We’re tracking 4 recruiting congenital diaphragmatic hernia studies with a site in California — including Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT04583644Recruiting
Fetal airway balloon procedure for severe left lung underdevelopment
This pilot study tests a fetal procedure (placing a tiny balloon in the fetus’s airway) to improve lung growth in pregnancies affected by severe left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). You may be eligible if your baby’s condition is isolated to the left side and the testing shows very high lung underdevelopment, and if you can meet study and payment requirements.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05213676RecruitingPhase 4
Testing stopping inhaled nitric oxide in newborns with CDH
This trial studies whether stopping inhaled nitric oxide (a breathing medicine) can be safely used in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). It may help the team decide the best way to use this medicine during early newborn care.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges birth–1 month - NCT05461222Recruiting
Balloon treatment before birth for severe diaphragmatic hernia
This study looks at placing a small balloon in a baby’s windpipe before birth to help severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The goal is to improve lung growth and birth outcomes by testing whether this timing and method can help babies with the most severe cases.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT05421676Recruiting
Fetal airway procedure for severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia
This trial studies a fetal procedure called FETO that places a small balloon in the baby’s windpipe to help the lungs grow in severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). It may help babies with very small lung development after birth, but you must meet specific pregnancy, genetic, and safety requirements.

What taking part in a congenital diaphragmatic hernia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there congenital diaphragmatic hernia clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 4 recruiting congenital diaphragmatic hernia studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a congenital diaphragmatic hernia study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a congenital diaphragmatic hernia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
