Recruiting studies
- NCT06399861Recruiting
Humidity in incubators for tiny infants
This trial is testing different humidity levels in incubators for very premature babies (born before 25 weeks of pregnancy) to see which level works best. The goal is to improve care for these tiny infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth–1 day - 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 - 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 - 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.
San Antonio, TexasAges 6 months–7 months - NCT06557551Recruiting
Surfactant for preterm babies born before 28 weeks
This trial tests giving surfactant through a thin tube into the windpipe right after birth for babies born before 28 weeks. It aims to help their lungs work better and reduce breathing problems.
Dublin, None SelectedAges Up to 30 minutes - 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 - 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 - NCT07616778Recruiting
Study of Babies Born at 22 Weeks Gestation
This study follows babies born at exactly 22 weeks of pregnancy (very early, before typical viability) who were cared for in a hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand outcomes and care practices for these extremely premature infants.
Middlesbrough, TeesideAges Any age - 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 - NCT07192393Recruiting
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 - NCT06965842Enrolling by invitation
Video training guide for preterm infant development
This trial tests a video system to help guide development for preterm babies. It may help infants born very early or with very low birth weight who also have brain damage.
Seoul, Jongno-guAges Up to 1 month - 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 - 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 - NCT06940713Recruiting
Brain imaging study for newborn infants
This study uses a safe, non-invasive ultrasound technique to measure brain activity in newborn babies. It aims to understand brain development and connectivity in preterm infants, infants with birth-related oxygen deprivation, growth-restricted babies, siblings of children with autism, and healthy full-term babies.
ParisAges Up to 5 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 - 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 - NCT05011149RecruitingPhase 3
Medicine for early treatment of a leaking heart vessel
This trial studies whether giving medicine soon can help preterm babies with a patent ductus arteriosus (a temporary leaking blood vessel in the heart). It aims to see if early treatment improves outcomes for very early gestational age infants.
