children having anesthesia, it may help ensure safer, better care during procedures.
Cleveland, OhioAges Up to 21 years - NCT02461615Recruiting
Registry for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) patients
This study keeps a national record of people with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). It includes one “snapshot” group and one group that follows people with autoimmune PAP and asks about symptoms and quality of life.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT02143830RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant chemotherapy for Fanconi anemia
This Phase 2 study tests a stem cell transplant approach using adjusted chemotherapy doses for people with Fanconi anemia. It may help replace damaged bone marrow and treat blood problems like severe aplastic anemia, MDS, or leukemia.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 months+ - NCT02316379RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Breathing MRI test to map lung airspaces in adults
This early trial uses a special “breathing” MRI scan to create a detailed picture of how air moves in the lungs. It’s mainly a calibration study to set up the scan correctly, and you may help improve the test for future use.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02193841RecruitingPhase 3
Treating simple bone cysts in children with new bone support
This study looks at how well a treatment works for children with a simple bone cyst in an arm or leg. The goal is to prevent problems like fractures while the cyst heals, using a stabilizing implant in the bone.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 2–21 - NCT02235857Recruiting
Device treatment study for children with focal segmental kidney scarring
This trial studies a medical device (the Liposorber LA-15) in children with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a kidney condition that can cause heavy protein loss in the urine. It may help by improving disease control when standard treatments have not worked, were hard to tolerate, or can’t be used.
Akron, OhioAges Up to 21 years - NCT02532452RecruitingPhase 2
T-cells made to fight a specific virus
This Phase 2 study gives you special “virus-targeting” immune cells (T-cells) to help your body control a current viral infection or virus that has come back (reactivated). It may help reduce the virus activity while you are immunocompromised, meaning your immune system is weaker than usual.
Columbus, OhioAges 2 days+ - NCT02402244Recruiting
Caring registry study for children and young people with cancer

Study of CPR quality in children and young adults
This trial looks at how well CPR (chest compressions) is done during an emergency resuscitation in children and young adults. The goal is to understand what helps improve care during life-saving resuscitation.
Akron, OhioAges birth–18 years - NCT02523118Recruiting
Measuring symptoms and test results in eosinophilic gut diseases
This study looks at how eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus and intestines affects outcomes like symptoms and test findings. It may help clinicians better understand these conditions and track what changes over time.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 years+ - NCT02986087Recruiting
FETO balloon procedure for severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia
This trial studies a fetal procedure called FETO (placing a small balloon in the baby’s windpipe) to help severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia babies develop better lungs before birth. It may help some babies whose scans suggest very limited lung growth, but it requires specific timing and pregnancy conditions.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–50 - NCT03178630Recruiting
MRI scans to track outcomes in children with autoimmune liver disease
This study uses MRI scans to find “biomarkers,” or imaging clues, that may help predict how autoimmune liver conditions will progress in children and young adults. If you qualify, you may get MRI imaging to see whether it relates to future health outcomes.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 6–23 - NCT02964494Recruiting
Congenital anemia registry for congenital dyserythropoietic anemia
This study is a registry that collects medical and lab information from people with congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA), a lifelong type of anemia that can cause jaundice. It helps doctors better understand the condition and its causes, including in families where it runs.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT06512883RecruitingPhase 3
Testing benralizumab in children with eosinophil diseases
This trial tests a medicine called benralizumab for children with specific eosinophil-driven diseases (EGPA or HES). It aims to see if the drug can help control these conditions.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 6–17 - NCT02040714Enrolling by invitation
Study of current treatments for Perthes hip disease
This study follows children (and teens) with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease to learn about how today’s treatments work in real life. It may help doctors choose the best next steps for your child’s hip health.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–18 - NCT07409064Recruiting
Exercise's effect on cholesterol and blood vessels in teens
This study looks at how a structured exercise program affects cholesterol and blood vessel health in teens with obesity. It may help understand if exercise can improve heart health.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 10–20 - NCT07435740Recruiting
Online sleep coaching for parents of autistic children

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.
