Recruiting studies
- NCT02530658Recruiting
Sequencing children’s tumor and normal tissue samples
This study collects children’s normal and tumor tissue (or blood-related normal samples) and reads their DNA/RNA to look at genetic information. It may help researchers understand cancer-related changes and improve future testing, even when the goal isn’t to treat you directly.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT02559778RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for children with high-risk neuroblastoma, a type of nerve tissue cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by tailoring therapy based on each child's tumor characteristics and response to prior treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 22 years - NCT02333825Enrolling by invitation
Study of first-time kneecap dislocation in youth
This study focuses on children and teens (25 or younger) who have had only one kneecap (patella) dislocation episode. It’s testing an approach for stabilizing the knee, aiming to help prevent future instability and improve outcomes for first-time dislocators.
Ages 8–25 - NCT02432092Recruiting
Genetic testing for heart muscle disease in children and families
This study looks at genetic (DNA) changes that may cause cardiomyopathy, a disease where the heart muscle is weakened. It may help families understand possible causes and inform future care.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT02332668RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pembrolizumab for children with advanced, hard-to-treat cancer
This trial tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy that helps the body recognize and attack cancer) in children with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma that can’t be cured. It’s designed for kids who have already tried standard treatments or don’t have standard treatment options.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 6 months–17 years - 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 - NCT01893710Recruiting
Collecting children and adult belly fluid and tissue for kidney care research
This study collects samples from the belly (related to the peritoneal lining) to build a “biobank” for future research. It may help patients and families by improving understanding of kidney disease and kidney dialysis-related health issues.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 day–90 years - NCT00700414Recruiting
Family registry for children with adrenal gland tumors
This study is a registry that collects medical information to better understand adrenal gland tumors in children. It may help researchers learn patterns of these tumors and how they relate to family history.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT00670735Recruiting
Research registry collecting data on hydrocephalus treatment
This study collects information about people with hydrocephalus when they have certain brain fluid (CSF) procedures. The goal is to better understand different patient groups and treatments across multiple centers.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 18 years - NCT00870064Recruiting
Study of treating small open bone breaks in children
This study looks at how to treat certain small open fractures (where a bone has broken through the skin) in children using non-surgical realignment when possible. It may help doctors confirm the best early treatment approach for less severe injuries.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 3–14 - NCT00001186Recruiting
Camping for children and teens with cancer
This study looks at whether a special camp experience helps children and young adults with cancer feel better emotionally and socially. Campers participate in normal camp activities while receiving any medical care they need.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–25 - 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 - NCT01109394Recruiting
Help study tumors with sample testing and a research biology library
This study collects tumor (or related) samples to analyze their genes and build a shared research “biobank.” It may help researchers understand cancers better for future diagnosis and treatments.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 4 weeks+ - NCT00025935Recruiting
Brain function study in children with mood problems
This study looks at how the brain works and how mood disorders change over time in children and teens with severe irritability, anger, and temper outbursts. It includes brain scans and regular check-ins to understand the illness better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–85

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.
