Recruiting studies
- NCT06261398Recruiting
Better pregnancy outcomes with text support
This trial uses text messages and education to help improve pregnancy outcomes for women who are less than 21 weeks pregnant. It's designed for patients receiving care at certain Ohio State University clinics.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06545760Recruiting
Kangaroo mother care study and postpartum depression
This study looks at whether keeping mothers and their preterm babies together through kangaroo mother care (skin-to-skin contact) can help reduce postpartum depression. It is for mothers and fathers of newborns who are in the NICU and meet certain weight and age requirements.
LusakaAges 1 day–89 years - NCT06776783RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new surfactant for breathing problems in premature babies
This study tests a new medicine called APC-0101, a type of surfactant, for premature babies with breathing problems (respiratory distress syndrome). It may help their lungs work better and reduce the need for more breathing support.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 1 hour–1 day - NCT06526091Recruiting
Monitoring brain oxygen during cord care for preterm babies
This study looks at how we hold and manage the umbilical cord right after birth in preterm babies (born before 34 weeks). It uses a special monitor on the baby's head to check oxygen levels in the brain while doctors decide the best way to care for the cord.
LondonAges 1 minute–1 day - NCT06807203Recruiting
Baby voice and movement study in the NICU
This study observes how babies born early or full-term move and make sounds in the hospital. It may help doctors understand early development better.
Columbus, OhioAges Up to 1 week - 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 - NCT07262060RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney problems in preterm babies with caffeine
This study tests whether giving caffeine to very premature babies can help protect their kidneys as they grow. We will use a special light monitor on the skin to check blood flow to the brain and kidneys.
Madison, WisconsinAges 12 hours–4 days - NCT04720690Recruiting
Monitoring body water and blood flow in newborns
This study tests how well simple, harmless sensors and cuff checks work to monitor circulation and body water in newborns. It may help clinicians understand what “normal” looks like in both term and preterm babies, including some smaller babies.
LondonAges Up to 6 months

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pre term birth?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 8 recruiting pre term birth 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 pre term birth 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 pre term birth 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.
