CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT05285345Recruiting
A new discharge plan for very premature babies with lung disease
This trial tests a standardized, team-agreed discharge plan to help preterm babies with lung disease (often called BPD) leave the hospital safely. It may help by making the discharge process more consistent, especially for babies going home on breathing support like oxygen.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–1 year - NCT05285761Recruiting
Feeding guidance study for new parents of newborns
This trial tests whether feeding guidelines for parents lead to better feeding practices for very young babies. You may be asked to fill out questionnaires and, later, have your baby’s meals recorded on camera.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05285735Recruiting
Safety study for IV artesunate during pregnancy
This study follows people who were pregnant while receiving IV artesunate to better understand the treatment’s safety for both the mother and the baby. It does not test a new treatment—it collects safety information from real-world care.
Piscataway, New JerseyAges 15–100 - NCT05286983Recruiting
Family-centered care program for very premature or low-birthweight babies
This trial studies a family-centered care approach and measures how infants, parents, and hospital staff do during the babies’ care. It may help by improving the experience and outcomes for families of very premature or very small newborns.
Ulm, Baden-WurttembergAges 1 minute–2 weeks - NCT05298748Recruiting
Audio recordings to help breathing control mature in preterm babies
This trial studies whether listening to special “womb” sounds can help a preterm baby’s breathing control develop as they grow. It may help babies who are already breathing on their own (with low or no extra oxygen support).
Cleveland, OhioAges 1 week–1 month - NCT05336890Recruiting
Using past oxygen data to predict risks after premature birth
This study builds a personalized computer model that uses earlier breathing/oxygen information from preterm infants to predict possible health or development outcomes by preschool age. It may help families and doctors better estimate risks and plan support, using information already collected in a previous study.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 7 months–6.9 years - NCT05340465RecruitingPhase 2
IV iron in preterm babies to reduce blood transfusions
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving a specific IV iron (darbe plus IV iron) can help preterm babies need fewer blood transfusions while still keeping their iron levels in a safe range. It focuses on babies in the NICU who were born early, and it compares transfusion use and iron sufficiency over time.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 3 days - 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 - 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 - NCT05358483Recruiting
Study of mothers and babies’ health factors
This study follows women planning pregnancy and their children for many years to understand what social and health factors shape outcomes for mothers and infants. Your participation may help researchers better understand risks and protective factors before and after birth.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–44 - NCT05380401Recruiting
DHA and ARA milk fats for very early preterm babies
This study looks at how adding two specific milk fats (DHA and ARA) through enteral feeding affects metabolism in very early preterm infants. It may help researchers understand what these nutrients do in babies born around 25–30 weeks gestation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Up to 8 months - NCT05382403Recruiting
Vacuum device for heavy bleeding after childbirth
This study looks at a vacuum-based device to help stop severe bleeding after delivery (postpartum hemorrhage), especially when the uterus is not tightening. It may help women who have ongoing bleeding despite standard first medicines to reduce bleeding.
Kumasi, Ashanti RegionAges 18–44 - NCT05394363Recruiting
Victoria children birth-cohort study with parent/guardian consent
This study follows children born in a specific 2-year window and their parents or guardians over time. It helps researchers understand how children and families change as they grow, which can guide future health supports in Victoria.
Parkville, VictoriaAges 1 day+ - NCT05445544Recruiting
Study of belly and baby microbes to improve preeclampsia screening
This study looks at tiny living organisms in pregnancy (and related body samples) to find better ways to screen for preeclampsia. By learning early warning signs, it may help doctors identify risk sooner during routine prenatal care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05458037Recruiting
Testing fast versus slow numbing during IUD or biopsy
This study compares two ways of applying a numbing tool (“tenaculum”) during an IUD insertion or an endometrial biopsy to see which one causes less pain. If you’re scheduled for one of these procedures, it may help improve how discomfort is managed.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05462366Recruiting
Test sequencing DNA from mother-baby samples
This study looks at genetic and other biological information from samples collected from mothers and their babies after birth. It may help researchers understand factors that affect healthy pregnancies and newborn outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Up to 40 years - NCT05462704RecruitingPhase 3
IV or oral iron to treat anemia in pregnancy
This trial compares giving iron through a vein (IV) versus by mouth (oral) to treat iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy. It may help you and your baby by finding which method works better and fits safely during mid-pregnancy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–45 - NCT05512234Recruiting
Probiotic drops to reduce crying in breastfed baby colic
This trial tests whether probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri (a specific friendly gut bacteria) can shorten how long a baby cries when they have colic. If you join, you’ll keep feeding as usual and track crying in a diary across several visits.
CorkAges 3 weeks–2 months - NCT05524649Recruiting
Probiotics for healthy newborns’ poop bacteria balance
This study looks at whether giving probiotics to healthy newborns changes the bacteria in their stool. It may help researchers understand early gut health, but it is only for babies who meet specific health and timing requirements.
