Virtual reality during procedures for young blood or cancer patients
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during certain procedures can make them easier for children, teens, and young adults with blood or cancer-related conditions. Participants must be able to safely use a VR headset and be willing to take part.
PoitiersAges 7–24 - NCT07506239Recruiting
Laser therapy for low-grade brain tumors in young people
This trial tests a laser treatment called LITT for low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) that has come back or is growing despite prior treatment. It aims to see if the laser is safe and effective in young people aged 2 to 25.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–25 - NCT04262830Recruiting
Heart scans to predict future heart failure after chemotherapy
This trial uses detailed heart imaging (a special MRI scan) to see how chemotherapy may have affected your heart and to predict who could develop heart failure later. If you qualify, it may help your care team better monitor your heart health over time.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 13–39 - NCT06836492RecruitingPhase 3
Risk-based treatment study for children with rhabdomyosarcoma
This study tests different treatment plans for children with rhabdomyosarcoma based on their individual risk factors. It aims to find the best therapy for each child, potentially improving outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges birth–18 years - NCT07222735RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T cells and radiation for children with sarcoma
This trial tests a combination of targeted radiation and special immune cells (CAR T cells) for children and young adults whose bone or soft tissue sarcoma has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The CAR T cells are made from your own blood cells and are designed to attack a protein called B7-H3 found on the sarcoma cells.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pediatric cancer patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 175 recruiting pediatric cancer patients 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 pediatric cancer patients 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 pediatric cancer patients 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.
