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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 21 years - 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 - NCT07030855Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Herbal syrup for acute bronchitis in children
This study tests a herbal syrup (Elixirium Thymi Compositum) to see if it helps children aged 6 to 17 with acute bronchitis (a short-term chest infection) feel better. It may be an option if your child has a moderate cough and no other major health issues.

Comparing ways to involve people in pediatric, cancer, and serious illness research
This study compares two different methods for including patients, families, and clinicians in qualitative research about pediatric mental health, cancer screening, or serious illness. You can help by sharing your experiences and perspectives.
Hanover, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07420101Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pediatric cancer patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 172 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.
