Donor-made memory T-cell therapy for hard-to-treat leukemia
This Phase 1 study tests an immune-cell therapy made from a matched donor to treat relapsed or refractory CD19-positive leukemia. It may help patients who have limited options, especially those who cannot receive the standard donor-cell or self-made (autologous) CD19 CAR T-cell therapy.

Study of pegcetacoplan for kids with PNH blood problems
This trial tests pegcetacoplan in children (ages 12–17) with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a condition that can cause ongoing blood cell breakdown. The goal is to see if the medicine can improve anemia related to PNH.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 12–17 - NCT04903223RecruitingPhase 1
Testing how fat in the liver affects statin use in kids
This early study tests whether “liver fat” changes how a statin (rosuvastatin) works in children and teens. It may help doctors choose safer or more effective dosing in kids based on biology and a specific genetics marker.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 8–21 - NCT07697404RecruitingPhase 4
Finding the best dose of ciprofol for children's breathing mask
This study tests a new sedative medicine (ciprofol) to find the best dose for placing a breathing tube mask in children during surgery. It may help your child get a safer, more comfortable experience.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 1–12 - NCT00018057RecruitingPhase 2
Brain study of pediatric anxiety disorders
This study looks at how the brain works in children and adults with anxiety disorders. It uses brain scans (fMRI) and other safe tests to understand anxiety better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–65 - NCT05376267Recruiting
Testing how long cooling lasts after pediatric cardiac arrest
This study tests whether using body cooling for different lengths of time helps children recover better after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It focuses on children who remain very unresponsive after resuscitation and need a breathing tube and steady temperature control.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2 days–17 years - NCT06796543Recruiting
Radiation for young patients with sarcoma that has spread
This trial tests whether targeted radiation can help children and young adults with sarcoma that has spread to a few spots in the body. It's for those who are newly diagnosed (Stratum A) or whose sarcoma has come back or worsened (Stratum B).

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pediatrics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,376 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.
