Recruiting studies

Catania, SicilyAges birth–3 years - NCT07859020Recruiting
AI-assisted diagnosis of fast heart rhythms from ECG
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze ECG recordings and help identify the exact type and location of fast heart rhythms (tachycardia). It may improve the accuracy and speed of diagnosis for conditions like supraventricular tachycardia, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, premature ventricular contractions, and ventricular tachycardia.
Incheon, IncheonAges 19 years+ - NCT04430790RecruitingPhase 3
Doxapram for apnea in very preterm babies on breathing support
This trial studies whether the medicine doxapram can better treat breathing pauses (apnea) in very preterm babies who are already on breathing support in the NICU. It aims to reduce the need for extra interventions and improve outcomes in this high-risk group.
Brussels, Avenaue Hippocrate 10Ages 5 months–7 months - NCT06368154Recruiting
Studying early markers for brittle bones in newborns
This trial looks for tiny particles in the blood that might help doctors detect bone weakness in premature babies. It aims to find early signs of metabolic bone disease, which could lead to better care.
Changsha, HunanAges birth–3 days - NCT05740579Recruiting
Storing eggs in teens with Turner syndrome variants
This study looks at freezing and storing eggs (cryopreservation) in children and teens with Turner syndrome or related genetic variants. It may help preserve the chance of having biological children later, if you are able to undergo the study procedures safely.
AarhusAges 2–17 - NCT07844876Recruiting
Improving pregnancy problem prediction for African mothers
This study looks at improving how doctors predict pregnancy problems in African women. It will follow first-time mothers early in pregnancy to find better ways to keep you and your baby safe.
KampalaAges 18 years+ - NCT07826533Recruiting
Intravenous papaverine for term prelabour rupture of membranes
This study tests whether giving papaverine through a vein can help start labour in women whose water has broken but who are not yet having contractions. Papaverine is a medicine that relaxes smooth muscles, which may help the cervix prepare for delivery.
HolonAges Any age - NCT07802041Enrolling by invitation
Early induction vs waiting for labor after water breaks
This trial compares inducing labor soon after your water breaks to waiting and seeing if labor starts on its own. It aims to find the safest approach for you and your baby.
IslamabadAges 18–45 - NCT06520410RecruitingPhase 4
Short vitrectomy tool for children's eye surgery
This trial tests a shorter, 18-millimeter tool for vitrectomy surgery in children. It aims to see if this smaller tool is safe and works well for treating various eye problems in kids.
TaoyuanAges birth–18 years - NCT07792083Recruiting
Amniotic fluid study for short cervix or early water break
This study looks at the fluid around the baby (amniotic fluid) in women with a short cervix or with early breaking of the water (premature rupture of membranes). The goal is to better understand these conditions and possibly improve care.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT07775391RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell infusion for early menopause
This trial tests whether a single infusion of stem cells made from human umbilical cord tissue can help women with premature ovarian insufficiency (early menopause) by improving ovarian function and reducing menopause symptoms. Participants will continue their usual hormone replacement therapy during the study.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–40 - NCT05609877Recruiting
Testing LISA breathing treatment for very preterm newborns
This trial is studying whether giving a lung “surfactant” medicine through a thin tube (called LISA) helps very premature babies with breathing problems. It aims to see if this approach improves care for babies born around 24 to 30 weeks gestation who still need oxygen support.
AalborgAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07716813Recruiting
Breast milk or sugar water for pain during heel prick in babies
This study tests whether giving breast milk or sugar water (10% or 20% dextrose) just before a routine heel prick can reduce pain and keep your baby's heart rate and oxygen levels more stable. It is designed for moderately premature babies in the NICU.
MersinAges 7 months–3.1 years - NCT06642285Recruiting
Preventing nasal injuries in preterm babies on breathing support
This study tests if using special care steps can prevent nose sores in preterm babies who need breathing support through a mask or nasal prongs. It may help protect your baby's delicate nose from injury.
Kafr ash Shaykh, Kafr el-Sheikh GovernorateAges 7 months–9 months - NCT05030337Recruiting
Closed-loop oxygen control for very preterm babies on ventilators
This trial tests a computer-guided (“closed-loop”) oxygen control system for very preterm babies who need breathing support. It aims to keep oxygen levels safer and more consistent than standard care.
LondonAges Any age - 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+ - NCT07667049RecruitingPhase 1
Gut health study for preterm infants
This study looks at how the gut works in premature babies to better understand digestion and health. It may help improve care for newborns born early.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Up to 4 days - NCT07656467Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for premature?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 257 recruiting premature 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 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 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.
