Adding dasatinib or venetoclax for children with T-cell leukemia or lymphoma
This trial tests whether adding either dasatinib or venetoclax to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for children aged 1 to 18 with newly diagnosed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoblastic lymphoma, or mixed phenotype acute leukemia. It compares the effects of these added drugs to help doctors find better treatment options.

Xylitol dental wipes to reduce infection risk in childhood leukemia
This trial tests whether using xylitol dental wipes can lower the risk of bloodstream infections in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are receiving chemotherapy. If you or your child have AML and will have at least two cycles of chemo that include cytarabine, this study may help reduce infection risk.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 1–25 - NCT06368817RecruitingPhase 2
Lower radiation dose for children with CNS germinoma
This trial will see if giving a lower dose of radiation therapy can still effectively treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called germinoma. The goal is to reduce side effects while keeping the cancer under control.

- 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.
