Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06902077Recruiting
Low-carb diet for teens with type 2 diabetes
This trial tests if a low-carb diet helps teens with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar. It may lead to better control without needing insulin.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12–18 - NCT05566431Recruiting
Check monitoring for high brain pressure after child head injury
This study looks at a way of measuring and responding to high pressure inside the brain in children after a non-penetrating head injury. It may help doctors decide which monitoring approach works best for children who are very sick right after injury or become worse quickly.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 1–12 - NCT06885073Recruiting
A new way to check vein pressure in children without needles
This trial tests a new way to measure pressure inside a major vein in the chest without needing to stick any needles. It might be an option for children and young adults up to age 21 who already have a central line or are getting a heart catheter.

Hefei, AnhuiAges 1–18 - NCT06890143RecruitingPhase 3
Dapagliflozin for kids with genetic kidney disease and protein in urine
This trial tests if dapagliflozin, a medication that lowers blood sugar and protects the kidneys, can reduce protein in the urine of children with inherited kidney disease. It may help preserve kidney function when added to standard blood pressure medication.

Liver health study for children & young adults with Down syndrome
This study looks at how eating patterns and body composition relate to fatty liver in children and young adults with Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) or other genetic intellectual disabilities. It may help understand who is at risk and how to prevent liver problems.
Madrid, MadridAges 5–22 - NCT06885801Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
New Nasal Device for Kids Having Cleft Lip Surgery
This trial tests a new nasal conformer (a small device placed in the nose after surgery) to see if it helps children who are having cleft lip repair or surgery to release nasal scarring. It may improve healing and nose shape.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,359 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.
