Comparing medicines for calm stitch removal in children after cleft surgery
This study compares three different medicines (ketamine, nalbuphine, and dexmedetomidine) to help keep children calm and comfortable while their stitches are removed after cleft surgery. It may help find the best way to reduce pain and anxiety in young children during this procedure.
LjubljanaAges 6 months–3 years - NCT07340242Recruiting
3D-Printed Braces vs. MARA for jaw alignment
This trial compares two types of braces (a 3D-printed removable brace and a fixed brace called MARA) to see which works better for correcting a bite problem where the lower jaw is too far back. It is designed for teenagers who are still growing and have a large overbite.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 9–14 - NCT07342920Recruiting
Smoking and vaping in adults with cystic fibrosis
This study looks at how many adults with cystic fibrosis smoke or vape (use e-cigarettes). It aims to understand how common these habits are in this group.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07343752Recruiting
Blood flow restriction therapy for teen flat feet
This study tests whether adding a special blood-flow restriction technique to physical therapy helps teenagers with stiff, spasming flat feet more than physical therapy alone. It is for teens whose flat feet didn't get better with initial treatment.

Parenting hopes in women with Turner syndrome
This study looks at women with Turner syndrome who wanted to become parents. It aims to understand what support they received and what happened with their parenting plans.
StrasbourgAges 18–40 - NCT07344714Recruiting
Predicting breathing help needs for newborns in NICUs
This study looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 7 months–9 months - NCT04414046RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant using T-cell cleanup for immune and metabolism disorders
This Phase 2 study tests a specialized stem cell transplant that removes certain “T-cells” (a type of immune cell) to treat children with serious immune system or inherited metabolic problems. The goal is to improve or stabilize disease by resetting the immune system and supporting the body’s function.

Study of mucus plugs and lung function in mucus-related lung disease
This study looks at how mucus plugs affect air flow in the lungs. It may help find new ways to treat people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis, severe asthma, COPD, or bronchiectasis.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18–65 - NCT06446453Recruiting
Lung Ultrasound-Guided Surfactant For Preterm Infants
This study tests whether giving surfactant medication guided by a lung ultrasound, instead of by X-ray, helps preterm babies with breathing problems get better without needing a breathing tube. Babies in the study receive surfactant through a thin tube while still on non-invasive breathing support.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges birth–2 hours - NCT06425796Recruiting

Common questions
- How many genetic & congenital clinical trials are recruiting?
- Clin2 is tracking 3,858 recruiting medical genetics studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 5,795 we cover in this area in total.
- What does “Genetic & congenital” cover here?
- Inherited and congenital conditions present from birth or written into the genes. We group each study into genetic & congenital based on the conditions it studies, so you can scan the whole therapeutic area at once and drill into a specific condition.
- How do I find a genetic & congenital trial near me?
- Use the search to filter genetic & congenital studies by location and eligibility. Every Clin2 trial page explains the criteria in plain English and offers a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read — the study team makes the final decision.
