Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT05685745Recruiting
Hospital data collection for very early baby care
This study collects information from hospitals about babies born extremely early (22 to 23 weeks of pregnancy). It helps researchers understand what care happens and what outcomes occur, which can guide improvements in future care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–1 year - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06036446Recruiting
Late cerclage for preventing early birth in high-risk pregnancies
This trial tests if placing a stitch in the cervix (cerclage) between 24 and 27 weeks of pregnancy can help prevent preterm birth in women whose cervix is short. It may be an option for those who find out late in pregnancy that they are at risk.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–50 - NCT06521398Recruiting
Postpartum Care for Preterm NICU Babies
This study focuses on helping new mothers of preterm babies (born before 34 weeks) who are getting care in the NICU at HUP. It tests a program to support your transition home after giving birth, so you and your baby can thrive.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 16 years+ - NCT00063063Recruiting
Database for Very Low Birth Weight Newborns
This is a research database that collects health information from newborns born very early or very small at specialized hospital centers. Your baby's data helps researchers understand how to better care for premature and low-birth-weight infants.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 2 weeks - NCT00009633Recruiting
Follow-up care for very premature infants born at specialized hospitals
This study follows babies born very early (before 27 weeks of pregnancy) who were treated at specialized neonatal centers. Researchers track their health and development over time to better understand how to care for extremely premature infants.

What taking part in a premature birth study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
