Recruiting studies
- NCT04318678RecruitingPhase 1
CD123 CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed leukemia and related cancers
This early-phase study tests a lab-made immune therapy (CD123 CAR T cells) for children and young adults up to age 21 whose cancer has come back or didn’t respond to treatment. The goal is to see if these CAR T cells can find and attack cancer cells that carry a marker called CD123.

CM4620 to lessen pancreatitis after asparaginase
This study tests CM4620 to reduce how severe pancreatitis becomes in children and young people with leukemia/lymphoma who develop pancreatitis after receiving a drug called asparaginase. It aims to improve outcomes by calming the inflammation of the pancreas.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges Up to 21 years - NCT03353584Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain relief during sickle cell pain crises
This trial tests whether a virtual reality (VR) experience can help reduce pain during a sickle cell “vaso-occlusive crisis,” which is an episode of sudden, severe pain. It’s offered alongside the care team’s usual pain management to see if VR makes pain feel better.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 6–25 - NCT03050268Recruiting
Study of childhood cancer risk in families
This study looks at inherited (family) risk for childhood cancers, including families with early cancers or known cancer risk conditions. It may help researchers understand why some children get cancer and improve future risk detection and care.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT03054792Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
MRI test to map low-oxygen areas in childhood sarcomas
This Phase 1 study uses special MRI scans to look at “low-oxygen” parts of a childhood sarcoma. It aims to help doctors better understand the tumor before standard treatment that may include chemotherapy and sometimes radiation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 6–18 - NCT03176836Enrolling by invitation
TP53 mutation imaging study for Li-Fraumeni syndrome
This study takes special body images (MRI) in people from families with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, especially those who carry a TP53 gene mutation. The goal is to see whether MRI can help spot problems earlier in a higher-risk group.
Toronto, OntarioAges Up to 18 years - NCT02720679Recruiting
Study genetics behind blood disorders in children and families
This study looks at genetic (DNA) factors that may contribute to certain blood disorders. You may be invited if you or a close family member is receiving care for a blood condition like MDS or MPN, and the study also includes related relatives.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT02740868RecruitingPhase 2
Breathing MRI using xenon gas to study lungs
This trial uses a special breathing MRI (you breathe a gas mixture) to measure how well your lungs work. It studies healthy kids and people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma, and it may help researchers better understand lung function and flare-ups.
Toronto, OntarioAges 8 years+ - NCT02530658Recruiting
Sequencing children’s tumor and normal tissue samples
This study collects children’s normal and tumor tissue (or blood-related normal samples) and reads their DNA/RNA to look at genetic information. It may help researchers understand cancer-related changes and improve future testing, even when the goal isn’t to treat you directly.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT02098863Recruiting
Research program for people with sickle cell disease on hydroxyurea
This trial program studies sickle cell disease and how treatment works, especially for people who are already taking hydroxyurea at a stable, maximum tolerated dose. It may help researchers better understand treatment effects and side effects in real patients.
Peoria, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT00760656Recruiting
Long-term follow-up study for childhood cancer survivors and friends
This study follows people who were treated for childhood cancer and compares them with similar adults who did not have that childhood cancer. It aims to learn about long-term health and especially walking or mobility issues over time, using check-ins that may include a mobility assessment.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 5 years+ - NCT01120353Recruiting
Childhood cancer survivors study to understand long-term health
This study follows people who survived certain childhood cancers to learn what long-term health effects may happen after treatment. It also compares survivors with siblings to help researchers understand differences that may be related to cancer or treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT00684580Recruiting
St. Jude childhood cancer follow-up data study
This study collects information from children who are currently being treated or followed at St. Jude for childhood cancer. It helps researchers understand care outcomes and improve future planning.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT00700414Recruiting
Family registry for children with adrenal gland tumors
This study is a registry that collects medical information to better understand adrenal gland tumors in children. It may help researchers learn patterns of these tumors and how they relate to family history.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05734261Recruiting
Lung function test in children using metacholine
This trial studies how well a special breathing test (forced oscillations) works during a methacholine challenge in children. It may help doctors better measure breathing sensitivity and guide treatment decisions.
MontpellierAges 6–16 - NCT07403773Recruiting
Home doll vs hospital doll for preschool girls before surgery
This study compares having your child bring her own doll from home versus using a hospital doll to help her feel less anxious before tonsil or adenoid surgery. The goal is to see which doll works better to reduce fear.
Ankara, ÇANKAYAAges 3–7 - NCT06642896Recruiting
Pupil check after medicine for brain swelling in children
This study checks how children’s pupils react after they receive a medicine to lower brain pressure. It aims to see if a quick pupil test can help doctors know if the medicine is working.
Grenoble, ISEREAges 1 month–17 years - NCT04867395Recruiting
Hospital-to-home program for children with complex medical needs
This study tests a “hospital-to-home” transition plan to help children with complex medical needs safely manage care at home after discharge. You may be randomly placed into the program or usual care to see which better supports families.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02446431RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Low-dose cancer medicine for children with sarcoma at high risk
This early-phase study tests a continuous, low-dose (“metronomic”) cancer medicine to help delay cancer coming back in children and young adults with certain sarcomas. You must have finished first-line treatment and currently be in remission, starting the study soon after treatment ends.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 1–31 - NCT06624735Recruiting

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.
