New York, New YorkAges 3 months+ - NCT02055105Recruiting
Study tests a blood test pattern in children with sepsis
This trial studies how a specific pattern in blood (called “molecular fingerprinting”) changes in children with suspected or developing sepsis. The goal is to help doctors better recognize sepsis early and understand how it progresses, which may improve care.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 1–18 - NCT03431064Recruiting
Ultrasound test during surgery to predict fluid needs in children
This study looks at a specific breathing maneuver done while your child is on a ventilator during surgery, and uses ultrasound-related measurements to predict whether they’ll need extra fluids. If it works, it may help doctors give the right amount of fluid and avoid problems from too little or too much.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 17 years - NCT05024929Recruiting
Test targeted drugs to help radioactive iodine reach thyroid cancer
This study looks at whether certain cancer “targeted therapy” medicines can make radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy work better for thyroid cancer that has spread to the lungs. It also involves taking special whole-body scans to measure how much radioactive iodine gets taken up by the cancer.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges birth+ - NCT05078970Recruiting
Teen suicide intervention study for high-risk times
This study tests a suicide intervention approach for teens who are having suicidal thoughts or behaviors and are currently in an emergency or hospital setting. It may help you and your care team better support teens during the most risky period.
Columbus, OhioAges 11–17 - NCT05783323RecruitingPhase 2
Larotrectinib plus radiation for thyroid cancer with NTRK fusion
This Phase 2 trial tests larotrectinib (a targeted medicine) to help radioactive iodine (RAI) work better in people with differentiated thyroid cancer that has an NTRK gene fusion. It may improve how much thyroid cancer the RAI can reach and shrink.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–99 - NCT06045416Recruiting
Borrelia (Lyme) blood test study
This trial is testing a new blood test to help diagnose Lyme disease (borrelia infection) in children. If you are at the emergency room with symptoms that might be Lyme disease and you have a healthy immune system, you might be able to join.
ZurichAges 1 month–17 years - NCT06040619Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hospitalized children?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,199 recruiting hospitalized children 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 hospitalized 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 hospitalized 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.
