Pediatric Clinical Trials and Research Studies
Children and adolescents need treatments specifically developed for them. Childhood and adolescent participation in clinical trials helps develop medicines and treatments that are safe and effective for pediatric patients.

Importance of Pediatric Research Studies
Flourish Research is committed to giving our youngest participants access to the latest therapies and interventions before making them available to the public. Pediatric participation also helps us identify safe and effective treatments that address the unique physical and developmental needs of children and adolescents.
These studies help build a foundation for improved, quality care that will carry pediatric medicine into the future.
Current Pediatric Clinical Studies
We are actively recruiting pediatric volunteers to participate in ongoing research studies at Flourish Research. Our pediatric clinical trials follow the strictest safety guidelines to keep our youngest participants safe. With your help, we contribute to medical advancements in neurodevelopment, vaccinations, and serious childhood diseases.
Pediatric Neurodevelopmental Research
Neurodevelopment focuses on healthy brain development in infants, children, and adolescents. At Flourish Research, we conduct clinical research trials for conditions that may require ongoing care or treatment, including but not limited to:
- Cardiology
- ADHD
- Obesity
Our research considers genetic predispositions and environmental factors as we explore the effectiveness of various treatments, therapies, and management options.
Childhood Obesity Studies
Childhood and adolescent Obesity is a condition that impacts a young person’s physical and mental health as well as their overall well-being. Flourish Research is leading the way in cutting-edge research that examines the risk factors, prevalence, and potential interventions for childhood Obesity. We believe clinical studies could help us gain the upper hand as we combat this condition impacting one in five children and adolescents in the United States.
Pediatric Cardiovascular Research
At Flourish Research, we want to bring major medical improvements in diagnosing and treating heart conditions in children. This requires clinical trials to enhance understanding and explore treatment options with potential long-term health benefits.
We need pediatric and adolescent volunteers with congenital heart defects and those with cardiovascular conditions caused by infections or other health issues, as we seek to improve outcomes for:
- Congenital heart defects
- Pediatric Hypertension or high blood pressure
- Other heart abnormalities
Pediatric Metabolic Research
Understanding metabolic and kidney conditions like Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease helps us develop management strategies and new interventions for pediatric patients.
Pediatric Infectious Diseases Research
Children’s bodies and immune systems differ from those of adults. They often have unique presentations and care needs that require optimized strategies. Clinical studies, including vaccine trials, potentially help young patients fight infectious diseases as we evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatments specifically designed for children.
How to Enroll in Pediatric Clinical Trials
Pediatric clinical research requires special consideration for children and their families. That’s why we make it easy to enroll by following these steps:
1. Registration and Screening
The process begins with an in-depth screening that helps us determine if your child or adolescent meets the criteria for the study. Your family will be given all the clinical trial details, such as treatments and procedures, compensation, and other critical information. We’ll also review your child’s medical history, vitals, and lab work to ensure eligibility.
2. Informed Consent
In a clinical research trial for children, informed consent looks a little different. After reviewing the study specifications, our team will go over our informed consent forms.
3. Ongoing Communication
Every pediatric study has a set time frame for recording data. As families go through the clinical study, they can connect with our research teams to relay relevant information about their child’s experiences. Your child may need to come in for periodic visits, but we will let you know if this is the case during their initial screening.
Child and Adolescent Research Volunteers Needed
We want our clinical trials to reflect the diversity of children and adolescents within our communities. As we learn, we help shape tomorrow’s healthcare landscape. If you want your child to participate in a free clinical research study, browse our current pediatric research trials at a clinic near you.
