Toronto, OntarioAges 18–49 - NCT04764357Recruiting
Scalp cooling to help prevent chemotherapy-related hair loss in kids
This study looks at whether “cold cap” scalp cooling can help prevent or reduce hair loss in children getting chemotherapy. It’s aimed at kids treated with certain chemotherapy medicines and who may be at risk for losing their hair.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 7 years+ - NCT04881240RecruitingPhase 1
Donor-made memory T-cell therapy for hard-to-treat leukemia
This Phase 1 study tests an immune-cell therapy made from a matched donor to treat relapsed or refractory CD19-positive leukemia. It may help patients who have limited options, especially those who cannot receive the standard donor-cell or self-made (autologous) CD19 CAR T-cell therapy.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 21 years - NCT04897321RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T therapy for children with B7-H3 solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a lab-made immune therapy (CAR T cells) made from your own cells to treat children’s solid tumors that have a specific marker called B7-H3. It is designed for kids whose cancer has come back or did not respond to standard treatment, aiming to shrink tumors and keep the therapy safe.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 21 years - NCT04901702RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Onivyde plus talazoparib or temozolomide for resistant solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding Onivyde to either talazoparib or temozolomide can shrink or control hard-to-treat (refractory or recurring) cancers in children and young adults. It aims to find safer dosing first, then look at how well the treatment works—especially for Ewing sarcoma.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT04903223RecruitingPhase 1
Testing how fat in the liver affects statin use in kids
This early study tests whether “liver fat” changes how a statin (rosuvastatin) works in children and teens. It may help doctors choose safer or more effective dosing in kids based on biology and a specific genetics marker.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 8–21 - NCT04929899Recruiting
Test of a learning tool during leukemia maintenance
This study checks whether a tablet-based tool (called PeNAT) can be used by children during the usual maintenance treatment phase for ALL (a type of leukemia). It may help families and clinicians better support care at home or during follow-up by testing how well the tool works in real patients.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 4–18 - NCT07071116Recruiting
Communication skills training for rehab teams at St. Jude
This trial offers communication skills training (CST) for rehab professionals who care for children with cancer. The goal is to improve how you talk with patients and families.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT07314736Recruiting
Study on values and ethics for ultra-rare diseases
This study aims to understand the perspectives of parents, caregivers, family members, and professionals involved with children who have ultra-rare genetic disorders. It uses interviews or focus groups to explore ethical and value-based questions.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT04968990RecruitingPhase 2
New Wilms tumor treated with proton beam abdominal radiation
This trial studies a specific type of radiation (proton beam) given to the abdomen after surgery and/or chemotherapy in children and young people with newly diagnosed Wilms tumor. The goal is to improve cancer control while carefully targeting radiation to the right stage of disease.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT05225311Recruiting

Using an app to help teens cope with post-surgery pain
This trial tests whether a phone app (iCanCope) can help teens better manage pain after surgery for scoliosis or certain chest conditions (pectus carinatum/excavatum). If you’re having one of these surgeries soon, the app may help with coping and day-to-day comfort after the operation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12–18 - NCT05384288Recruiting
