This study looks at health data from pregnant women to find patterns that could help predict and catch health problems in mothers and babies early. It might offer better monitoring and care during and after pregnancy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–45 - NCT07344714Recruiting
Predicting breathing help needs for newborns in NICUs
This study looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 7 months–9 months - NCT07363538Recruiting
Comparing heart surgery methods for newborns with complex heart defects
This trial tests new surgical strategies for newborns with certain complex heart conditions. It aims to see which techniques lead to better recovery and quality of life in the first year after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 1 week - NCT04218318Recruiting
Stopping light therapy early in newborns with blood breakdown
This study looks for a safe threshold to stop the “light therapy” (phototherapy) in newborns who have jaundice caused by blood cell breakdown (hemolytic disease). It may help some babies avoid unnecessary extra days of treatment while still staying safe.
MadinahAges 1 hour–2 weeks - NCT06434207Recruiting
Heart defect study in newborns to understand blood clots
This study looks at tiny particles from cells in newborns with heart defects to understand blood clot risks. It aims to find ways to prevent clots after heart surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 day–1 week - 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 - NCT06087315Recruiting
Study of oxygen use in children's hospitals
This study looks at how hospitals in six countries use pulse oximeters and oxygen therapy to treat children. It aims to find ways to improve oxygen delivery and care for children with serious illnesses.
Phnom PenhAges birth–15 years - NCT06469580Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to guide breathing tube removal in newborns
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound helps doctors decide the best time to remove a breathing tube from preterm and full-term newborns. It may reduce the chance of needing to put the tube back in.
Graz, StyriaAges 1 minute–6 months - NCT06594458Recruiting
New method to keep mom and baby together after C-section
This study tests a new procedure to reduce separation between mother and newborn after a planned C-section. It may help babies with mild breathing problems who need a little extra oxygen stay with their moms instead of going to a separate nursery.
RomaAges 1 minute–3 days - NCT07166172Recruiting
Long-term outcomes after fetal surgery for severe CDH
This study follows pregnant women and their babies after a special fetal surgery (FETO) for severe diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). It aims to understand long-term health outcomes for both mother and child.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07183462RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic treatment for late preterm water breaking
This trial tests whether a combination of two antibiotics (azithromycin and ampicillin) can help pregnant people whose water has broken between 34 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to see if this treatment improves outcomes for both the parent and baby without causing early labor or infection.
Ramat Gan, IsraelAges 18–50 - NCT06153459Recruiting
