Developmental Delays clinical trials are recruiting across 15 cities. Here are the cities with the most active studies:
Developmental Delays Trial Phases
7 research organizations are sponsoring developmental delays trials.
About Developmental Delays
Developmental delays occur when children do not reach developmental milestones at the expected times in areas like motor skills, speech, cognition, and social skills. Early intervention is critical for optimal outcomes. Treatment includes speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and specialized education.
Clinical trials are advancing new treatments for developmental delays. Currently, 7 studies are recruiting a combined 8,481 participants across the United States. Research is being conducted by 7 organizations including Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc., Northwestern University, Richard Frye and 4 others.
2026 Developmental Delays Research Landscape
As of July 2026, the developmental delays clinical trial landscape includes 7 actively recruiting studies across 15 cities in the United States. These studies are collectively seeking 8,481 participants, with an average enrollment target of 1,212 per study.
The research spans multiple phases of development: 2 studies are in PHASE3, 1 study is in NA, 1 study is in PHASE4. The presence of Phase 3 trials indicates that some developmental delays treatments are in late-stage testing and may be approaching regulatory review.
Research is being led by 7 different organizations, including Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc., Northwestern University, Richard Frye, Columbia University, GRIN Therapeutics, Inc., and 2 others.

Reducing Missed Appointments
There are four goals of this project: (1) To examine the impact of different appointment reminder messages on appointment attendance; (2) to determine the added benefit of a patient navigator reaching out in advance of appointments to families at elevated risk of missing their appointment, and determine the most common barriers families face in appointment attendance; (3) to evaluate which patient...
Empower EI: Comparing Early Intervention Approaches to Improve Communication in Toddlers With Developmental Delays
This study is testing three ways to deliver Early Intervention (EI) services for toddlers with developmental disabilities (DD). Children enrolled in EI speech therapy will receive one of three approaches: 1. Therapist Delivered EI: For 28 weeks, the child's speech therapist will work directly with the child to support their communication. 2. Caregiver Coaching EI: For 28 weeks, the child's speec...
Patterns of Neurodevelopmental Disorders
The purpose of this study is to systematically evaluate the results of medical investigations to identify symptom and biological patterns and common etiologies of neurodevelopmental disorders.
