Recruiting studies
- NCT04734626Enrolling by invitation
Leg MRI study for mitochondrial muscle weakness
This study uses an MRI scan of the lower leg to look for signs of muscle problems in people with suspected or confirmed mitochondrial disease, and compares them with healthy volunteers. Participants will lie still in the MRI and do a short, mild exercise during the scan to help the researchers see how muscles work.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 7–75 - NCT03862274Enrolling by invitation
Study of development in children with CLN2 due to TPP1 changes
This study looks at how children’s development progresses in CLN2 disease caused by a specific enzyme problem (TPP1). It may help doctors better understand outcomes and guide future care for children with this diagnosis.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT03541785Enrolling by invitation
Using NGAL to guide fluids and start kidney-filtering in children
This study tests whether measuring a urine protein called NGAL can help doctors choose the right fluid amount and decide when to start a kidney-filtering treatment called CRRT in critically ill children with kidney injury. If it works, it may help treat kidney problems sooner and more safely.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 months–25 years - NCT03465657Enrolling by invitation
Study of salt intake in Spanish schoolchildren
This study measures how much salt (sodium) children in Spain typically eat and how their bodies respond. It looks for a representative group of children, so results reflect what many kids are like.
MadridAges 7–11 - NCT03413566Enrolling by invitation
Studying health issues in children with cerebral palsy
This study is looking at how common different health problems are in children with cerebral palsy, and which problems often happen together. It may help clinicians plan better care by understanding the most frequent additional needs.
Ages 5–18 - NCT03369353Enrolling by invitation
Personalized immune testing study for bowel and transplant patients
This study looks at whether a precise lab test can help understand inflammatory bowel disease, functional gut disorders, and immune changes after stem cell transplant or cell therapy. It may help doctors choose better monitoring and treatments based on your immune and gut test results.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT03176836Enrolling by invitation
TP53 mutation imaging study for Li-Fraumeni syndrome
This study takes special body images (MRI) in people from families with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, especially those who carry a TP53 gene mutation. The goal is to see whether MRI can help spot problems earlier in a higher-risk group.
Toronto, OntarioAges Up to 18 years - NCT03054792Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
MRI test to map low-oxygen areas in childhood sarcomas
This Phase 1 study uses special MRI scans to look at “low-oxygen” parts of a childhood sarcoma. It aims to help doctors better understand the tumor before standard treatment that may include chemotherapy and sometimes radiation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 6–18

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for children?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 3,104 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.
