Recruiting studies
- NCT05553041RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET-MRI scan test for aggressive brain tumors in children

Immunotherapy trial for children with relapsed or stubborn AML
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a lab-made immune-cell treatment (NK cells) for children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It aims to help the immune system attack leukemia cells in the bone marrow, especially when standard treatments have not worked.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 2 years+ - NCT05591066Recruiting
Family I-PASS listening survey to improve care teamwork
This study gathers feedback from patients and families, as well as hospital staff, to improve communication and teamwork in pediatric inpatient units. It focuses on helping care work for diverse languages and family needs.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT05612256Recruiting
Measuring breathing pressure in newborns using EIT
This study uses a painless electrical sensor method (EIT) to help find the best positive end-expiratory pressure setting for newborns on a ventilator. The goal is to improve how the ventilator supports breathing in the early days of life.
BaselAges birth–4 weeks - NCT05622461Recruiting
Recovery support program for children after traumatic brain injury
This trial supports families during the early weeks after a child’s brain injury and hospital stay. It aims to help caregivers and children move toward recovery with better support after discharge.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05660746RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Infliximab dose tailored to control Crohn’s inflammation
This trial tests a more precise way to start infliximab (a Crohn’s medicine) and adjust dosing based on how your body responds. It aims to better control Crohn’s inflammation early and keep it under control.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6–22 - NCT05666921Recruiting
Study thoughts and relationships in teens with body-pain symptoms
This trial studies how emotions and attachment (how people relate to others) may affect teens who have long-lasting body symptoms without an organic cause. It may help explain why symptoms happen and how support strategies could improve quality of life.
Florence, FirenzeAges 11–17 - NCT05671666Recruiting
Testing urea processing in healthy people and urea cycle disorder
This study measures how your body breaks down protein-related waste and makes urea. It includes both healthy volunteers and people with urea cycle disorders, which may help researchers better understand the condition and improve testing.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges Any age - NCT05673499Recruiting
Monitoring oxygen and brain signals during major newborn surgery
This study checks how well newborn babies’ brains are getting oxygen and how brain activity changes while they have certain major surgeries. It may help doctors better monitor brain safety during surgery in newborns with specific conditions.
New York, New YorkAges Up to 1.1 years - NCT05674643Recruiting
Gastric testing during children’s surgery
This trial studies how the stomach is working in children around the time of surgery. It may help improve how doctors assess and manage stomach function to make surgery safer and more comfortable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2–18 - NCT05685368RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Therapy groups to help teens cope with sickle cell
This trial tests a structured talk-therapy program called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for teens and young adults with sickle cell disease. It aims to help you manage tough thoughts and feelings and cope with day-to-day challenges over 6 weekly group sessions.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 14–21 - NCT05702203Recruiting
Music therapy for newborns with congenital heart disease
This trial tests whether creative music therapy can help newborn babies who have congenital heart disease (CHD) while they are in intensive care. It focuses on babies who are otherwise very young and in the NICU or PICU, regardless of CHD severity.
ZurichAges 1 minute–4 weeks - NCT05703347Recruiting
Mobile app coaching to improve sleep and prevent childhood obesity
This study tests a mobile health app that helps children get better sleep, aiming to support healthier weight over time. It is designed for children who are getting less sleep than recommended and are in the higher-but-not-highest weight range for their age.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 8–12 - NCT05731024Recruiting
Closed-loop breathing control vs standard care for kids in ICU
This study compares a computerized “closed-loop” system that helps match breathing support to a child’s needs versus usual (standard) breathing control. It’s for critically ill children on a breathing machine, aiming to improve synchronization between the child and the ventilator.
AydinAges 1 month–18 years - NCT05740254Recruiting
Compare early versus late eating times for teen obesity
This study tests whether having a shorter daily eating schedule earlier in the day works better than a later eating schedule for reducing weight and improving health in teens with obesity. Participants will also follow planned fasting (not eating) periods and complete regular check-ins.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12–21 - NCT05741411Recruiting
Text-and-phone support after concussion for teens
