Recruiting studies
- NCT04380051Recruiting
Sensory touch therapy to help parents bond with very preterm babies
This study tests whether a gentle sensory “stimulation” approach can improve how parents and very preterm babies interact and support the baby’s social development. If you qualify, you and your baby would be asked to take part so researchers can see whether this early intervention helps bonding and social skills.
ReimsAges Up to 1 day - NCT07192393Recruiting
Impact of early birth and NEC on family life and finances
This study looks at how having a very early baby (before 30 weeks) and a serious bowel problem called NEC affects your family's quality of life and finances. Parents will share their experiences through surveys.
Norwich, NorfolkAges Up to 7 months - NCT05011149RecruitingPhase 3
Medicine for early treatment of a leaking heart vessel
This trial studies whether giving medicine soon can help preterm babies with a patent ductus arteriosus (a temporary leaking blood vessel in the heart). It aims to see if early treatment improves outcomes for very early gestational age infants.
Orange, CaliforniaAges Up to 3 days - NCT07101640RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Montelukast study for breathing problems in premature infants
This trial tests if the medicine montelukast can help very premature babies on breathing machines. It aims to see if it improves lung development and makes it easier for them to breathe on their own.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 1 week–4 weeks - NCT07109856Recruiting
A new tool to predict infection in newborns
This study tests a simple non-invasive score that uses blood flow in muscles to predict if a newborn has or will develop high inflammation levels (C-reactive protein). It may help doctors start treatment earlier in babies with breathing problems.
Graz, StyriaAges birth–6 hours - NCT06803069Recruiting
Why newborns lose heat and how to prevent it
This study looks at why some babies, especially premature ones, have trouble keeping warm (hypothermia). It has two parts: one for babies in the neonatal ICU and one for infants under 2 having surgery. The goal is to find better ways to keep them safe and warm.
Pécs, BaranyaAges Up to 2 years - NCT07391527Recruiting
Preterm infant development check at age 5
This study checks how preterm babies are developing when they turn 5 years old. It helps doctors understand any delays or health needs early.
České Budějovice, Czech RepublicAges 5–5 - NCT05347238Recruiting
Dopamine or norepinephrine for low blood pressure in very preterm babies
This trial compares two common medicines—dopamine versus norepinephrine—to treat low blood pressure in very preterm babies who have suspected or confirmed late-onset bloodstream infection (sepsis). It may help doctors find which medicine works better and more safely for this specific situation.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 5 months–7 months - NCT05063149RecruitingPhase 3
Preemie immune treatment to prevent lung infections and wheezing
This study tests whether a bacterial “lysate” medicine, given to preterm babies, can reduce respiratory (lung) infections and wheezing. It may help protect babies’ airways during the vulnerable first months after birth.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 1 month–2 months - NCT06857539Recruiting
Assessing thinking and movement in high-risk infants
This study looks at how high-risk infants (especially those born early or with brain concerns) develop their thinking and movement skills over time, comparing them to healthy babies. The goal is to better understand and support their development.
CorkAges birth–4 months - NCT06265363Recruiting
Eye screening study for heavier or older premature babies
This study looks at how often premature babies weighing more than 1500 grams or born at 33 weeks or later get a serious eye condition called ROP (retinopathy of prematurity). It aims to find out what puts these babies at risk and what happens to them, helping doctors improve screening guidelines.
AnkaraAges 4 weeks+ - NCT07413900Recruiting
Brain injury study for babies and toddlers
This study looks at biomarkers (biological signs) in infants who had a brain injury around birth or were born very early, and compares them with healthy babies. The goal is to learn more about brain injuries and recovery.
Madison, WisconsinAges 3 months–2 years

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for premature infant?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 108 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.
