Recruiting studies
- NCT00760656Recruiting
Long-term follow-up study for childhood cancer survivors and friends
This study follows people who were treated for childhood cancer and compares them with similar adults who did not have that childhood cancer. It aims to learn about long-term health and especially walking or mobility issues over time, using check-ins that may include a mobility assessment.

Donor immune cells for preventing infections after stem cell transplant
This trial studies donor-made immune cells (T-cells) given after a stem cell transplant to help your body fight infections. It aims to test how safe the treatment is and whether it supports the immune system in the months after transplant.
Akron, OhioAges 4 weeks+ - NCT00414115Recruiting
Studying side effects of medicines in children
This study follows children who take medicines to better understand what causes side effects. It also looks at family history and genetics to see who may be more likely to have an adverse reaction, and it checks findings using adults.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT01604395Recruiting
Long-term growth hormone check for children with short stature
This study follows children who are short for their age and checks how safe and effective growth hormone is over the long term. It may help families understand expected benefits and side effects for their specific growth-related condition.
SeoulAges 2 years+ - NCT01970696Recruiting
Registry study for certain ovarian and testicular tumors

Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges birth–100 years - NCT00272883Recruiting
Study genes in congenital muscle weakness
This research study looks at genes and molecules to better understand congenital myopathies (birth-related muscle weakness). It may help explain the cause of symptoms and improve future diagnoses for you and your family.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT01401998Recruiting
Study collecting information from people with ARPKD
This study looks at medical records, imaging, and genetic testing for people with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). It may help researchers better understand the condition and how it affects the liver and kidneys.

Test of tumor sample analysis for brainstem glioma
This trial analyzes tumor tissue or samples to learn more about brainstem gliomas, including a common type called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. The results may help doctors better understand these tumors and guide future treatments.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 21 years - NCT00700414Recruiting
Family registry for children with adrenal gland tumors
This study is a registry that collects medical information to better understand adrenal gland tumors in children. It may help researchers learn patterns of these tumors and how they relate to family history.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT01885767Recruiting
Neurofibromatosis registry for NF1, NF2, and Schwannomatosis
This trial is a patient registry portal for people diagnosed with neurofibromatosis types NF1, NF2, or schwannomatosis. By joining, you help researchers collect real-world information that may guide future studies and care.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT00327860Recruiting
Kidney disease in children study that follows patients over time
This is a long-term study that watches children and young adults with chronic kidney disease to understand how the illness changes and to improve care. You may be asked to complete regular visits and questionnaires, and your kidney function will be tracked over time.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 6 months–22 years - NCT00345553Recruiting
Study for children with biliary atresia
This study enrolls children and young adults with biliary atresia (a condition where bile can’t flow properly from the liver) to learn from their care and outcomes over scheduled visits. It may help researchers understand the disease better and improve future treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months–20 years - NCT01790152Recruiting
Dexrazoxane study to monitor heart damage in cancer survivors
This study tests dexrazoxane (DRZ) to see how it affects blood and heart-related “biomarkers,” or measurable signs of heart damage, after cancer treatment. It mainly targets survivors who may be at risk for cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness) or related heart failure.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT01852448Recruiting
Study genes affecting insulin in people with cystic fibrosis
This study looks at how genes may affect insulin and “incretin” hormones in people with cystic fibrosis. It may help researchers understand why some people develop blood-sugar problems and how to predict or prevent them.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2 years+ - NCT02021604RecruitingPhase 1
Fluorodopa scan for congenital hyperinsulinism and insulinoma
This Phase 1 study tests a special imaging medicine (fluorodopa F 18) to help doctors better understand congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) patterns in the body. It may help guide treatment decisions to prevent dangerous low blood sugar and protect brain function.
Fort Worth, TexasAges Up to 18 years - NCT01120353Recruiting
Childhood cancer survivors study to understand long-term health
This study follows people who survived certain childhood cancers to learn what long-term health effects may happen after treatment. It also compares survivors with siblings to help researchers understand differences that may be related to cancer or treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT00674388Recruiting
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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 21 years - NCT00684580Recruiting
St. Jude childhood cancer follow-up data study
This study collects information from children who are currently being treated or followed at St. Jude for childhood cancer. It helps researchers understand care outcomes and improve future planning.

Stem cell transplant trial for children with certain leukemia types
This trial tests whether children and teens with a specific type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) do well after getting donor stem cells (an allogeneic transplant). It may help by using a standardized transplant approach for people in complete remission before the transplant.
Buenos AiresAges 1 month–18 years - NCT01306019RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for children with severe immune deficiency (XSCID)
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy approach to help children with X-linked SCID (a serious inherited immune disorder) make better immune cells. It’s for people who don’t have a fully matched sibling donor and need long-term follow-up after treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–50 - NCT01073475Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for children?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,086 recruiting children 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 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 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.
