Houston, TexasAges birth–18 years - NCT02368041Recruiting
Near-infrared scan test in children with heart failure
This study tests whether a near-infrared “light scan” on the hand can help doctors in children with heart failure who are stable on their usual medications. It may give additional information about blood flow and circulation in the body without using invasive procedures.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Up to 25 years - NCT02157025Recruiting
Better vision test for kids with glaucoma concerns
This study tries a more engaging way to test children’s vision using a visual field exam, to make the results more reliable. It may help your child practice the test better over two visits and give the clinic more dependable information.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges 5–8 - NCT02249923Recruiting
Children with pulmonary hypertension registry in Spanish or English
This registry study collects information from children and families affected by pulmonary hypertension to better understand the condition. It may help researchers track outcomes over time and improve future care.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1 day–21 years - NCT02496468Recruiting
Study for children with wheezing or asthma symptoms
This study follows children with wheezing (in younger kids) or doctor-diagnosed asthma (in older kids). It aims to better understand asthma and related breathing problems and how they develop over time.
CologneAges 6 months–18 years - NCT02912143Recruiting
Hemophilia pediatric research registry database
This trial is a research registry that enrolls children with hemophilia A or B to collect health information. It may help researchers better understand bleeding risk and treatment needs over time.
Frankfurt am Main, HesseAges Up to 18 years - NCT02378805Recruiting
Alport syndrome registry to help delay kidney failure
This is a registry that collects information from people with Alport syndrome to better understand the disease and how to delay kidney failure. It may help researchers learn which factors and treatments are most important over time.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges Any age - NCT02508038RecruitingPhase 1
Test CD19+ depleted donor transplant for hard childhood cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a special type of half-matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant plus medicines, aiming to reduce cancer relapse after transplant. It may help children and teens with certain leukemia/lymphoma or specific solid tumors who do not have a fully matched donor or whose best options are limited.
Madison, WisconsinAges 7 months–21 years - NCT02708134Recruiting
Study of CPR quality in children and young adults
This trial looks at how well CPR (chest compressions) is done during an emergency resuscitation in children and young adults. The goal is to understand what helps improve care during life-saving resuscitation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–18 years - NCT02890641Recruiting
Study of brain signals and genes in hard-to-treat epilepsy
This study looks at genetic factors and brain electrical activity in children whose seizures are difficult to control with standard medicines. It also involves exams like MRI and possibly procedures under anesthesia, to better understand seizure causes and help future care.
ParisAges 3 months–25 years - NCT02917460Recruiting
Join a children’s genomic sample and data library
This study collects and stores DNA samples and related health information from people of all ages. It helps researchers understand childhood diseases better and may support future discoveries and treatments.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03325946Recruiting
Neuromotor research clinic for people with movement problems
This study is looking at people who have difficulties with movement or muscle control (neuromotor impairment). It may help researchers better understand these problems and improve future care.
Roanoke, VirginiaAges 3 months–18 years - NCT03178630Recruiting
MRI scans to track outcomes in children with autoimmune liver disease
This study uses MRI scans to find “biomarkers,” or imaging clues, that may help predict how autoimmune liver conditions will progress in children and young adults. If you qualify, you may get MRI imaging to see whether it relates to future health outcomes.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 6–23 - NCT03354728RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vaccine trial for children with CMV after stem cell transplant
This trial studies a vaccine designed to help the body fight cytomegalovirus (CMV) in children who test positive for CMV and are about to receive a donor stem cell transplant. If it works, it may reduce CMV-related illness during recovery after transplant.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 1–21 - NCT04085887RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Uses a targeted dye to help find brain tumors during surgery
This early-stage trial tests whether an injected medicine with a glowing dye (panitumumab-IRDye800) can help doctors better see pediatric brain tumors during planned surgery. If it works, it may help surgeons remove more tumor tissue safely.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 6 months–25 years - NCT07675798Recruiting
Caudal block for reducing fistula after hypospadias repair
This study tests whether a numbing injection into the lower back (caudal block) reduces the risk of a leak or fistula after hypospadias repair surgery in young boys. It may help your child have fewer complications and a smoother recovery.
Diyarbakır, Eyalet/YerleşkeAges 6 months–5 years - NCT02352116Recruiting
Pain treatment plan after outpatient surgery for young children
This study tests a pain-management plan right after surgery for children ages 1–6 who go home the same day. It aims to see whether the plan improves comfort after anesthesia without requiring longer hospital recovery.
New York, New YorkAges 1–6 - NCT02137668RecruitingPhase 1
Testing vancomycin for certain pediatric bile duct conditions
This early-phase study tests whether the antibiotic vancomycin can help children with primary sclerosing cholangitis or biliary atresia, and related gut/bile duct problems. It may work by changing gut bacteria, but you would need to avoid certain medicines beforehand.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 2 weeks–40 years - NCT02610855Enrolling by invitation
Study of activity and muscle function in children with scoliosis
This study looks at how children’s activity levels and muscle performance change in different scoliosis treatments (surgery, bracing, or healthy peers). It uses motion sensors and an ultrasound-based test to better understand what treatments may do to the body’s muscles.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 9–16 - NCT02051062Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Blood-plasma study of botulism antitoxin in children
This trial studies how a botulism antitoxin (called BAT, heptavalent) moves through the body in children. It may help doctors better choose doses and timing for pediatric treatment by learning from blood samples after the first dose.
Ages 1 day–11 years - NCT00616317Recruiting
Study for children with antiphospholipid syndrome and blood clots
This study is for children who have antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and a history of blood vessel clots. Researchers want to learn more about APS in pediatric patients who have specific blood test signs and clot history.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,375 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.
