Light therapy device study for newborns with severe brain bleeding
This trial tests a light therapy device in newborns who had a severe form of brain bleeding (intraventricular hemorrhage grade 3 or 4) within the first month of life. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment may help improve recovery.
Newark, New JerseyAges birth–1 month - NCT06772675Recruiting
Reducing vancomycin in NICU babies
This study asks NICUs to reduce the use of the antibiotic vancomycin. It's for hospital units that are part of certain networks and agree to follow the study plan.
Modesto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06731855Recruiting
Recovery study: blood markers in newborns after intestine surgery
This study looks at blood markers in newborns after major stomach or intestine surgery. It aims to understand recovery and could help improve care for babies with similar conditions.
Liverpool, MerseysideAges Up to 5 days - NCT05848895Recruiting
Osteopathy treatment for infants with positional head shape
This study tests an osteopathic manual therapy plan (hands-on treatment) for babies with positional plagiocephaly, aiming to improve head shape and comfort. It also asks families to attend multiple treatment and measurement visits so researchers can track change over time.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 1 day–4 months - NCT06723925Recruiting
Biotinidase deficiency newborn screening and follow-up study
This study looks at babies who had low biotinidase enzyme activity on their newborn screening test. It aims to understand the genetic cause and track their health over time. If your child had low activity on this test, this study may help provide important follow-up care.
Bologna, BolognaAges Up to 3 years - NCT06705257Recruiting
Breathing support study for very early preterm babies
This study tests if a specific breathing technique (using PEEP to open up collapsed parts of the lungs) can help very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) who need breathing support. Researchers want to see if it can improve lung function in the first two weeks of life.
MiddlesbroughAges 5 months–7 months - NCT06702241RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 minute–1.5 years - NCT06683599Recruiting
Oxygen via nasal tube for babies during breathing tube placement
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose during placement of a breathing tube helps young children stay safer. It is for newborns and infants up to about 1 year old who need a breathing tube for surgery or other non-emergency procedures.
Perth, Western AustraliaAges 1 minute–12 months - NCT06690151Recruiting
