PET-MRI scan to study low-grade brain tumors in children
This early-phase study tests how well a special PET-MRI scan (using a radioactive tracer) can find and measure low-grade brain tumors. It may help doctors better track these tumors while you start or continue treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–21 - NCT05580601RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
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+ - NCT03761121Recruiting
Imaging study for low-grade glioma in children and adults
This study is testing how to take faster, better brain images in people diagnosed with low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor). Better imaging may help doctors see the tumor more clearly while reducing time spent in the scanner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth+ - NCT04166526Recruiting
Brain and brain-vessel MRI study in kids with sickle cell
This study uses MRI scans to understand how the brain and blood vessels are affected in children with sickle cell disease, including before and after certain treatments. It also includes healthy children for comparison and may help improve future monitoring and care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–18 - NCT02297724Recruiting
MRI checks placental health in twin or single growth restriction
This trial uses an MRI scan to look at placental health in pregnancies where the baby (or one twin) is not growing as expected. The goal is to better understand placental problems and how they may affect baby growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT04770519Recruiting
Family genetic study for eye misalignment and nystagmus
This study looks at genetics in families where eye misalignment (strabismus) and/or constant eye shaking (nystagmus) runs. It may help researchers understand the causes and guide future testing or treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05539378Enrolling by invitation
Study how sleep affects the brain’s self-cleaning process
This study looks at whether improving or tracking sleep changes how the brain “clears” waste. It may help researchers understand sleep’s role in brain health and how to support it.
ZurichAges 50–80 - NCT05538208RecruitingPhase 2
Children with lupus kidney inflammation using mycophenolate
This Phase 2 study tests how well the medicine mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) works for children and teens with lupus nephritis that is “proliferative” (a specific biopsy type). You may qualify if your kidney biopsy and current treatment match the study’s targets and you can follow frequent visits and testing.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 8–20 - NCT05528744Recruiting
Study genes and symptoms in ANKRD17-related CAGS
This study looks at how a specific gene change in ANKRD17 relates to the symptoms, brain/scan findings, and brain-cells in people with Chopra-Amiel-Gordon syndrome (CAGS). It may help families understand the condition better and connect gene results to what is seen clinically.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT00389142Recruiting
Find genes linked to bladder pain and urinary symptoms
This study looks for genetic (inherited) causes of bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), using information from people who have typical urinary symptoms. It may help doctors understand why IC/BPS happens, which could guide better future care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 year+ - NCT03819933Recruiting
Family counseling support for very early preterm birth
This trial studies a better way to provide counseling to families when a baby is expected to be born very early (between about 22 and 25 weeks). It may help you and your partner feel more prepared for the NICU and what to expect next.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–99 - NCT05485155RecruitingPhase 2
Zemaira trial for adults with eosinophilic esophagus
This Phase 2 study tests Zemaira (an alpha-1 antitrypsin treatment given through an IV) to see if it improves eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in adults. You may be able to help researchers learn whether this treatment can reduce EoE activity when standard treatments haven’t worked.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT05501756RecruitingPhase 2
Dose-tuning alemtuzumab for children before a stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 study looks at the best dose of alemtuzumab (a medicine used before transplant) for children undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for a non-cancer illness. It may help doctors fine-tune dosing to improve how the drug behaves in the body and make future transplant care more precise.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT05455359RecruitingPhase 4
Tube-fed children at high risk for aspiration pneumonia
This Phase 4 study looks at gastrointestinal movement (dysmotility) and how it may increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia in children who eat through a tube and have swallowing safety problems. It may help doctors better prevent lung infections in children who cough/choke and need suction often.

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.
