Understanding Sleep and Emotions in Children with Autism
This study looks at how sleep, emotions, and arousal differ in children with autism who have bedtime struggles. If your child is 6 to 10 years old and has trouble falling asleep, this trial may help researchers understand and improve sleep for kids like yours.

A study of abrocitinib for children ages 6–11 with eczema
This trial tests a daily pill called Abrocitinib to see if it can help children ages 6 to 11 with moderate-to-severe eczema that hasn't gotten better with creams or ointments. Eczema (also called atopic dermatitis) causes itchy, red skin, and this medicine might calm the immune response to reduce itching and rashes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 6–11 - NCT06807281RecruitingPhase 3
Abrocitinib for children with eczema: long-term study
This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of abrocitinib (Cibinqo) for children aged 6 to 12 with moderate to severe eczema that hasn't improved with creams. It may help their skin clear and reduce itching.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2–11 - NCT03889743RecruitingPhase 4
Steroid treatment to help prevent asthma after a first wheezing illness
This trial studies whether an early steroid treatment can lower the chance that children will go on to develop asthma after their first severe “wheezing” episode caused by a rhinovirus (a common cold virus). If you qualify, the goal is to prevent future asthma rather than just treat the current episode.
TurkuAges 3 months–1.9 years - NCT07675161Recruiting
MiniMed wearable device study for children with diabetes
This study tests a small wearable device that helps manage diabetes. It is designed for children and teens ages 7 to 17 who use insulin, and aims to see how well the device fits and works in daily life.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 7–17 - NCT03102554Enrolling by invitation

This study looks for genetic causes of differences in how a baby or child’s sex organs develop, including hypospadias. You may be able to join if doctors can’t find a reason using standard testing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT07614152RecruitingPhase 3
Growth hormone treatment for girls with Turner syndrome
This study tests whether a new long-acting growth hormone injection helps girls with Turner syndrome grow taller. Turner syndrome is a genetic condition that affects growth, and this trial will see if this treatment is safe and effective.

Abatacept for children with CVID and lung scarring

Impact of a special gel on tonsillectomy recovery in children
This trial tests whether applying a special gel called RADA16 to the surgical site after tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) can help children heal better and with less pain. It may offer a new way to improve recovery after this common surgery.
Livingston, New JerseyAges 3–17 - NCT02530658Recruiting
Sequencing children’s tumor and normal tissue samples
This study collects children’s normal and tumor tissue (or blood-related normal samples) and reads their DNA/RNA to look at genetic information. It may help researchers understand cancer-related changes and improve future testing, even when the goal isn’t to treat you directly.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT06528496RecruitingPhase 2
Less chemo plus antibody therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
This study tests whether giving fewer chemotherapy drugs along with other targeted therapies (monoclonal antibodies) works well for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. It aims to reduce side effects while still treating the cancer effectively.
New York, New YorkAges 1.5 years–19 years - NCT07718204Recruiting
Medication help for kids after bone marrow transplant
This study tests a program that helps caregivers remember to give their child's oral medications after a bone marrow transplant. If you are the main caregiver for a child who had a transplant and is still in the hospital, this trial might be for you.
Columbus, OhioAges birth–12 years - NCT07717879RecruitingPhase 3
Testing solriamfetol for children with ADHD
This trial tests whether a medication called solriamfetol can safely help children with ADHD. If your child is between 6 and 12 years old and has ADHD, this study may be an option.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 6–11 - NCT07717853Recruiting
CO-OP therapy for kids with autism
This study tests a therapy called CO-OP that helps children with autism learn to plan and carry out everyday tasks like getting dressed or doing homework. We want to see if it helps kids become more independent.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 7–10 - NCT04798690Recruiting
Long-term growth injections for short children
This trial studies the long-term safety and effectiveness of Growtropin®-II, a growth hormone–type injection, in children who are short due to certain causes. It may help your child’s growth over time, while also closely tracking side effects.
Seoul, Seodaemun-guAges 2 years+ - NCT06967389Recruiting
Helping kids with severe obesity reduce heart risks
This trial tests whether semaglutide can lower heart disease risks in children with extreme obesity. It aims to improve weight and heart health over time.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 12–17 - NCT07625657Recruiting
CLIKX System for Ear Tube Placement Surgery
This trial tests a new device called CLIKX that helps doctors place small tubes in the eardrum to treat ear fluid and hearing problems. The study will evaluate whether this device works safely and effectively for patients needing ear tube surgery.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 6 months+ - NCT05492266Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for nasal speech in children
This trial tests whether strengthening the muscles you use to breathe out can help children ages 5–17 who have too much nasal sound in their speech. If it works, it could reduce the need for surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 5–17 - NCT07715006Recruiting
Spinal nerve stimulation for children with cerebral palsy
This study adds a mild electrical stimulation to the spinal nerves during a planned SDR surgery for children with cerebral palsy, to see if it helps improve movement more than the surgery alone.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 3–14 - NCT06745570Recruiting

- 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.
