Recruiting studies
- NCT07264400Recruiting
Pregnancy exercise and baby heart health
This trial looks at how a mother's physical activity during pregnancy might affect her newborn's heart function. It is part of a larger study called PregMouv, and researchers want to see if staying active leads to better heart rate variability in babies.

Using a dye to help diagnose blocked bile ducts in newborns
This study tests if a special dye (ICG) and a camera can help doctors see blocked bile ducts in newborns with jaundice, so they can diagnose biliary atresia faster and without extra procedures.

How IV fluids before birth affect newborn weight loss
This trial looks at whether giving IV fluids to mothers before delivery affects how much weight healthy, full-term newborns lose in their first days of life. It is for mothers who feed their baby only formula in the hospital.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT07212361Recruiting
Restoring infant gut bacteria with mother's microbes
This study tests whether giving healthy newborns a special mix of their own mother's friendly bacteria can help build a healthy gut. It is for mothers who had a healthy pregnancy, plan to breastfeed, and live near Helsinki.
HelsinkiAges Up to 50 years - NCT07194070Recruiting
Registry study for hemolytic disease in pregnancy
This study tracks pregnancies affected by hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). It collects information to better understand the condition and improve care. You may join if you are pregnant with a history of a prior affected pregnancy and have a current antibody that could harm your baby.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07152106Recruiting
Amniotic fluid and the preterm baby's gut
This study looks at the fluid around your baby (amniotic fluid) and how it might affect your baby's gut health if they are born early. It may help doctors understand how to better care for preterm infants.
AmsterdamAges 16 years+ - NCT06081075Recruiting
Newborn Genomics Program for Sick Infants
This study looks at using rapid DNA testing (genomics) in newborns and children who are very sick in the hospital (NICU or PICU). The goal is to see if finding a genetic cause early can help guide treatment and improve outcomes.
AucklandAges birth–2 years - NCT07134387Recruiting
Long-term effects of BPD on family quality of life
This study looks at how bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a lung condition in premature babies, affects the long-term health and quality of life of children and their families. Parents or caregivers of children born early with or without BPD can join to compare experiences.
München, BavariaAges birth–18 years - NCT07081048Recruiting
Reducing newborn pain during a heel stick blood test
This study tests two pain-relief methods during a heel stick blood draw in full-term newborns. The goal is to find which method helps babies feel less pain and stay more comfortable.
MersinAges 1 day–1 month - NCT06880016Recruiting
Lung ultrasound after surfactant in preterm babies
This study uses lung ultrasound to see how different ways of giving surfactant (a medicine for breathing problems) affect preterm babies born before 32 weeks. It may help doctors choose the best method for your baby.
Konya, KaratayAges 1 day–5 days - NCT06875089Recruiting
Newborn gene screening study in France
This study is testing a new way to screen newborns for certain health conditions by analyzing their DNA from a small blood sample. It aims to see if parents find this type of screening acceptable and helpful.
AngersAges birth–4 weeks - NCT06757543Recruiting
Comparing video vs direct laryngoscopy for newborn intubation
This study compares two ways of putting a breathing tube into newborn babies: using a video camera to see the airway versus the standard method of looking directly. It aims to find which technique is safer and more effective.
RijekaAges birth–1 month - NCT06499363Recruiting
Treprostinil for pulmonary hypertension in newborns
This study collects information on how well a medicine called treprostinil works and how safe it is for newborn babies with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It is for babies who have already received this treatment as part of their regular care.
BronAges Up to 10 months - NCT06200662Recruiting
Maternal Comfort for Pain Relief During Blood Draw in Preemies
This study tests whether a mother's comforting actions (like holding, talking, or breastfeeding) can reduce pain in very premature babies during a blood draw. It may help your baby feel less pain without extra medicine.
Strasbourg, Bas-RhinAges 7 months–8 months - NCT06058819Recruiting
New blood test to guide antibiotic use in newborns
This study is testing a new blood test to see if it can help doctors decide when to use antibiotics for newborns who may have a late-onset infection. The goal is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
BronAges 1 week–2 weeks - NCT05990179Recruiting
Screening newborns for rare diseases using genetics
This trial offers free genetic screening for rare diseases in newborns. It aims to find health conditions early so babies can get the right care sooner.
New York, New YorkAges 1 day–1 month - NCT05912517RecruitingPhase 3
Nipocalimab for high-risk pregnancy blood disease
This Phase 3 trial tests nipocalimab (an antibody medicine) to help prevent severe blood breakdown in a baby when a parent has certain blood antibodies. It enrolls people who previously had severe hemolytic disease in a past pregnancy and who are currently early in pregnancy with the same risk antibodies.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–45 - NCT04405700Recruiting
Tracking birth outcomes and birth defects after delivery
This study follows pregnant people and their babies to better measure adverse outcomes and possible congenital (from birth) conditions. It may help improve how birth risks and birth defects are identified and recorded at the clinic.
EldoretAges Any age - NCT00710177Recruiting
Study genes and risk of persistent lung blood pressure in newborns
This study looks at a newborn’s genes (PTGS1 variation) and whether that relates to persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), a serious breathing/lung blood-pressure problem. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and how to better identify affected babies early.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges Up to 1 year - NCT07879326Recruiting
Hearing screening for babies in Kenya
This study tests a newborn hearing screening program for babies in Kenya. It aims to find hearing problems early so babies can get the help they need.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for newborn?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 201 recruiting newborn 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 newborn 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 newborn 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.
