Understanding Taste and Eating During Cancer Treatment in Kids
This study looks at how cancer treatment affects how children taste food and eat. Researchers will test your child's ability to taste and smell, and ask about eating habits, to help doctors better support kids during cancer care.
LyonAges 7–17 - NCT06547762Enrolling by invitation
Hybrid rehab for kids with physical disabilities
This trial tests a hybrid approach to rehabilitation for children with physical disabilities, combining in-person and technology-based care. If your child gets outpatient therapy more than once a week and can follow instructions with your help using a computer, this might be a good fit.
JerusalemAges 3–21 - NCT06274788Recruiting
Safety study of long-term Omegaven for liver problems from IV nutrition
This study checks if children who need Omegaven for eight weeks or longer develop a lack of essential fats. It is for kids with liver issues caused by IV nutrition who cannot eat or digest food normally.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 1 day–17 years - NCT06877117Enrolling by invitation
Rectangular collimation study for kid's dentists
This trial tests a new way to focus x-rays (called rectangular collimation) in dental care for children. It may help reduce radiation exposure while still getting clear images.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06812091Recruiting
Study on microbiome in children
This study explores the role of the microbiome (the community of bacteria in our bodies) in children's health. It aims to develop new treatments for pediatric diseases.
SeoulAges Any age - NCT06657534Recruiting
Push-pull blood draw through central lines in children
This trial tests if using a push-pull method to collect blood from a central line (a special IV) causes less red blood cell damage and blood loss in hospitalized children compared to the standard method.
GhentAges birth–18 years - NCT07489378Recruiting
Rare cancer registry for children and young adults
This trial is creating a registry for very rare solid tumors in people up to age 39. Joining helps doctors learn more about these cancers and may connect you with future research opportunities.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–120 years - NCT07455396RecruitingPhase 2
Dexamethasone vs methylprednisolone for children with severe asthma
This trial compares two steroids, dexamethasone and methylprednisolone, to see which works better for children in the intensive care unit with severe asthma. The goal is to find the best treatment with fewer side effects.

Testing a monitor to measure heart output in sick children
This study checks whether a bedside “metabolic monitor” can accurately measure how well the heart is pumping (heart output) in children in the intensive care unit. It may help clinicians better understand and manage circulation using measurement methods during critical care.
MontpellierAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT05052216Recruiting
Wearable monitor study for kids’ sleep apnea

- How do I know if I qualify for a pediatrics 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 pediatrics 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.
