Recruiting studies
- NCT06994494Recruiting
Noninvasive blood pressure monitoring for newborns using light sensors
This trial tests a new noninvasive method to monitor blood pressure in newborns using light sensors on the scalp. It aims to understand if this device, called FlexNIRS, can accurately track blood pressure without needing an arterial line or frequent cuff measurements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 6 months–10 months - 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 - NCT06697951Recruiting
Testing the Neovent breathing device for newborns
This study tests a simple breathing machine called the Neovent for newborns with mild to moderate breathing trouble in hospitals with limited resources. It aims to see if the device can help babies breathe easier without needing a breathing tube.
Tānsen, Palpa DistrictAges 1 minute–4 weeks - NCT06963450Recruiting
Screening jaundice in newborns with a smartphone app
This trial tests a smartphone app that checks for jaundice in newborns. The goal is to see if the app works well for on-the-spot screening, which could help parents and doctors detect jaundice early.
LondonAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT06957769Recruiting
How rising temperatures affect mothers and babies
This study looks at how higher temperatures during pregnancy might affect your health and your baby's health. By joining, you'll help researchers understand how climate change may impact pregnancy outcomes.
Matiari, SindhAges 18 years+ - NCT06940713Recruiting
Brain imaging study for newborn infants
This study uses a safe, non-invasive ultrasound technique to measure brain activity in newborn babies. It aims to understand brain development and connectivity in preterm infants, infants with birth-related oxygen deprivation, growth-restricted babies, siblings of children with autism, and healthy full-term babies.
ParisAges Up to 5 months - NCT06923319Enrolling by invitation
Learning curve for vaginal birth on a mannequin
This trial studies how quickly doctors learn to use different tools for vaginal delivery by practicing on a mannequin. It may help improve training for residents and specialists.
Chieti, CHAges 24–70 - NCT06026163RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Caffeine for breathing help in late preterm babies
This trial tests if giving caffeine to late preterm babies with breathing problems helps them need less breathing support. It could be an extra treatment alongside standard care.
Madinah, Medina RegionAges 1 day–3 days - NCT06832163Recruiting
Smart weaning from inhaled nitric oxide for newborns with PPHN
This trial tests a new, smart way to slowly reduce (wean) the inhaled nitric oxide gas that helps babies with a serious lung condition called PPHN. If your baby is already responding well to iNO and needs it for at least 24 hours, this study might help make the weaning process safer and more effective.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT06797206Recruiting
CF in pregnancy and child health study
This study follows women with cystic fibrosis (CF) during pregnancy and after birth, and checks on their babies and young children. The goal is to learn more about how CF affects pregnancy and child development.
LondonAges Any age - NCT06762795Recruiting
Gene study for newborns with HIE on cooling therapy
This study uses whole genome sequencing to look at the genes of newborns with HIE (brain injury from lack of oxygen) who are receiving cooling treatment. The goal is to learn more about how genes may affect recovery and outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges birth–1 year - NCT06007547RecruitingPhase 4
Preventive surfactant therapy for preterm babies
This trial tests whether giving surfactant (a foam that helps lungs stay open) before breathing problems start can help very premature babies (born before 30 weeks) breathe better. It might reduce the need for a breathing tube.
Evanston, IllinoisAges Up to 15 minutes - NCT06702241RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Light therapy for newborn jaundice
This trial tests different ways to give light therapy to newborns with jaundice. It compares different approaches to see which is best, and may help parents understand the most effective treatment for their baby.
AalborgAges 1 day–2 weeks - NCT06425471Recruiting
Testing a fetoscope for in-utero surgery
This study looks at using a special curved or straight scope (fetoscope) to perform surgery on a baby while it is still in the womb. If you are pregnant and your baby needs this kind of surgery, you may be able to take part.
Houston, TexasAges 18–45 - NCT06676904Recruiting
Platelet transfusion study for very preterm babies
This study looks at the best way to decide when to give platelet transfusions to very premature babies. It aims to help prevent bleeding while avoiding unnecessary transfusions.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 hour–2 days - NCT06679972Enrolling by invitation
Impact of pregnancy liver condition on baby's breathing
This study looks at how a pregnancy liver condition (intrahepatic cholestasis) affects the baby's breathing after birth. It compares newborns whose mothers had this condition (and took medication for it) with newborns whose mothers did not have any liver issues during pregnancy.
Bucharest, BucharestAges 1 hour–4 weeks - NCT06635174Enrolling by invitation
Sugar water for pain relief before infant catheter
This study tests if giving a small amount of sugar water (50% dextrose) by mouth can help reduce pain in babies who need a bladder catheter. It might be a gentler way to comfort infants during this procedure.
Muscat, Muḩāfaz̧at MasqaţAges 1 day–3 months - NCT06568315RecruitingPhase 3
Calcium plus multivitamins for mother and baby
This study tests whether taking a daily multivitamin with calcium, in addition to standard prenatal vitamins, improves iron levels and health for you and your baby. You would switch from your usual iron folic acid pills to the study supplements.
OuagadougouAges 15 years+ - NCT06535074Recruiting
Monitoring lung function in preterm babies with low oxygen
This study looks at how well a non-invasive device can monitor lung function in preterm babies who have frequent drops in their oxygen levels (hypoxemia). The goal is to help doctors better track and care for these babies.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT06512935Recruiting
Ventilator study for preterm infants with lung recovery
This study tests a new way of setting the ventilator for preterm babies born before 34 weeks who are still on a breathing machine. It aims to improve lung healing and heart function by finding the best pressure settings. The results could help your baby breathe more comfortably.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 week–4 weeks - NCT06446453Recruiting
Lung Ultrasound-Guided Surfactant For Preterm Infants
This study tests whether giving surfactant medication guided by a lung ultrasound, instead of by X-ray, helps preterm babies with breathing problems get better without needing a breathing tube. Babies in the study receive surfactant through a thin tube while still on non-invasive breathing support.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges birth–2 hours - NCT06431698Recruiting
Correcting ear shapes in newborns: comparing two methods
This trial tests two different ways to mold and fix ear deformities in newborns. If successful, your baby could have a more normally shaped ear without surgery.

- 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.
