Recruiting studies
- NCT07715682Recruiting
Gentle touch and calm for premature babies' blood tests
This study tests whether gentle human touch and fewer distractions can help reduce pain and improve comfort for premature babies during a standard heel-prick blood test.

Comparing two blood pressure medicines for newborns with lung hypertension
This trial compares two medicines (dopamine and norepinephrine) to see which works better for raising blood pressure in newborns who have both low blood pressure and high blood pressure in the lungs. Both medicines are given through a vein to help stabilize your baby's blood pressure.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT03217578Recruiting
Newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy in Taiwan

Kaohsiung CityAges birth–2 weeks - NCT03298334RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing vaginal bacteria transfer to newborns after C-section
This study looks at whether they can safely place “healthy vaginal bacteria” from the mother into the newborn after a scheduled C-section, and whether it improves the baby’s health. It only enrolls certain mothers and babies based on infection testing and other health factors.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges birth–50 years - NCT03822741Recruiting
Seizure causes and treatments in newborns and infants

Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 1 year - NCT03931707Recruiting
Genetic study of newborns in China
This study collects genetic information from very young newborns to better understand early-life health. Your child’s information may help researchers learn about genetics and future research.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT03993158Recruiting
Study of newborns conceived through fertility treatment
This study looks at newborns who were conceived through assisted reproductive technology (fertility treatment) and delivered at the study center. It likely aims to better understand outcomes or health information for these babies.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges birth–40 years - NCT04294368Recruiting
Fortifying donor breast milk for very premature babies
This study tests whether adding extra nutrition (fortifying) to donated breast milk helps very premature infants grow better and safely. You might be offered a fortified donor milk feeding plan if your baby meets the timing and medical criteria.
New York, New YorkAges 1 day–3 weeks - NCT04365998Recruiting
Testing a new light device for newborn jaundice
This study tests a new phototherapy (special light treatment) device to treat newborn jaundice. It may help by seeing whether this device can treat jaundice safely and effectively.
LilleAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT04394806Recruiting
Fasting and meal-fat study in early pregnancy
This study looks at how fasting and eating affect a pregnancy’s fat levels in the belly and liver. It may help researchers understand how maternal metabolism could impact baby and pregnancy health.
Aurora, ColoradoAges birth–39 years - NCT04599010Recruiting
Body composition and feeding help for large-for-birth babies
This study looks at how body composition may affect feeding in babies who were “large for gestational age” and have difficulty feeding by mouth. Results may help doctors better identify which babies need extra feeding support and why feeding difficulties happen.
Orlando, FloridaAges 1 week–2 months - NCT04621279Recruiting
Cooling treatment study for babies with mild brain injury
This study compares different approaches to “cooling” treatment in newborns with mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (mild brain injury from not enough oxygen around birth). The goal is to see which approach works best and is safest for babies like yours.
Dallas, TexasAges 8 months+ - NCT04664556Recruiting
Study of severe pneumococcal infections in children
This study tracks cases of invasive pneumococcal disease (a serious infection) in children and newborns. It may help clinicians better understand how these infections happen and guide future prevention and treatment.
CréteilAges 1 day–18 years - NCT04664569Recruiting
Study of treatments for bacterial meningitis in children
This study enrolls children and newborns with suspected or confirmed bacterial meningitis. The goal is to understand and improve care for serious infections that affect the lining around the brain.
CréteilAges 1 day–18 years - NCT04905537Recruiting
Genetic screening for newborns after a serious pregnancy loss
This trial looks at doing early genetic testing in newborns/early life cases after a serious pregnancy loss, to learn whether genetics can help understand why it happened. If you have the right timing and sample availability, the results may help future “more precise” care planning and research.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 3 months - NCT07697872Recruiting
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.
BirminghamAges Up to 11 years - NCT04952870Recruiting
Study breathing treatment and early immunity in newborns after COVID
This study looks at how newborns’ bodies are affected by COVID-19 around birth and whether a breathing support treatment (inhaled nitric oxide) changes outcomes. It also compares COVID-exposed babies and a similar group of babies without COVID who are not receiving the breathing treatment.
LilleAges Up to 3 months - NCT04975178RecruitingPhase 3
Test of a TB vaccine for newborns in sub-Saharan Africa
This Phase 3 study tests whether MTBVAC can safely protect newborn babies from tuberculosis and whether it helps the baby’s immune system learn to fight TB. If you enroll, the goal is to see safety and immune response in real newborn settings in sub-Saharan Africa.
Worcester, Western CapeAges 5 minutes–1 week - NCT04984967Recruiting
Testing a tiny guide for placing IV lines in newborns
This study looks at whether using a very small “micro-guide” helps place a peripheral IV (a small vein line) in newborns more safely or easily. It may help staff reduce problems with IV placement in the neonatal unit.
MontpellierAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT05079841RecruitingPhase 4
Electronic breast pump stimulation during labor to help mothers
This study tests whether using an electronic breast pump to stimulate the nipples during labor affects birth outcomes and helps mothers. You might qualify if you are a first-time pregnant person (no prior births) who is planning to start oxytocin (a labor medicine) once labor begins.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05081258Recruiting
Tests presurgery shaping for newborn cleft lip and palate growth
This study looks at whether a presurgery orthodontic shaping method affects how newborns with a cleft lip and palate grow over time. It may help clinicians decide on the best early treatment approach.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 1 day–2 years - NCT05207852Recruiting
Dexamethasone study for preterm labor lung development
This trial studies how well dexamethasone works and how it behaves in the body when given during preterm labor to help the baby’s lungs mature. You may be able to join if you’re pregnant between 24–36 weeks and are receiving the study treatment per their schedule.
BeijingAges 20–40 - NCT05395195RecruitingPhase 3
Erythropoietin for newborn brain injury in low-resource settings

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for newborn?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 206 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.
