The Dirty Nappy Study for babies with liver problems
This study looks at babies with possible liver problems (cholestasis) who have been referred to the Birmingham Liver Unit. Researchers want to collect information from nappy (diaper) samples to better understand these conditions.

Camera test for breathing trouble in newborns with fistula
This study tests whether a camera-based scope can help doctors diagnose breathing problems in newborns who had surgery for a birth defect where the food tube and windpipe are connected. The goal is to avoid putting a breathing tube in the child during the exam.
Bergamo, ItalyAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07684885Recruiting
Blood pressure study for newborns and children
This study tests a new non-invasive blood pressure device in babies, children, and teens. It compares the device's readings to those from an arterial line, which is already in place for their medical care. The goal is to see if the device can measure blood pressure accurately without needles.
HelsinkiAges Up to 18 years - NCT07672210Recruiting

This study is looking at cases of aortic dissection that happen during pregnancy or shortly after childbirth in China. It aims to understand how these events occur and how they can best be managed.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 16–55 - NCT07674953Recruiting
CPAP and oxygen delivery in preterm infants
This study looks at how different levels of CPAP (a breathing machine that helps keep the lungs open) affect oxygen delivery and lung expansion in preterm babies. It may help doctors understand the best settings for infants who need breathing support.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges Any age - NCT07667205Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Liposomal vs. ferrous iron for preventing anemia in preterm babies
This trial compares two types of iron supplements—liposomal iron and ferrous iron—to see which works better at preventing iron deficiency anemia in premature infants. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for these fragile newborns.
CairoAges 2 weeks–3 weeks - NCT06267508Recruiting
HIV testing and treatment for newborns
This study looks at ways to test and treat newborns for HIV early to improve their long-term health. It is for mothers with HIV whose babies are less than 3 days old and who are willing to have their babies tested and followed at home.
BeiraAges 18 years+ - NCT07635368Recruiting
Blood Markers in Newborns With CMV Infection
This research study examines blood samples from newborns to identify biological markers (proteins and genetic signals) that could help detect and understand congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection—a virus some babies are born with. Finding these markers might help doctors identify infected infants earlier and develop better treatments.
CopenhagenAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07634445Recruiting
Breathing exercises to reduce anxiety in mothers of NICU babies
This study tests whether simple breathing exercises done before breastfeeding can help reduce stress and anxiety in mothers whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The goal is to improve both the mother's well-being and the baby's stress levels.
Elâzığ, ElâzığAges 18 years+ - NCT07626112Recruiting
Using a Smartphone App to Track Baby Movement
This study tests a new smartphone app called Womb Watch that helps pregnant patients track their baby's movements. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use and helpful for monitoring fetal health during the third trimester of pregnancy.
Austin, TexasAges 18–45 - NCT04114578Recruiting
Study of babies and children with diaphragm hernia
This is an observational study that follows babies and children with congenital diaphragm hernia (CDH) to learn more about their health and care over time. It may help doctors better understand which factors affect outcomes.
Montreal, QuebecAges Up to 17 years - NCT07608432RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a New DMD Treatment Given Every 4 Weeks
This study tests whether a new medicine called zeleciment rostudirsen can help ambulatory (walking) males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The medicine is given as an intravenous infusion (through a vein) every 4 weeks and works by helping the body produce a protective muscle protein.
Hillsborough, North CarolinaAges 4–18 - NCT07610486RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Better ampicillin dosing for preterm infants
This study gives preterm babies the standard antibiotic ampicillin and checks the amount in their blood to find the best dose. It may help make sure the medicine works well and is safe for babies born early.
Durham, North CarolinaAges birth–1 week - NCT07587242RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a New Therapy for DMD with Exon 44 Mutations
This study tests whether a new medicine called AOC 1044 (delpacibart zotadirsen) can help boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who have a specific genetic mutation. The medicine works by helping the body skip a damaged part of the gene to make a functional protein.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 7–16 - NCT05934682Recruiting
Study of surgery outcomes in children
This study looks at how pediatric patients do after different types of planned and unplanned surgeries at participating hospitals. It may help doctors improve care and safety for children undergoing surgery.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 1 day–18 years - NCT07578597Enrolling by invitation
Pregnancy and Baby Health After Weight-Loss Surgery
This study compares how pregnancy and newborn health differ between women who had weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) and women who didn't. Researchers follow both mother and baby to understand potential risks and benefits.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT07585149Recruiting
Brain Biomarker Reference Levels in Healthy Newborns
This study collects blood samples and health information from healthy full-term newborns to establish normal ranges for brain-related markers in early life. Understanding these baseline levels may help doctors better identify babies who need extra care in the future.
CorkAges birth–1 week - NCT03988764Recruiting
Checking monogenic diabetes wrongly labeled as type 1
This trial looks at people who were diagnosed with diabetes before age 25 as either type 1 or “not sure which type.” It may help confirm whether the cause is genetic (monogenic) rather than type 1, which can change treatment choices.
Montreal, QuebecAges 1 day–25 years - NCT07555652Recruiting
Cooling treatment for newborns with birth-related brain injury
This trial studies whether cooling a newborn's body after a difficult birth helps prevent brain damage. Researchers will track babies treated with this cooling therapy and use brain imaging to see how well it works.
Ha Nội, HanoiAges birth–6 hours - NCT07550218Recruiting
Surfactant Delivery Methods for Premature Babies with Breathing Problems
This study looks at different ways doctors give a life-saving medication called surfactant to premature babies who are struggling to breathe. Researchers want to understand which delivery methods work best and help improve care.

Testing a New Blood Pressure Device for Newborns
This study tests a new device called Boppli that measures blood pressure in babies in the intensive care unit. It's designed for newborns who are at risk for high blood pressure due to kidney problems or other serious conditions.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges birth–9 months - NCT07547579Enrolling by invitation
Newborn Care Classes for First-Time Pregnant Mothers

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neonatal?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 319 recruiting neonatal 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 neonatal 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 neonatal 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.
