Breast milk cells and infant health in mothers with metabolic conditions
This trial studies how special cells in breast milk from mothers with metabolic diseases (like obesity or diabetes) affect infant development and lung infection response after a nutritional intervention. It aims to understand if improving mother's diet can strengthen baby's immune system.
Málaga, MalagaAges 18–50 - NCT06892483Recruiting
Breast milk changes after one exercise session
This trial looks at how your breast milk changes after you do one exercise session. It compares milk from people who exercise regularly with those who don't, to see if exercise affects milk composition.

This study looks at a new way to assess behavior in toddlers. It is for healthy children between 8 and 36 months old who were born full term and are meeting their developmental milestones.
Columbus, OhioAges 4 months–3 years - NCT05144035RecruitingPhase 4
Early growth-hormone treatment for small baby’s brain development
This study tests whether starting a growth hormone treatment early helps a baby’s thinking and learning development. It is for babies who are small for their gestational age and show delays on a developmental screening test.
Wuhan, WuhanAges 6 months–2 years - NCT06631937Recruiting
How infant feeding affects gut health and immunity
This study looks at how different feeding methods (like breast milk or formula) affect the development of healthy bacteria in a baby's gut and their immune system. It may help us understand what helps babies stay healthy.
AarhusAges birth–4 weeks - NCT06143254Recruiting
Infant sign training for speech development
This trial tests whether teaching infants with cleft palate simple signs can help them communicate before they can speak. It may support their speech and language development.
Ghent, East FlandersAges 1–2 - NCT05861531Recruiting
Oral stimulation and language support for preterm feeding
This study tests whether a feeding-focused therapy that includes mouth stimulation and language support helps preterm babies feed more effectively. It may be most helpful for babies born very early who are learning to feed safely and comfortably.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 5 months–7 months - NCT06208085Recruiting
Avocado, breast milk nutrients, and baby brain development
This study looks at how eating avocados affects the nutrients in your breast milk and your baby's brain development. If you are healthy, breastfeeding exclusively, and plan to continue for 6 months, you may be able to join.
Kannapolis, North CarolinaAges 18–40 - NCT07101640RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Montelukast study for breathing problems in premature infants
This trial tests if the medicine montelukast can help very premature babies on breathing machines. It aims to see if it improves lung development and makes it easier for them to breathe on their own.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 1 week–4 weeks - NCT07115108Recruiting
High-energy feeding for growth and brain development in infants with heart disease
This study tests a special high-energy formula for babies with congenital heart disease who are at nutritional risk. It aims to see if this feeding helps them grow and develop better before and after heart surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges birth–6 months - NCT05463120Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up study of early growth and puberty timing
This study follows families from an earlier infant feeding study to better understand what affects when puberty starts. It looks at growth and hormone-related health information to explain differences in pubertal development.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–100 - NCT04685356Recruiting
Testing IBAIP for brain development in very preterm babies
This study looks at whether the IBAIP program can improve neurodevelopment (how the brain grows and works) in babies born very early. Babies are included only if they have a normal early neurological exam after being “corrected for prematurity.”
AngersAges 6 months–7 months - NCT04911452Recruiting
Calmer NICU care for very preterm babies
This study tests a calmer approach in the NICU to help very preterm babies grow and develop their brains. It may be helpful if your baby needs breathing support and is in the early weeks of life.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT05005897RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Micronutrient supplements for early infant growth and development
This study tests whether early infant nutrition using specific micronutrients (small amounts of key vitamins and nutrients) can support healthy growth and development. It includes babies whose moms plan to breastfeed for long enough, and it excludes infants with serious health problems.
LillehammerAges 1 month–2 months - NCT05017389Recruiting
Long-term health follow-up for premature newborns
This study follows babies born early (premature) over the long term to learn how they grow and develop. It mainly helps doctors understand long-term health needs after early birth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 2 weeks–4 months - NCT06234332Recruiting
Peking University Birth Cohort in Weifang
This study follows pregnant women and their families in Weifang to learn about health during pregnancy, birth, and early childhood. If you join, you, your husband, and your baby will be part of a long-term research project that tracks your health and development.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06521918Recruiting
Remote motor screening for infants using app and AI
This study tests whether a mobile app with artificial intelligence can help screen motor development in infants. It may offer a convenient way for parents and clinicians to track development at home between check-ups.
Taipei, Taiwan, 100Ages 2 months–1.5 years - NCT07167732Recruiting
CTNNB1 Syndrome Natural History Study
This study follows people with CTNNB1 syndrome over time to better understand the condition. It does not test any new treatment—just collects information to help future research.
SydneyAges Any age - NCT04885959Enrolling by invitation
Study how an Asian diet affects gut bacteria and allergy risk in pregnancy
This study looks at whether eating a traditional Asian diet during pregnancy changes gut bacteria and body chemistry in a way that may lower (or change) a baby’s risk of developing allergies. You would follow the diet during pregnancy and be tracked after delivery.
Kota Bharu, KelantanAges 18–40 - NCT04380051Recruiting
Sensory touch therapy to help parents bond with very preterm babies
This study tests whether a gentle sensory “stimulation” approach can improve how parents and very preterm babies interact and support the baby’s social development. If you qualify, you and your baby would be asked to take part so researchers can see whether this early intervention helps bonding and social skills.
ReimsAges Up to 1 day - NCT06970522Recruiting
Wearable sensors to detect muscle problems in babies
This trial uses small wearable sensors to measure muscle activity in babies with low or typical muscle tone. The goal is to better spot early signs of movement problems so therapy can start sooner.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for infant development?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 95 recruiting infant development studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a infant development trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a infant development trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
