Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 3–17 - NCT05865301Recruiting
Outcomes after approved immunotherapy for young blood cancer patients
This study looks at the real-world results of treating certain B-cell blood cancers in children and young adults with commercially available immunotherapy. It may help doctors better understand how these treatments work for patients after relapse or when they need additional therapy.
Tucson, ArizonaAges Up to 26 years - NCT05866562RecruitingPhase 2
Dupilumab for hair regrowth in kids with alopecia areata
This trial studies dupilumab (an injection medicine) to help grow hair in children and teens with alopecia areata, an autoimmune hair-loss condition. It aims to see whether the treatment improves hair regrowth compared with usual care over the study period.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 6–17 - NCT05867186Recruiting
Get fit during childhood cancer treatment and aftercare
This trial tests a “fit to fight” program to help children and teens stay active during and after cancer treatment. It aims to support physical and possibly emotional well-being while treatment is happening, based on whether your care team thinks it’s safe and helpful for you.
Mainz, Rhineland-PalatinateAges 3–21 - NCT05879835Recruiting
EDTA lock solution to prevent line blockages in children
This trial tests whether a solution called KiteLock (4% EDTA) put into a special feeding line can help prevent blockages in children who need long-term nutrition through the vein. It may reduce line occlusions (blockages) and the complications they can cause.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 4 weeks–18 years - NCT05880901RecruitingPhase 2
After-school programs for kids from low-income families
This study tests whether participating in after-school and summer programs improves outcomes for children in kindergarten through 4th grade. It mainly focuses on kids attending partner schools and whose families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 5–12 - NCT05888038Recruiting

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,386 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.
