Powered by specialized research facilities, leading-edge diagnostic technologies, and the most advanced data science capabilities, researchers at Texas Children's drive discoveries that enhance care and improve lives.
Understanding Clinical Research
"Clinical research" is a study that involves human volunteers with the goal of answering specific health questions to help doctors and scientists learn how to better diagnose, prevent, and treat diseases. Learn what to expect if your child joins one of our clinical studies.
Find a Clinical Trial
Finding the right clinical study for your child can feel overwhelming. Our Clinical Studies Finder makes the process easier, allowing you to narrow your search by your child’s age, gender, condition, and other criteria.
Helping patients around the world
At Texas Children’s, we provide care for patients from more than 70 countries—and counting. We understand that patients outside the United States face unique challenges in accessing clinical trials—from navigating enrollment requirements to coordinating travel, logistics, and care across borders. We're here to help. Our International and Destination Medicine team works closely with families every step of the way, making sure that distance doesn't stand between your child and the care they need.
