New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05246579Recruiting
Tracking ways to prevent preterm birth
This study looks at different care pathways to help lower the risk of preterm birth (birth too early). It will follow pregnant people with a singleton pregnancy to see which approaches may work best for preventing early delivery.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–45 - NCT05114096RecruitingPhase 4
One-time steroid shot to help babies stay healthier early
This trial studies whether giving a single steroid medicine shot during pregnancy can improve outcomes when preterm birth is at risk. The goal is to help the baby’s lungs and overall health before early delivery.
