Study of early development in babies with extra sex chromosomes
This study follows infants and young children with conditions caused by having an extra sex chromosome (like XXY, XYY, or XXX) to learn how health and development unfold over time. It may help families and doctors understand what to expect and what support could be helpful.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1 month–1.1 years - NCT06122805Recruiting
Electric vs. Manual Toothbrush for Kids with Cleft Lip/Palate

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6–20 - NCT04217421RecruitingPhase 3
Allopurinol for newborns needing heart surgery with bypass
This trial tests whether the medicine allopurinol can protect the brain and heart in newborns with serious congenital heart disease who need heart surgery soon after birth. It may help reduce injury during and around surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
GroningenAges Up to 1 month - NCT06019130RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab for newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (Opdivo) can help treat nasopharyngeal cancer in both children and adults. It is for people who have just been diagnosed and have not yet received any cancer treatment.
AachenAges 3 years+ - NCT04559425Recruiting
Registry study for immune-related serious slowed fetal heart rhythm
This study follows pregnancies where the baby has a serious immune-related heart rhythm problem (high-grade AV block). It collects information to better understand what happens during pregnancy and after delivery, especially when blood tests show anti-Ro/La antibodies.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 16–50 - NCT04625907RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study testing treatment options for children and adults with RMS
This study tests different treatment approaches for rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in children and adults, including newly diagnosed high-risk cases, people needing radiotherapy, and people whose RMS has returned. It’s designed to find safer dosing and more effective therapy while checking whether participants can proceed based on health and timing requirements.
BrisbaneAges Any age - NCT05310591RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study anti-PD1 treatment with Kymriah re-dosing for leukemia
This Phase 1/2 trial studies giving an anti-PD1 antibody (like pembrolizumab or nivolumab) along with a second Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) infusion in children and young adults whose B-cell leukemia is coming back or their Kymriah effect has faded. It may help the new immune treatment work better after the first Kymriah.
BordeauxAges 1–25 - NCT05758532RecruitingPhase 4
Modified measles vaccine schedule to help prevent allergies in babies
