Recruiting studies
- NCT03541785Enrolling by invitation
Using NGAL to guide fluids and start kidney-filtering in children
This study tests whether measuring a urine protein called NGAL can help doctors choose the right fluid amount and decide when to start a kidney-filtering treatment called CRRT in critically ill children with kidney injury. If it works, it may help treat kidney problems sooner and more safely.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 months–25 years - NCT07210476Recruiting
Sleep screening tool for children with chronic conditions
This study tests a Turkish version of a sleep screening tool for children (ages 1 month to 18 years) with complex chronic conditions who were in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to help doctors assess sleep problems more easily.
IstanbulAges 1 month–18 years - NCT02456974Recruiting
Testing how antibiotics are dosed in children’s intensive care
This study looks at whether giving common antibiotics in certain dose schedules (either through a drip over time or continuously) is done in a way that fits pediatric intensive care needs. It may help improve antibiotic treatment for children who are very sick and need antibiotics.
GhentAges 1 day–16 years - NCT06721923Recruiting
Comparing protein delivery methods in critically ill children
This study looks at whether giving protein continuously or all at once is better for children in intensive care. The goal is to find the most effective way to support recovery.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 1–11 - NCT06809868Recruiting
Study of genetic elements in sepsis and aging
This trial looks at how certain genetic elements may affect the immune system in older adults with sepsis. It aims to understand why older patients may respond differently to severe infections.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06938542Enrolling by invitation
Palliative care needs for kids with rare diseases
This study asks children with rare diseases and their families about what kind of palliative care (comfort and support) they need. It aims to understand how to better help families through their child's illness.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–99 - NCT06465121Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided IV placement for children with difficult veins
This trial tests whether using ultrasound to guide IV placement helps children who are known to have hard-to-find veins. It aims to make the process quicker and less painful.
ReimsAges 1 month–18 years - NCT06697808Recruiting
Using Ultrasound to Detect Brain Issues in Children
This trial tests if a portable ultrasound can spot brain problems in children needing a head CT in the emergency room or ICU. If effective, it could offer a faster, radiation-free way to check for issues.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges Up to 18 years - NCT04201704Recruiting
Less IV fluids for children after trauma
This trial studies whether giving children less fluid through a vein after serious injury helps them recover safely. Children are enrolled soon after arrival to the ICU so the team can compare outcomes between different fluid amounts.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 6 months–15 years

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pediatric intensive care unit?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 33 recruiting pediatric intensive care unit 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 intensive care unit 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 intensive care unit 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.
