Recruiting studies
- NCT07258459Recruiting
Vaginal birth after two cesareans
This trial tests if women who have had two previous cesarean sections can safely have a vaginal birth. It includes pregnant women past 34 weeks with a baby in head-down position.
Pescara, PEAges 18 years+ - NCT07251790Recruiting
Better breathing support for very preterm babies
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges birth+ - NCT07237139Recruiting
Lung volume changes during breathing support in preterm infants
This study measures how the lungs of preterm babies (born before 30 weeks) expand during synchronized breathing support. It aims to understand how well this ventilator method works for very young infants.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT07216053Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to predict breathing problems in late preterm babies
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 8 months–8 months - NCT06789484Recruiting
Study of gut bacteria in healthy newborns
This study looks at the gut bacteria of healthy, full-term newborns whose parents plan to breastfeed exclusively. It aims to understand how the gut microbiome develops in early life.
HvidovreAges Up to 1 day - NCT05907317RecruitingPhase 3
Protecting the brains of very young newborns on breathing machines
This Phase 3 study tests ways to protect brain health in newborns who are very premature or recently born and need a breathing machine through a tube. It may help reduce the risk of brain injury while they receive intensive care.
MadridAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07189494Recruiting
Early brain markers for better outcomes in newborns
This study looks at early brain scans and other markers to help predict and improve outcomes for newborns with brain injuries that might lead to cerebral palsy. It aims to find better ways to identify these high-risk babies early.
ParisAges birth–2 years - NCT07189390RecruitingPhase 2
Probiotic study for infants who had antibiotics at birth
This study tests whether giving a probiotic (a 'good' bacteria) to babies who received antibiotics shortly after birth can help their developing gut and immune system. Participants will receive a daily probiotic or placebo for about 6 weeks, and their health will be monitored.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT07162285Enrolling by invitation
Bubble CPAP for Preterm Babies with Breathing Problems
This trial tests a special breathing support called bubble CPAP, given right after birth in the delivery room, to help preterm babies (born before 34 weeks) who are having trouble breathing. It aims to see if starting this treatment early can improve their breathing and health.
DhakaAges 5 minutes–30 minutes - NCT07159555Recruiting
Neurofilament levels in late preterm newborns
This study looks at a substance in the blood called neurofilaments, which may help doctors understand early brain development in babies born a few weeks early. If your baby already needs a blood test, researchers will use a small extra sample to learn more.
LiègeAges Up to 3 weeks - 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+ - NCT06961123Recruiting
Long-term study of newborns with low Apgar scores
This research study is following newborns who had low Apgar scores shortly after birth to understand their health and development over time. It may help doctors better support babies who need extra care at birth.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT07143825Recruiting
Survey on small vulnerable newborns
This study collects information about newborns who are small, early, or low weight to better understand their health and how to help them.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06966752Recruiting
Comparing two breathing supports for preterm babies with breathing problems
This study compares two types of breathing support (CPAP and NIPPV) for preterm babies with breathing problems. It aims to find which method works better for helping babies breathe easier.
Vilnius, Vilnius CountyAges birth–10 months - NCT07102966Recruiting
Genetic study for babies with birth defects in Texas
This study looks for genetic causes of birth defects in newborn babies. If your baby has a suspected genetic condition and other tests haven't found a clear cause, this study may help find answers.
Houston, TexasAges 1 day–3 months - NCT07077148Recruiting
Swaddling or tucking for comfort on CPAP
This study tests whether gentle swaddling or a technique called 'facilitated tucking' (holding the baby in a curled, comfortable position) helps premature babies feel more comfortable while they are on nasal CPAP breathing support. The goal is to see if these simple comfort measures can reduce stress and improve care for late preterm infants.
RizeAges Any age - NCT06974994Recruiting
Antibiotic Use in Newborns and Gut Bacteria Health Study
This study explores how antibiotics given during delivery affect a baby's gut bacteria and long-term health. If you are pregnant or just gave birth and received antibiotics during labor, you and your newborn may be able to join.
Turku, Valitse Maakunta.Ages 2 hours+ - NCT06092463Recruiting
Immune system study in newborn intestines
This study looks at how the immune system develops in the intestines of newborns, including those born early or with a blocked intestine (atresia). It may help doctors understand inflammation and improve care for sick babies.
CopenhagenAges Up to 1 year - NCT06268444Recruiting
Infant sleep & chemical exposure in the environment
This study looks at how common chemicals in our environment (like those from plastics or pollution) may affect babies' sleep. It's for very young infants who are still drinking only milk, to help understand any links between these chemicals and sleep patterns.
AmiensAges Up to 6 months - NCT06747260RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Breast milk through the nose for HIE
This trial tests whether giving fresh breast milk through the nose is safe and possible for newborns with HIE (a brain injury from oxygen loss at birth) who are already receiving cooling therapy. It may help protect the brain and reduce injury.
BudapestAges Up to 2 days - NCT06984445Recruiting
Cord Blood Protein in Anemia Transfusion Study
This study measures a protein (S100B) in cord blood from babies who had or did not need a blood transfusion in the womb for hemolytic disease. It looks for possible markers of brain health.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT07049900Recruiting
Abdominal binder study for premature babies on breathing support
This study tests whether a soft abdominal binder can help premature babies who need breathing support breathe more comfortably and may reduce the time they need the support. It is for babies born very early who are expected to need CPAP for at least two weeks.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 5 months–7 months - NCT06332521Recruiting
Baby crying sounds as early brain development clues
This study records cries from full-term and premature newborns to see if crying patterns can predict brain development. It may lead to earlier detection of developmental issues.
Saint-EtienneAges Up to 4 days - NCT07029282RecruitingPhase 3
Vitamin supplement study for pregnant women and new moms
This trial tests a special vitamin supplement (MMSPlus) given before and after birth to improve baby growth. Pregnant women with a healthy single baby can join, and then continue after birth if they plan to breastfeed.

- 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.
