Study risk of fatty liver in low birth weight adults
This study looks at whether being born with low birth weight is linked to a higher chance of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (fatty liver not caused by heavy drinking). It compares people born with low birth weight to people born with typical birth weight to better understand risk factors.
HerlevAges 34–49 - NCT06555315Recruiting
Iron study for premature babies
This study tests if giving iron every other day works as well as giving it every day for premature babies. It aims to make iron treatment easier for babies and families.

NaplesAges 20–35 - NCT06909929Enrolling by invitation
High-dose IV lipids for very small or early babies
This study tests whether giving a high dose of a special IV fat solution (called lipids) helps very small or very early-born babies grow better. It's for babies weighing under 1500 grams or born before 32 weeks.
Jakarta, Central JakartaAges Up to 7 months - NCT07490912Recruiting
Neonatal data and biobank study for preterm infants
This study collects health information and biological samples from very premature babies to understand what affects their development. It may help researchers find ways to improve care and outcomes for infants like yours.
Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06515574Recruiting
Developmental care for very low birth weight babies
This trial tests whether a special care approach, called developmental care, helps very low birth weight babies (under 1500 grams) who need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if this type of care improves their development and health in the NICU.
Shanghai, Shanghai / 上海Ages birth–4 weeks - NCT06266455Recruiting
Nutrition plan to help preterm babies grow and develop
This study tests whether an individualized nutrition plan based on weekly measurements can help preterm infants grow better and improve brain development compared to standard feeding. It is for babies born very early (32 weeks or less) who receive human milk.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT06781476Recruiting
Urine markers in very premature babies
This study will collect urine from very premature or very low birth weight babies to look for patterns in natural chemicals (biomarkers). The goal is to find early clues about their health that could lead to better care.
Bologna, BolognaAges Any age - NCT06071403Recruiting
Timing of stopping IV nutrition for very low birth weight babies
This study looks at when to stop IV nutrition (parenteral nutrition) for babies born weighing less than 1500 grams (about 3.3 pounds). It tests if stopping IV nutrition earlier or later affects growth and development, and how a growth factor called IGF-1 relates to this. The goal is to help these tiny babies grow better.
Xingtai, HebeiAges Any age - NCT00710112Recruiting
Genetic risk study in very low birth-weight babies
This study looks at genetic differences to understand why some very low birth-weight babies develop certain health problems. It may help doctors predict risk and tailor care for these babies.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Any age - NCT06123143Recruiting
Finding the best time to stop CPAP in very small babies
This study looks at when to safely take very small babies (born before 30 weeks) off breathing support called CPAP. It aims to find the ideal time to help their lungs grow stronger.
Escondido, CaliforniaAges Up to 7 months - NCT06731439Recruiting
Starting feeds on day 1 for very small premature babies
This study is for very premature babies (weighing about 2 pounds or less) to see if starting small feedings on the first day of life helps them reach full feeds sooner. If your baby is very small and otherwise healthy, this option may help them grow faster.

ZurichAges birth–4 weeks - NCT05842850Recruiting
Study of fatty liver in people born with low birth weight
This trial focuses on people who have fatty liver disease (extra fat in the liver) and were born with low birth weight. It aims to test an approach in this specific group, which may help clarify what helps the liver in higher-risk people.
AarhusAges 35–40 - NCT06037083Recruiting
Checking stability after breathing tube removal in tiny preemies
This study looks at how stable extremely premature, very low-weight babies are after their breathing tube is removed for the first time. It aims to understand what helps these tiny infants breathe well on their own.
