Compare home versus clinic weight programs for fatty liver
This study compares two weight-loss programs for children with fatty liver disease related to weight, to see which helps the liver and health better. You may be eligible if your child is already enrolled in a lifestyle program for childhood obesity and meets key safety checks.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 8–18 - NCT05312827Recruiting

Chicoutimi, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05384288Recruiting
How kids with blood cancers respond to the flu vaccine
This study looks at how children with blood cancers respond to the seasonal flu shot. It may help doctors understand what protection the vaccine provides for pediatric oncology patients.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 18 years - NCT05451979Recruiting
Exercise training at home for kids after heart transplant
This trial tests a home-based, short bursts exercise program (HIIT using the MedBIKE™ system) for children who had a heart transplant at least 6 months ago. It may help improve fitness and safety after transplant, while checking which kids can participate without heart rhythm or symptom problems.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 10–18 - NCT05459935Recruiting
Light treatment for enlarged tonsils in children
This trial studies whether a light-based treatment (called photobiomodulation) can help children with very enlarged tonsils. It may improve breathing and sleep symptoms, and you’d have before-and-after checkups, including sleep testing.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 6–12 - NCT05472844Recruiting
Study of cataracts in children under 18
This is a research study that follows children with cataracts to learn more about the condition. If your child is under 18 and has a cataract in one or both eyes, this study may be able to include them.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Up to 18 years - NCT05557331Recruiting
Mobile app to reduce pediatric treatment wait times
This trial tests whether a mobile app can help speed up pediatric emergency care by reducing treatment “TAT,” meaning the time from ordering to starting treatment. It focuses on staff and trainees in pediatric emergency departments.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT05564026Recruiting
Study of DNA patterns in childhood germ cell tumors
This study looks at “molecular” (DNA-related) features of germ cell tumors in children and teens. It also follows patients over time, which can help researchers understand tumor patterns and improve future care.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT05592132Recruiting
Virtual reality to help children handle cancer treatment pain
This trial studies whether virtual reality can reduce pain and discomfort during painful medical procedures for children getting care for benign (non-cancerous) tumors or cancer. It may help make treatments feel easier for you and your child during procedures.
Saint-DenisAges 6–18 - NCT05608668Recruiting
Breathing and activity coaching for kids with obesity and mild asthma
This trial tests an “inspiratory pulmonary rehabilitation” program—guided breathing and exercise training—for children who have obesity and mild asthma. It may help improve breathing control and exercise ability by teaching safe, structured breathing and activity habits.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 8–17 - NCT05745714RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted triple-combination treatment for children with relapsed blood cancers
This Phase 1/2 study tests a multi-drug combination (ruxolitinib, venetoclax, dexamethasone, plus chemotherapy) for children whose blood cancer has come back or did not respond. It aims to reduce the cancer by targeting specific genetic changes and may offer a new option when standard treatments have not worked.
ViennaAges 1–21 - NCT05751044RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of four medicines for children with difficult blood cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of medicines (dasatinib, venetoclax, dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide, and cytarabine) in children and teens whose blood cancer has come back or did not respond to treatment. It aims to see whether this approach can control the cancer while checking what doses are safe.

- 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.
