Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT07602595Recruiting
Understanding pain after childhood rheumatic disease or surgery
This study helps researchers learn how young adults (ages 14–26) who had rheumatic disease or orthopedic surgery as children experience pain over time. By understanding your story, the study may help doctors better support others facing similar challenges.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 14–26 - NCT07628972RecruitingPhase 1
Quercetin for telomere biology disorders
This study tests whether a natural supplement called quercetin can help people with dyskeratosis congenita or other telomere biology disorders. These are rare conditions where cells have unusually short telomeres (protective caps on chromosomes), which can affect bone marrow and increase cancer risk.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 2 years+ - NCT07635056RecruitingPhase 2
Natural killer cells for hard-to-treat neuroblastoma
This trial tests specially prepared immune cells (called CIML-NK cells) from a partially matched family donor to fight neuroblastoma that has returned or stopped responding to standard treatment. The goal is to see if these cells can help patients whose cancer is difficult to control.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1–39 - NCT07649213Recruiting
Finding genetic causes of inherited hemolytic anemia
This research study helps doctors identify the genetic reason why some people have hemolytic anemia (a condition where red blood cells break down too quickly). Researchers will study patients with this condition and their family members to understand the underlying cause and potentially improve diagnosis and treatment.

Cincinnati, OhioAges 10–25 - NCT06094504Enrolling by invitation
Light therapy for babies with intestinal failure
This study tests whether a special kind of lighting can help babies with intestinal failure. If your baby is born at or after 32 weeks and has or is expected to have intestinal failure, this study may be an option.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Up to 1 year - NCT05927194Enrolling by invitation
Game-based program for middle school students in Texas
This trial tests a game-based program called “Using the Connect” to see how well it works for middle school students. It may help improve the skills or outcomes the program targets, but you would need to be able to do it in English.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 9–15 - NCT05673551Enrolling by invitation
VR during at-home burn dressing changes for kids
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can help children feel better during daily burn dressing changes at home. It will study comfort and pain around the first time you do dressings after leaving the hospital.
Columbus, OhioAges 6–17 - NCT05659147Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
MRI study of pancreas function in children with pancreatic issues
This study uses a special pancreas MRI to see how well the pancreas works and how pancreas disease changes over time. It also compares MRI findings in children with different pancreas conditions, including suspected pancreatic insufficiency and episodes of pancreatitis.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 5–21 - NCT05426733Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term extension study of odevixibat for biliary atresia
This study follows children with biliary atresia who finished an earlier 104-week treatment study, to check how well odevixibat works over the long term and whether it remains safe. If you completed the prior study, this extension may be an option to continue monitoring and treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT05161078Enrolling by invitation
Studies CARPEDIEM care for newborns and babies in participating hospitals

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.

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.
