Below are recruiting necrotizing enterocolitis clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 16 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT06315738RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ST266 in Babies with NEC
This study tests an investigational drug called ST266 in babies with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious gut infection. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help heal the bowel.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 2 weeks–2 months - NCT06727877Recruiting
Predicting bowel disease in premature babies using gut bacteria
This study looks at the gut bacteria of premature babies to see if changes can predict a serious bowel condition (ulcero-necrotizing enterocolitis). It aims to use artificial intelligence to help doctors catch it early.
Clermont-FerrandAges Up to 1 day - NCT05544097Recruiting
Listening to bowel sounds in very early preterm babies
This study listens to bowel sounds in very early preterm babies to see if sound patterns can predict a serious gut problem called enterocolitis. If you qualify, your baby may get monitored with harmless sound checks to help doctors catch problems earlier.
AmiensAges Up to 7 months - NCT07490834Enrolling by invitation
Long-term nutrition after necrotizing enterocolitis in preemies
This study looks at how necrotizing enterocolitis (a serious gut infection) affects the long-term nutrition of premature babies. If your baby was born early and had this condition, participating could help doctors understand its lasting effects.
Nancy, LorraineAges Any age - NCT06422988Enrolling by invitation
Probiotics for preventing severe NEC in premature babies
This study looks at whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) to very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) can lower the risk of a serious gut problem called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The researchers will review medical records of babies born between 2016 and 2022 in England and Wales.
LondonAges Up to 7 months - NCT07699666Recruiting
Cord clamping timing for preterm babies
This study compares waiting a bit before clamping the umbilical cord versus clamping it right away for babies born between 32 and 37 weeks of pregnancy. It helps determine which approach may be better for preterm infants.
Tunis, Tunis GovernorateAges birth+ - NCT05213806Recruiting
Pausing feeding during blood transfusions for very premature babies
This trial looks at whether it’s safer to temporarily withhold (pause) breast milk or formula feeds around the time of a blood transfusion in very premature babies. It may help reduce gut-related complications like NEC, a serious intestinal problem.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges Up to 7 months - NCT05272579RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Phage treatment to help gut development in very preterm babies
This early-phase trial tests whether giving a specific bacteria-fighting treatment (called bacteriophage) through the gut can help preterm babies’ intestinal development mature faster. It may help reduce early gut-related problems, but the study is mainly to check safety and early effects.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT05604846Recruiting
Probiotic drops for very preterm babies in Scandinavia
This trial studies whether giving probiotic supplements to extremely preterm newborns helps improve health outcomes. It’s meant for babies born very early, and the results could help guide safer early nutrition and care.
Solna, Stockholm CountyAges 5 months–6 months - NCT06032676Recruiting
Surgeons’ views on infant bowel disease decisions
This study interviews surgeons who treat infants with a serious bowel condition called necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Researchers want to understand how surgeons make decisions and how babies do afterward.
Southampton, HampshireAges Up to 4 months - NCT06672913Recruiting
Skin-to-skin care study for premature babies
This study looks at how holding your baby skin-to-skin affects their health and development, for babies born at 32 weeks or earlier.
AnkaraAges 1 day+ - NCT06681129Recruiting
Study of normal gut development in newborns
This study looks at how the intestines grow and develop in both premature and full-term babies. It involves collecting small tissue samples during a baby's already-planned surgery or scope procedure to better understand normal development and digestive diseases.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 2 years - NCT07152106Recruiting
Amniotic fluid and the preterm baby's gut
This study looks at the fluid around your baby (amniotic fluid) and how it might affect your baby's gut health if they are born early. It may help doctors understand how to better care for preterm infants.
AmsterdamAges 16 years+ - NCT07191678Recruiting
Gut health in preterm babies receiving blood transfusions
This study looks at how different types of feeding affect the gut of very preterm babies when they receive a blood transfusion. If your baby qualifies, the team will do extra monitoring and ultrasound scans to learn more about gut health during transfusions.
LondonAges 5 months–7 months - NCT07273643Recruiting
Studying tiny particles in cord blood of very premature babies
This study looks at microscopic particles called extracellular vesicles in the umbilical cord blood of babies born before 28 weeks. Researchers want to see if these particles can help predict severe health problems or death, and eventually improve care for extremely premature newborns.
MontpellierAges birth–3 months - NCT00747851Recruiting
Study of immune signals in newborns with early inflammation or infection
This study looks at how immune-related “NETs” might protect or possibly harm newborn babies during early inflammation or infection. It may help doctors understand which immune responses are helpful versus risky in the NICU.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for necrotizing enterocolitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 16 recruiting necrotizing enterocolitis 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 necrotizing enterocolitis 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 necrotizing enterocolitis 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.
