Recruiting studies
- NCT02390765Recruiting

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT02552511Recruiting
Study of seizures in newborns and how often they occur
This study looks at newborns (up to 28 days old) who have seizures to understand them better, using EEG brain-wave testing. If you agree to participate and can follow the study plan, your child’s information may help researchers learn more about neonatal seizures.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT02708134Recruiting
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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 3 years+ - NCT02650622Recruiting
Study of genetic and metabolic diseases in children
This study looks at children who may have genetic (inherited) or metabolic (body chemistry) problems, including newborn screening and episodes of trouble. The goal is to better understand these conditions and identify children who may benefit from further care.
Dallas, TexasAges 1 day+ - NCT02793999Recruiting
Near-infrared monitoring to guide cooling in newborns
This study tests a special, non-invasive sensor (near-infrared light) to help doctors choose the best cooling treatment for some newborns after brain injury. It may improve how well cooling works and how safely it’s managed in the first week of life.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 2 years - NCT02720679Recruiting
Study genetics behind blood disorders in children and families
This study looks at genetic (DNA) factors that may contribute to certain blood disorders. You may be invited if you or a close family member is receiving care for a blood condition like MDS or MPN, and the study also includes related relatives.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT02917460Recruiting
Join a children’s genomic sample and data library
This study collects and stores DNA samples and related health information from people of all ages. It helps researchers understand childhood diseases better and may support future discoveries and treatments.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03019692Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for babies with brain bleeding
This study follows newborns and premature babies who had bleeding in the brain (intra-cranial or within the brain’s fluid spaces). It looks at long-term outcomes to better understand what happens over time and support families with care planning.
Netanya, IsraelAges 1 hour–3 months - NCT03224845Recruiting
Parent and child program for anxious children
This study tests a program to help parents and young children (ages 2–8) when the child is prone to anxiety and the parent has an anxiety diagnosis. It may help families learn skills to reduce anxious feelings and improve daily functioning.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges Any age - NCT03202303RecruitingPhase 2
CBDV treatment study for children with autism irritability
This Phase 2 study tests CBDV, a form of cannabis-based medicine, compared with placebo (dummy medicine) in children with autism who have significant irritability and social challenges. It aims to see whether CBDV can improve behavior and overall symptom severity safely over the study period.
New York, New YorkAges 5–18 - NCT02935283Recruiting
MRI brain and thinking tests in urea cycle disorders
This study uses MRI scans and memory/thinking tests to understand brain effects of urea cycle disorders, like ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) and argininosuccinate (ASSD/ASLD). It may help researchers understand how brain function changes during and between metabolic crises.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 7–50 - NCT03294954RecruitingPhase 1
GD2 CAR plus IL-15 modified cells for children with neuroblastoma
This early-phase trial tests an immune-cell treatment made from the child’s own cells, designed to attack neuroblastoma. It aims to help children whose cancer has come back or did not respond to standard treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 1–21 - 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 - NCT07676240Recruiting
Coaching program for fathers with young kids in home visiting

Seattle, WashingtonAges 1 year+ - NCT06534359Recruiting
Gastric vs transpyloric feeding for BPD
This study compares two ways of feeding premature babies with lung disease (BPD) who still need breathing support: feeding through a tube into the stomach (gastric) versus past the stomach into the small intestine (transpyloric). The goal is to see which feeding method helps these babies grow better and avoid problems.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1 month–1 year - NCT07671651Recruiting
Ozone therapy for early tooth decay in children
This trial tests whether ozone therapy can help reverse the earliest stages of tooth decay (white spots on teeth) in children. Children aged 6–12 with small, non-cavity spots may benefit from this treatment instead of traditional fillings.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for children?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,109 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.
