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+ - NCT04777760Recruiting
Surfactant treatment for newborn breathing distress
This trial looks at giving a “surfactant” medicine (a substance that helps keep baby lungs open) to newborns who have serious breathing problems soon after birth. It may help babies with neonatal respiratory distress or acute breathing distress, especially if they’re treated in the early time window.

Measuring oxygen use in newborns with breathing trouble
This study looks at how well oxygen is being used by the body in newborns who are having breathing problems, from birth through the first hours of life. It also studies whether infection plays a role, which may help doctors better understand and treat newborn breathing trouble.
Graz, StyriaAges Up to 6 hours - NCT05187897Recruiting

Edmonton, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT05294276Recruiting
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 - NCT05347238Recruiting
Dopamine or norepinephrine for low blood pressure in very preterm babies
This trial compares two common medicines—dopamine versus norepinephrine—to treat low blood pressure in very preterm babies who have suspected or confirmed late-onset bloodstream infection (sepsis). It may help doctors find which medicine works better and more safely for this specific situation.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 5 months–7 months - NCT05371886Recruiting
Testing how morphine (with or without midazolam) behaves in NICU babies
This study measures how morphine works in very young babies, and whether adding midazolam changes how the medicines behave and affect the body. It may help doctors better choose and dose pain/sedation medicines for babies in intensive care.
BrestAges 5 months–10 months - 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 - NCT05514340RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug for brain injury after low oxygen at birth
This Phase 2 study tests whether sovateltide can improve safety and outcomes for babies whose brains may have been injured by low oxygen around birth. It focuses on babies who show signs of moderate to severe injury soon after delivery, and who receive standard supportive care.
Mangalore, KarnatakaAges Any age - NCT05521607Recruiting
Phone screening tool for newborn jaundice after birth
This trial tests whether a smartphone tool can help screen newborn jaundice (yellow skin) using skin measurements. It may help doctors identify jaundice sooner and decide if a blood test is needed.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 1 day–2 weeks - NCT05562310Recruiting
Testing amino acid needs in TPN-fed premature newborns
This study looks at how much phenylalanine, methionine, and histidine premature babies need while they are fed only through a vein (TPN). The goal is to make sure the nutrient amounts in TPN support healthy growth safely.
Toronto, OntarioAges 1 day–4 weeks - NCT05673499Recruiting
Monitoring oxygen and brain signals during major newborn surgery
This study checks how well newborn babies’ brains are getting oxygen and how brain activity changes while they have certain major surgeries. It may help doctors better monitor brain safety during surgery in newborns with specific conditions.
New York, New YorkAges Up to 1.1 years - NCT05813184Recruiting
Prenatal antibiotics and breast milk effects on newborn immunity
This study looks at how taking antibiotics during late pregnancy affects a baby’s early immune protection, with breastfeeding as an important factor. You may be able to join if you plan to breastfeed and either received antibiotics for at least 7 days after 32 weeks or did not receive such antibiotics during pregnancy.
MilanAges 18–40 - NCT05836610RecruitingPhase 4
Testing hydrocortisone dosing during newborn cooling
This Phase 4 trial studies the best way to give hydrocortisone (a steroid medicine) to newborns who are being cooled for a specific kind of birth-related lack of oxygen. It’s for babies who have low blood pressure during cooling, aiming to improve their stability while they receive standard treatment.
Budapest, Pest CountyAges Up to 3 days - NCT05889507RecruitingPhase 3
Cooling treatment for newborns with mild brain injury
This Phase 3 study tests whether cooling a newborn’s body can help babies with mild brain injury after a difficult birth. It aims to see if cooling improves brain-related outcomes compared with standard care.
NaplesAges 1 hour–6 hours - NCT05896306Recruiting
Monitor blood flow in newborns during resuscitation
This study uses a painless light-based monitor to track how blood is moving in the brains of newborns during resuscitation. It may help doctors better understand what’s happening during care for very sick newborns.

Phoenix, ArizonaAges 7 months–8 months - NCT05964426Recruiting
Learn parent knowledge about newborn jaundice
This study asks parents of very young babies about how much they know and understand newborn jaundice. It may help improve parent education so jaundice signs and next steps are easier to recognize.
