Memphis, TennesseeAges 7 years+ - NCT04770116Recruiting
Auditory sound training after concussion in children
This study tests whether special sound stimulation (using “slow wave” patterns) after a concussion can improve recovery. It may help children’s brain healing, and some participants also have an optional MRI scan to look for changes.
ZurichAges 6–18 - NCT04770519Recruiting
Family genetic study for eye misalignment and nystagmus
This study looks at genetics in families where eye misalignment (strabismus) and/or constant eye shaking (nystagmus) runs. It may help researchers understand the causes and guide future testing or treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04772079RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug safety and effectiveness for youth plaque psoriasis
This study checks whether deucravacitinib works well and is safe in children and teens with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It also looks at drug levels in the body to help understand how the treatment behaves over time.
Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 4–18 - NCT04779320RecruitingPhase 3
Vedolizumab for teens with moderate to severe Crohn's
This trial tests vedolizumab to treat children and teens with moderate to severe Crohn’s disease when standard treatments haven’t worked or caused side effects. It may help reduce gut inflammation and symptoms and help some patients stay healthier over time.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 2–17 - NCT04781140RecruitingPhase 4
Viloxazine trial for preschool kids with ADHD
This study tests whether viloxazine extended-release can reduce ADHD symptoms in children ages 4–5. It also checks safety in preschool-age kids, including heart and nervous-system side effects.
Saraland, AlabamaAges 4 years–5.8 years - NCT04784052RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Briquilimab with reduced donor stem cell transplant for Fanconi anemia
This study tests whether a reduced-intensity donor stem cell transplant (with briquilimab as part of the conditioning) can safely treat bone marrow failure in people with Fanconi anemia. It may help by lowering how much intensive treatment is needed before the transplant, while still helping the donor cells grow.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 2 years+ - NCT04791748Recruiting
Virtual reality balance training for kids with inner-ear problems
This study uses virtual reality tasks to understand and compare balance and movement in children with long-term inner-ear (vestibular) problems versus those without. It may help doctors learn what supports best balance and safety during daily activities.
ParisAges 7 years+ - NCT04794296Recruiting
Care plan for children newly diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
This trial uses a standard treatment plan for children who have just been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It aims to guide the best initial treatment for certain cell types of ALL and help improve outcomes while avoiding specific higher-risk subtypes.
AbidjanAges Up to 18 years - NCT04793867Recruiting
MRI study of lung differences in cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis
This study uses MRI scanning to better understand how the lungs differ in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and in people with non-CF bronchiectasis. The results may help doctors understand disease changes over time and guide future care, especially for children and teens.

Study of new treatment for youth with acute promyelocytic leukemia
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment approach for children and teens newly diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) that is confirmed by a specific lab genetic change. It may help improve outcomes, but it requires meeting several safety and test-confirmation criteria.
