Aurora, ColoradoAges 1 month–1.1 years - NCT05911893Recruiting
High-calorie supplement for malnourished toddlers’ growth
This study looks at whether giving a high-calorie oral nutrition supplement helps children aged 1 to 3 years who are undernourished gain weight and grow. You may be eligible if your child has low growth measurements and takes in too few calories for their needs.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 1–3 - NCT07490587RecruitingPhase 2
Probiotic study for healthy infant growth and allergy prevention
This trial tests a probiotic supplement (Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis XLTG11) to see if it helps infants grow better and have fewer allergies. It is for healthy babies up to 3 years old who are at higher risk for allergies.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for growth & development?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 32 recruiting growth & development studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a growth & development 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 growth & development 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.
