Oklahoma Children's Clinical Trials Network
The Oklahoma Pediatric Clinical Trials Network
This program brings clinical trials for conditions like asthma, obesity, and developmental health to children and families across Oklahoma so they can take part in medical research.

What this research studies
As a family in Oklahoma, this network helps you access pediatric clinical trials close to home for conditions that affect children. The team links hospitals and clinics across the state and partners with a national pediatric trials network (ISPCTN) to run studies on airway disease, obesity, prenatal and developmental outcomes, and positive child health. They support local investigators, build clinical informatics and trial capacity, and lead or join multicenter trials so more children can enroll. Participation options may include in-person visits at network sites or study activities coordinated through local clinics or telehealth when available.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are children and adolescents (including infants) in Oklahoma with conditions in the network's focus areas—such as airway diseases (e.g., asthma), obesity-related issues, prenatal/perinatal concerns, or developmental conditions—who can attend participating sites or partner clinics.
Not a fit: Children who live outside the network's service area, do not meet specific trial eligibility criteria for a given study, or cannot attend required visits are unlikely to benefit directly from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the network could give Oklahoma children earlier access to new treatments, expert care through trials, and contribute to better statewide child health.
How similar studies have performed: Earlier funding phases successfully built trial capacity in Oklahoma, ranked highly for recruitment within the ISPCTN, and supported trials like the iAmHealthy pediatric obesity feasibility study, so this renewal builds on prior successful efforts.
