Recruiting studies
- NCT07216664Recruiting
Early mouth care with human milk for very preterm babies
This study tests whether giving tiny amounts of human milk to the mouth early can help very preterm babies (born at 32 weeks or earlier) learn to feed better. It may reduce the time they need IV fluids or a feeding tube.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 5 months–7 months - NCT07045402Recruiting
Developmental care for preterm infants: comfort, growth, and feeding
This study tests whether a special care program including skin-to-skin contact and storytelling helps preterm babies feel more comfortable, grow better, and learn to feed by mouth sooner. It compares this extra care to the usual hospital care.
IstanbulAges 7 months–8 months - NCT06399861Recruiting
Humidity in incubators for very premature babies
This study looks at how different humidity levels in incubators affect very premature babies born before 25 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to find the best conditions to help their delicate skin and overall health.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth–1 day - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth–1 year - NCT06212427Recruiting
Preterm infant formula with human milk sugars
This study tests a special supplement added to preterm infant feeding. The supplement contains beneficial sugars found in breast milk, which may help babies digest better and grow. It is for premature babies who have started small feedings but are not yet fully feeding.
LinzAges birth–2 weeks - NCT04685356Recruiting
Testing IBAIP for brain development in very preterm babies
This study looks at whether the IBAIP program can improve neurodevelopment (how the brain grows and works) in babies born very early. Babies are included only if they have a normal early neurological exam after being “corrected for prematurity.”
AngersAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07552025Recruiting
Sound monitoring to detect breathing problems in very premature babies
This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
Montreal, QuebecAges Up to 7 months - NCT07656467Enrolling by invitation
Masseter muscle thickness and feeding in preterm infants
This study uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of a jaw muscle that helps with sucking, to see if it relates to how well preterm babies learn to bottle-feed.
Lodz, Łódź VoivodeshipAges 6 months–7 months - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1.5 years–2.2 years - NCT07324941Recruiting
EEG and caffeine timing in premature infants
This study uses EEG brain scans to find the best time to stop caffeine treatment in premature babies. Caffeine is given to help with breathing, and the goal is to see if brain activity can guide when to safely stop it.
BursaAges Up to 1 month - NCT05340582RecruitingPhase 2
Ibuprofen plus acetaminophen for a heart condition in very premature babies
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving ibuprofen together with acetaminophen improves outcomes for an important heart connection (PDA) in extremely premature infants. It compares how this medicine approach affects the baby’s heart-related measurements and short-term progress.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges Up to 6 months - NCT04270045Recruiting
Breathing test in babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia
This trial studies a breathing measurement test (forced oscillometry) in babies who were born early and have bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a long-term lung condition. It may help doctors better understand how babies’ lungs are working and guide future care.
Kansas City, MissouriAges Any age - NCT07616778Recruiting
Study of Babies Born at 22 Weeks Gestation
This study follows babies born at exactly 22 weeks of pregnancy (very early, before typical viability) who were cared for in a hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand outcomes and care practices for these extremely premature infants.
Middlesbrough, TeesideAges Any age - NCT06726226Recruiting
Extremely preterm infant lung health study
This study follows the breathing and lung health of very early preterm babies (born before 29 weeks) for two years. It helps doctors understand and improve long-term respiratory care for these tiny infants.
SeoulAges Up to 1 week - NCT05989438Recruiting
Different therapy models for premature babies based on the ICF biopsychosocial model
This trial compares different therapy approaches for premature babies. It aims to help with their development using the ICF biopsychosocial model, which looks at health from many angles.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 4 months–2 years - NCT07350018RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing Two Surfactants for Premature Babies With Breathing Problems
This trial compares two types of surfactant (Calfactant and Poractant Alfa) given through a less invasive method to very premature babies with breathing problems. It aims to see if one works better at helping them breathe without needing a breathing tube.
BursaAges birth–6 hours - NCT07060833Recruiting
Sound to check breathing pressure in premature babies on bubble CPAP
This study is testing whether the sound of the bubbles in a CPAP machine can tell doctors how much pressure is being delivered to a premature baby's lungs. If it works, this could help doctors make sure babies are getting the right amount of breathing support without extra procedures.
Montreal, QuebecAges 6 months–7 months - NCT05417542Recruiting
Study how young brains hear rhythms
This study looks at how babies’ brains process rhythm and sound. It may help researchers understand early brain development, especially from premature birth through infancy.
AmiensAges birth–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 - NCT04294368Recruiting
Fortifying donor breast milk for very premature babies
This study tests whether adding extra nutrition (fortifying) to donated breast milk helps very premature infants grow better and safely. You might be offered a fortified donor milk feeding plan if your baby meets the timing and medical criteria.
New York, New YorkAges 1 day–3 weeks - NCT07251790Recruiting
Better breathing support for very preterm babies
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges birth+ - NCT07550218Recruiting
Surfactant Delivery Methods for Premature Babies with Breathing Problems
This study looks at different ways doctors give a life-saving medication called surfactant to premature babies who are struggling to breathe. Researchers want to understand which delivery methods work best and help improve care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for premature infant?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 103 recruiting premature infant 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 premature infant 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 premature infant 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.
