Recruiting studies in Ohio
- 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 2 years+ - 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 - NCT04467671RecruitingPhase 2
Tested new blood vessel graft for a heart surgery
This trial studies whether a newer “tissue-engineered” blood vessel graft is safe and works well in children who need a specific heart surgery connection outside the heart. It may help by offering a new type of graft, but your team will screen for size and medical factors first.

Cleveland, OhioAges 1–80 - NCT04580368Recruiting
Personalized drug testing for cystic fibrosis using small trials
This trial tests how well cystic fibrosis (CF) medicine works for you using an “n-of-1” approach, meaning you try treatments in a structured, repeated way to see what helps you most. It may help your care team choose the best option for your specific CF genetics and health status.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 6 years+ - NCT04655404RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Larotrectinib for children with newly diagnosed glioma with NTRK fusion

Cincinnati, OhioAges 5–100 - NCT04851119RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tegavivint for kids and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This early-phase study tests tegavivint to see how well it works and how safe it is for children and young adults with solid cancers that have come back or are not responding. It may be an option if your tumor type (including certain lymphomas or desmoid tumors) matches the study’s rules.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1–30 - NCT04870944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBL0137 for children with advanced solid or brain tumors
This early-phase study tests CBL0137 in children and teens whose cancer has come back or is not responding to treatment. It is also for some specific hard-to-treat brain tumors, to see if the drug is safe and can work against the cancer.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1–21 - NCT04886895Recruiting
Motor training program for infants with cerebral palsy risk
This study tests a motor (movement) training program for very young infants at higher risk for cerebral palsy or who show early signs of it. The goal is to see whether training improves early movement and development during the first months of life.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 months–8 months - NCT04928677RecruitingPhase 1
Codrituzumab for children and young adults with GPC3-positive solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests codrituzumab, an antibody medicine, in children and young adults whose solid tumor has come back or did not respond to standard treatment. It’s designed to see how the treatment works and how safe it is, especially for tumors that test positive for GPC3.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1–21 - NCT04991389RecruitingPhase 4
Test a breathing study plan for kids with sleep apnea after surgery
This trial studies how to improve outcomes for children who still have obstructive sleep apnea after having their tonsils and adenoids removed. It uses computer modeling (based on breathing/airflow) and may include a special breathing gas during testing in some parts of the study.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3–18 - NCT04995562RecruitingPhase 4
MRI breathing scan in NICU babies using a special gas

Cincinnati, OhioAges Up to 6 months - NCT05026749RecruitingPhase 3
Azithromycin for severe RSV breathing failure in young children
This trial tests whether azithromycin (an antibiotic) can improve outcomes for babies and young children in the ICU who have RSV causing serious breathing problems. It mainly looks at children who start strong breathing support soon after RSV symptoms begin.
Cleveland, OhioAges 3 days–2 years - NCT05071144Recruiting
Registry for children getting robotic spine surgery

Cleveland, OhioAges birth–21 years - NCT05096481RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine trial for children with certain brain tumors
This Phase 2 study tests a vaccine made to target CMV (a virus) in order to treat children with medulloblastoma or newly diagnosed high-grade glioma/DIPG. If you’re eligible, you’d receive the study vaccine and the team would closely watch how well it’s tolerated and how your cancer responds.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3–39 - NCT05125302RecruitingPhase 3
Ubrogepant for acute migraine relief in kids and teens

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.
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.
