Extended-release tacrolimus in stable child liver transplant recipients
This study tests an extended-release version of the anti-rejection drug tacrolimus in children who have already had a stable liver transplant. The goal is to see if the longer-acting capsule works as well as the immediate-release form, potentially simplifying daily medication routines.
ShanghaiAges 6 months–18 years - NCT07551583RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus chemotherapy for early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma in young people
This study tests a combination of a newer immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) with standard chemotherapy (AVD) in children, teens, and young adults with newly diagnosed, early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma—a blood cancer affecting lymph nodes. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy improves outcomes while being tolerable for this age group.
Houston, TexasAges 2–21 - NCT07555080Recruiting
Airway tubes and stomach fullness in children undergoing surgery
This study compares how much air enters the stomach during surgery when using three different breathing tubes in children ages 1–10. The goal is to understand which tube design is safest and causes the least stomach bloating during anesthesia.
IstanbulAges 1–10 - NCT07552766RecruitingPhase 4
Lidocaine infusion to reduce opioid use in arm fracture surgery
This study tests whether giving a pain-relieving medication called lidocaine through an IV during arm fracture surgery can reduce how much opioid pain medication (like morphine) children need after surgery. The goal is to help manage pain better while using fewer opioids.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 3–18 - NCT07556185Recruiting
Testing a home heart health monitoring app for kids
This study tests whether young people with heart conditions can use a home monitoring app called Medly to track their symptoms and weight. The app may help doctors catch problems earlier and keep kids healthier at home.
Toronto, OntarioAges 8–18 - NCT07557576Recruiting
Pain management approaches for children having cleft surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia (with and without opioid painkillers) for children undergoing cleft lip or palate surgery. The goal is to see which approach better controls pain after surgery and reduces agitation as the child wakes up.
ZagrebAges 3 months–7 years - NCT05477589RecruitingPhase 3
Conditioning plan for kids with AML before stem cell transplant
This Phase 3 trial studies the best “conditioning” chemotherapy plan before an allogeneic stem cell transplant for children with AML. It may help improve outcomes by testing an approach for kids who are ready for transplant after relapse or specific high-risk features.
BrusselsAges Up to 18 years - NCT06742528Recruiting
Comparing two iron medicines for children with low iron
This study compares two iron medicines—one a simple iron pill and the other a gentle iron form—to see which works better for children with low iron levels (anemia). If your child has iron deficiency anemia and none of the listed health issues, they may be able to join.
Peshawar, KPKAges 6 months–5 years - NCT07545538Enrolling by invitation
Carbohydrate Drink Before Surgery to Help Kids Recover
This study tests whether drinking a special carbohydrate solution before surgery helps children's bodies handle the stress of the operation better and recover more smoothly. The drink may reduce complications related to blood sugar control after surgery.
Yogyakarta, Special Region of YogyakartaAges 2–16 - NCT06708156RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose atropine drops to slow childhood nearsightedness
This trial tests two low-dose atropine eye drops (0.01% and 0.02%) to see if they can safely slow down the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. Your child would receive either one of these drops or a placebo (an inactive drop) once daily for up to 2 years.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 6–12 - NCT07542769Recruiting
Mindfulness Training Choice for Pediatric Residents
This study helps pediatric doctors-in-training learn mindfulness (a stress-relief technique) while letting them choose how they learn it. Researchers want to see if giving residents control over their learning makes mindfulness more helpful for managing work stress.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT07537062Recruiting
Virtual Reality to Reduce Anxiety During Cancer Chemotherapy in Children
This study tests whether wearing virtual reality headsets can help reduce anxiety and fear in children with cancer who need a spinal injection of chemotherapy (a needle procedure into the spine). The goal is to see if this distraction tool makes the experience less stressful for kids and their families.
KayseriAges 4–10 - NCT07542509Recruiting
Digital sound analysis for newborn heart screening
This study uses digital technology to analyze heart sounds in newborns under 30 days old. The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect heart problems early using sound recordings.
Bologna, BOAges 1 week–4 weeks - NCT05334862Recruiting
8-plate surgery study for pediatric knock-knees after correction
This trial looks at children who have had surgery to correct knock-knees (genu varum) and may still have a remaining twist or shape problem. It tests a specific growth-modifying technique (an 8-plate hemi epiphysiodesis) to help improve bone alignment as the child grows.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pediatrics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,358 recruiting pediatrics 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 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.
