Newborn registry for very small or very early babies
This study registers newborns who are very small or born very early, to better understand their care and outcomes over time. If you have a newborn that fits the size or gestational age range and the baby is delivered at or transferred to the hospital, you may be eligible.
TaipeiAges Up to 1 year - NCT05395195RecruitingPhase 3
Erythropoietin for newborn brain injury in low-resource settings
This Phase 3 trial studies whether erythropoietin (a medicine related to red-blood-cell growth) can improve outcomes for newborns with moderate to severe brain injury after birth. The study focuses on babies born in low- and middle-income countries and aims to reduce harm from this early brain condition.
DhakaAges 1 hour–6 hours - NCT05754372Recruiting
Dialysis-focused treatment study for newborn high ammonia
This trial looks at how to best treat newborns with very high ammonia in the blood when urgent dialysis is needed. It may help doctors choose the most effective way to rapidly lower ammonia and improve outcomes in babies with certain inherited metabolic conditions.
GhentAges Up to 1 year - NCT06224816Recruiting
Custom 3D-printed nasal masks for premature babies on breathing support
This trial tests whether custom 3D-printed nasal masks work better for premature babies who need non-invasive breathing support. The masks are made to fit each baby's face, which might be more comfortable and effective.
MadridAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07852624Recruiting
Anesthesia during planned c-section and newborn hearing
This study compares two types of anesthesia used during planned cesarean deliveries to see if they affect the baby's hearing after birth. If you qualify, you would receive one of the standard anesthesia methods, and your baby's hearing would be checked shortly after delivery.
WenzhouAges 18–35 - NCT07850908Enrolling by invitation
Ventilation method for newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension
This study tests a specific type of breathing machine (ventilator) that adjusts air pressure to help newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension breathe better. It aims to see if this method improves oxygen levels and outcomes for babies needing mechanical ventilation in their first week of life.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 1 day–2 months - NCT07821190Recruiting
Blood marker for late infection in preterm babies
This study tests a new blood marker (called MDW) to help doctors quickly spot late-onset sepsis in preterm babies. If it works, it could lead to faster treatment for infections in premature infants.
TantaAges 3 days–4 weeks - NCT07799870Recruiting
Checking vital signs in newborns with Lifelight software
This study tests a new camera-based software called Lifelight to measure vital signs like heart rate and breathing in newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), compared to the usual monitors. It may offer a less intrusive way to monitor your baby.
London, LondonAges birth–1 year - NCT02881970RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cord blood stem cell treatment for newborn brain injury
This early-phase study tests whether using a baby’s own cord blood stem cells is safe and feasible for newborns with brain injury from lack of oxygen around birth. It may help researchers find new ways to treat hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (brain injury due to oxygen deprivation) in addition to standard care like cooling.
MarseilleAges 1 day–3 days - NCT07758205Recruiting
Monitoring body temperature in mothers and preterm babies
This trial tests a way to keep track of body temperature continuously for both mothers and their preterm babies, to see if it helps monitor their health more closely. It might improve care for babies born a bit early.
Graz, StyriaAges Any age - NCT07732257Recruiting
Wireless button sensor study for premature infants
This study tests a small, wireless button-like sensor to monitor vital signs in premature infants in the NICU. It may offer a gentler way to track your baby's health.
Montreal, QuebecAges Any age - NCT04598750Recruiting
Assessing bleeding risk in very premature babies with low platelets
This trial looks at how to estimate bleeding risk in newborns who are very premature and have a low platelet count. The goal is to guide safer care by better identifying which babies may be at higher risk of bleeding.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 day+ - NCT05560802Recruiting
Testing a new labor chart to improve newborn outcomes
This study looks at whether using a new “labor chart” (called a partograph) during active labor can improve outcomes for newborns. If you’re currently in active labor, this trial may check whether the new chart helps care teams make better decisions.
EksjöAges Any age - NCT07690930Enrolling by invitation
Hat glasses for eye protection during jaundice light therapy
This trial tests a special hat-like glasses to protect babies' eyes during phototherapy (light treatment for jaundice). It is for healthy full-term newborns who are in a regular hospital room.
KaramanAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07672275Recruiting
How blood transfusions affect stress markers in newborns
This study looks at how blood transfusions change stress-related substances in the blood of newborns. It might help doctors understand how transfusions affect babies in the NICU.
Graz, StyriaAges 5 minutes–5 months - NCT07641751Enrolling by invitation
Husband Support During Cesarean Birth Surgery
This study looks at whether having your husband present during a planned cesarean section (surgical delivery) affects how well the anesthesia works and how you and your baby do after surgery. Researchers want to understand if partner support improves the birthing experience.
AlexandriaAges Any age - NCT07628829Recruiting
Video AI to Monitor Newborn Brain Health
This study uses artificial intelligence to watch and analyze videos of newborns in the hospital nursery or NICU to help doctors spot neurological problems early. The goal is to see if this video AI tool can safely and accurately help care for newborns during their hospital stay.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07616778Recruiting
Study of Babies Born at 22 Weeks Gestation
This study follows babies born at exactly 22 weeks of pregnancy (very early, before typical viability) who were cared for in a hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand outcomes and care practices for these extremely premature infants.

Foot Reflexology and Massage for Jaundiced Newborns
This study tests whether gentle foot reflexology and massage can help newborns with jaundice (high bilirubin levels in the blood) recover faster during light therapy treatment. Jaundice is common in newborns and is usually treated with special lights; this trial explores whether touch therapy might improve outcomes.
Kusadasi, AydınAges 2 days–1 week - NCT07610746Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow in Newborns Exposed to Opioids Before Birth
