Face Mask Shapes for Newborn Breathing Support
This study compares two different face mask shapes used to help newborns breathe before a breathing tube is placed. Researchers want to see which mask shape works better and is easier for doctors to use.
Dublin, LeinsterAges Any age - NCT07150923Recruiting
Supraglottic airway for newborn breathing support
This study tests whether a special breathing tube placed above the voice box (called a supraglottic airway) works better than the usual mask or tube to help newborns who need breathing support right after birth. It is for babies born at or after 34 weeks of pregnancy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth+ - NCT07107477RecruitingPhase 3
Tailored therapy for preterm membrane rupture to prolong pregnancy
This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for people whose water breaks too early (before 34 weeks). The goal is to safely extend the pregnancy and improve health outcomes for both the parent and baby, while reducing the use of antibiotics.
BrnoAges 18 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT06701084Recruiting
Genetic Causes of Infant Epilepsy at Boston Children's
This study looks at the genetic causes of epilepsy that starts in babies under 1 year old. It aims to learn how a genetic diagnosis might help guide care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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 - NCT06310213Enrolling by invitation
Non-invasive pressure monitor for babies with hydrocephalus risk
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor pressure in the brain for babies at risk of hydrocephalus. It uses a special contact lens and a small sticker, so no needles or surgery are needed.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges birth–1 year - NCT07460349Recruiting
Extended interval gentamicin dosing in newborns
This study looks at spacing out doses of the antibiotic gentamicin for newborns up to 7 days old who need it. The goal is to make sure the dosing schedule works well and is safe for babies.
London, OntarioAges birth–1 week - NCT05813730Recruiting
Testing urine creatinine levels in healthy newborns
This study measures how quickly creatinine leaves the body in urine during the first days of life. It may help doctors understand normal kidney function in healthy full-term newborns.
Nancy, LorraineAges Up to 3 days - NCT07247474Recruiting
Using electrical impedance tomography for heart and lung imaging
This trial uses a safe, non-invasive technique called EIT to monitor heart and lung function in children and young adults with certain heart or lung conditions, compared with healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better understand and manage these conditions.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 2 weeks–25 years - NCT06522581RecruitingPhase 1
Citicoline for brain injury in newborns
This trial tests if citicoline, a brain-protecting supplement, can help newborns with moderate to severe brain injury from lack of oxygen. It is for babies who have not gotten cooling treatment.
RawalpindiAges 1 day–4 weeks - NCT07747519Enrolling by invitation
Mobile van visits for postpartum checkups
This study tests whether a mobile van can make it easier to attend your postpartum checkup after having a baby. If you qualify, you might get your checkup at a van near your home instead of having to travel to the hospital.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05838690Recruiting
Improving breathing tube placement safety in NICU newborns

Ultrasound to see blood flow in babies getting cooling therapy
This study uses a special ultrasound with a contrast dye to look at blood flow in the brain and kidneys of newborns with birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen) during cooling treatment. It helps doctors understand how cooling affects these organs.
Erlangen, BavariaAges Any age - NCT06533787Recruiting
Heart ultrasound in sick newborns in the NICU
