Impact of early birth and NEC on family life and finances
This study looks at how having a very early baby (before 30 weeks) and a serious bowel problem called NEC affects your family's quality of life and finances. Parents will share their experiences through surveys.
Norwich, NorfolkAges Up to 7 months - NCT06027645Recruiting
Crawling therapy for very premature infants
This trial tests if early crawling practice on a special skate can help very premature babies at risk for developmental problems. It aims to improve their movement and brain development.
ParisAges 9 months–10 months - NCT05685745Recruiting
Hospital data collection for very early baby care
This study collects information from hospitals about babies born extremely early (22 to 23 weeks of pregnancy). It helps researchers understand what care happens and what outcomes occur, which can guide improvements in future care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth–1 year - NCT06657729Recruiting
Feeding skills in very premature babies
This study looks at how very premature babies (born before 29 weeks) learn to feed by mouth. It may help doctors understand and support feeding development better.
LyonAges Up to 5 months - NCT04114435Recruiting
Heart and lung testing in extremely premature babies
This study looks at how the hearts and lungs work in babies born very early (before 29 weeks). It may help researchers understand why some babies develop breathing and heart circulation problems and how to measure their recovery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 1 week–5 years - NCT05340582RecruitingPhase 2
Ibuprofen plus acetaminophen for a heart condition in very premature babies
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving ibuprofen together with acetaminophen improves outcomes for an important heart connection (PDA) in extremely premature infants. It compares how this medicine approach affects the baby’s heart-related measurements and short-term progress.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges Up to 6 months - NCT06399861Recruiting
Humidity in incubators for very premature babies
This study looks at how different humidity levels in incubators affect very premature babies born before 25 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to find the best conditions to help their delicate skin and overall health.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth–1 day - NCT06458114Recruiting
Feelings of caregivers after palliative care for extremely preterm babies
This study asks caregivers about their feelings after providing palliative care to extremely preterm babies in the delivery room. It aims to understand their experiences to improve support for caregivers.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT04294368Recruiting
Fortifying donor breast milk for very premature babies
This study tests whether adding extra nutrition (fortifying) to donated breast milk helps very premature infants grow better and safely. You might be offered a fortified donor milk feeding plan if your baby meets the timing and medical criteria.
New York, New YorkAges 1 day–3 weeks - NCT05347238Recruiting
Dopamine or norepinephrine for low blood pressure in very preterm babies
This trial compares two common medicines—dopamine versus norepinephrine—to treat low blood pressure in very preterm babies who have suspected or confirmed late-onset bloodstream infection (sepsis). It may help doctors find which medicine works better and more safely for this specific situation.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 5 months–7 months - NCT06064825Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for TREOCAPA study children
This study is a long-term check-up for children who were in the TREOCAPA trial. It follows their health and development for about 2 years after they were in the original study.
AngersAges 1.9 years–2.3 years - NCT06512935Recruiting
Ventilator study for preterm infants with lung recovery
This study tests a new way of setting the ventilator for preterm babies born before 34 weeks who are still on a breathing machine. It aims to improve lung healing and heart function by finding the best pressure settings. The results could help your baby breathe more comfortably.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 week–4 weeks - NCT06849596Recruiting
Breathing help for extremely premature babies at birth
This study compares two ways to help extremely premature babies breathe right after birth: using a manual T-piece or a ventilator. The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT06857539Recruiting
Assessing thinking and movement in high-risk infants
This study looks at how high-risk infants (especially those born early or with brain concerns) develop their thinking and movement skills over time, comparing them to healthy babies. The goal is to better understand and support their development.
CorkAges birth–4 months - NCT07552025Recruiting
Sound monitoring to detect breathing problems in very premature babies
This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
Montreal, QuebecAges Up to 7 months - NCT03819933Recruiting
Family counseling support for very early preterm birth
This trial studies a better way to provide counseling to families when a baby is expected to be born very early (between about 22 and 25 weeks). It may help you and your partner feel more prepared for the NICU and what to expect next.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–99 - NCT06555315Recruiting

San Antonio, TexasAges 6 months–7 months - NCT06726226Recruiting
Extremely preterm infant lung health study
This study follows the breathing and lung health of very early preterm babies (born before 29 weeks) for two years. It helps doctors understand and improve long-term respiratory care for these tiny infants.
SeoulAges Up to 1 week - NCT05011149RecruitingPhase 3
Medicine for early treatment of a leaking heart vessel
