Recruiting studies
- NCT04047849RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotics for early water breaking before 23 weeks

Holbæk, HolbaekAges 16–48 - NCT03819933Recruiting
Family counseling support for very early preterm birth
This trial studies a better way to provide counseling to families when a baby is expected to be born very early (between about 22 and 25 weeks). It may help you and your partner feel more prepared for the NICU and what to expect next.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–99 - NCT05264779Recruiting
Decision help tool for very early delivery planning
This study tests a decision-support tool (a structured way to guide conversations) for parents facing a high risk of delivering very early (about 22–26 weeks). It may help you and your baby’s care team make clearer, more aligned choices about neonatal (newborn) treatment.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02744365Recruiting
Pregnancy complications biobank for future research
This study collects pregnancy-related samples and health information to help researchers learn more about conditions like preeclampsia and prematurity. Your participation may help future studies, but it usually involves whether you can safely consent and whether the pregnancy is continuing at the time of recruitment.
QuébecAges 18 years+ - NCT05763069Enrolling by invitation
Home monitoring for high-risk pregnancies
This study tests whether checking certain pregnancy warning signs at home (with monitoring technology) can help manage high-risk pregnancies. It may allow closer follow-up while you stay at home, aiming to improve safety and decision-making.
OsloAges 18–50 - NCT05246579Recruiting
Tracking ways to prevent preterm birth
This study looks at different care pathways to help lower the risk of preterm birth (birth too early). It will follow pregnant people with a singleton pregnancy to see which approaches may work best for preventing early delivery.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–45 - NCT06396078RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotics for Early Water Breaking Before Delivery
This study tests whether giving antibiotics to pregnant people with early water breaking (PPROM) before delivery improves outcomes. It aims to prevent infections and protect both parent and baby while waiting for delivery.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07758114Recruiting
Prenatal education on environmental exposures
This study provides education about everyday environmental exposures during pregnancy. It aims to help women make safer choices for their health and their baby's health.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06421506Recruiting
Giving surfactant through a thin tube in late preterm babies
This trial tests a less invasive way to give surfactant (a lung treatment) to babies born a few weeks early who need breathing help. It aims to see if this method works as well as standard care.
LondonAges 8 months–9 months - NCT05114096RecruitingPhase 4
One-time steroid shot to help babies stay healthier early
This trial studies whether giving a single steroid medicine shot during pregnancy can improve outcomes when preterm birth is at risk. The goal is to help the baby’s lungs and overall health before early delivery.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–55 - NCT02923973Recruiting
Ultrasound checks of cervical length after prior preterm birth
This study uses a vaginal ultrasound to measure cervical length in people who previously had a spontaneous preterm birth. It aims to understand who may be at higher risk, so screening and next steps can be better planned in future pregnancies.
NaplesAges 18–50 - NCT06687044Enrolling by invitation
Sleep therapy for better pregnancy outcomes
This study tests whether a sleep improvement therapy can help pregnant women (with one or two babies) by improving their sleep and pregnancy outcomes. It's for women who are early in their pregnancy and having sleep problems but are otherwise healthy.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–45 - NCT05651347RecruitingPhase 3
Melatonin in pregnancy to protect babies with slow growth
This trial studies whether taking melatonin during pregnancy can help protect the baby’s brain and organs in cases of poor fetal growth. It focuses on pregnancies at a specific gestational age with signs that the placenta may not be working well.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06264973Recruiting
Corticosteroids during pregnancy: how they work for mother and baby
This study looks at how corticosteroids (medicines given to help a baby's lungs mature) move through the mother's body and affect the baby during pregnancy. It aims to find the best dose and timing for mothers at risk of preterm birth.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06463652Recruiting
Cervical stitch with progesterone for short cervix
This trial tests whether adding a cervical stitch (cerclage) to progesterone treatment helps prevent early birth better than progesterone alone in women with a short cervix.
Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05968794Recruiting
Cervix stitch to help twin pregnancy with short cervix
This study tests whether placing a “cervix stitch” (cerclage) can reduce the risk of very early birth in twin pregnancies. It is for people whose cervix is shorter than expected or has started to open before 24 weeks.
AntwerpAges 16 years+ - NCT06826859RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Daily aspirin vs split dosing to prevent preeclampsia
This study compares taking a daily low-dose aspirin (a single pill) versus splitting the same dose into two smaller pills many hours apart to see which way better prevents preeclampsia in pregnant people who are at higher risk.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 16–55 - 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+ - NCT07119398RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two ways to start labor after water breaks early
This trial tests if adding a Foley bulb to oxytocin is better than oxytocin alone for inducing labor when your water has broken early (between 34 and 37 weeks). It aims to find the safest and most effective method to help you deliver.
Norfolk, VirginiaAges 18–50 - NCT02989025RecruitingPhase 2
Progesterone for some preterm preeclampsia pregnancies
This trial tests whether taking progesterone can improve outcomes for people with preeclampsia that is being managed without immediate delivery. It’s meant for pregnancies in a specific gestational age window and when both mother and baby are stable enough for “expectant management.”
Jackson, MississippiAges 18–45 - NCT05934318Recruiting
Arginine supplements to help prevent pregnancy complications
This study tests whether taking an arginine-based supplement during pregnancy can help lower the risk of bad pregnancy outcomes. You may be eligible if you are pregnant in the early-to-mid period and meet safety and location requirements.
KisumuAges 16–40 - NCT06234332Recruiting
Peking University Birth Cohort in Weifang
This study follows pregnant women and their families in Weifang to learn about health during pregnancy, birth, and early childhood. If you join, you, your husband, and your baby will be part of a long-term research project that tracks your health and development.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06720363Recruiting
Predicting baby's health during labor
This study uses information from a monitor that tracks your baby's heart rate during labor to see if we can better predict their well-being at birth. The goal is to improve care and ensure both you and your baby are safe.
