We’re tracking 8 recruiting premature birth studies with a site in Texas — including Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- 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.
San Antonio, TexasAges birth–1 year - NCT06555315Recruiting
Iron study for premature babies
This study tests if giving iron every other day works as well as giving it every day for premature babies. It aims to make iron treatment easier for babies and families.
San Antonio, TexasAges 6 months–7 months - NCT06723067Recruiting
Wearable breast pump study for mothers of premature babies
This study tests if wearable, wireless breast pumps help mothers of premature infants express milk more often and effectively. Participants will be randomly assigned to use either a wearable pump or a standard hospital pump.
Austin, TexasAges Any age - 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.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04856501Recruiting
Parenting support for preterm toddlers’ brain and self-control
This study tests whether a responsive parenting program helps toddlers born early think, learn, and manage behavior more easily. It also checks whether families can complete toddler brain and behavior assessments (including brain scans).
Houston, TexasAges 1.3 years–2.5 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.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 2 weeks - 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.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 1.5 years–2.2 years

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.

Common questions
- Are there premature birth clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting premature birth studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a premature birth study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a premature birth trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
