Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT07098910Recruiting
Surfactant therapy for premature babies with breathing problems
This trial tests whether giving surfactant (a substance that helps lungs stay open) to premature babies with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) through a mask on the throat (supraglottic airway) is safe and effective. It may be an option for babies who need extra oxygen but are not on a breathing tube.
HanoiAges Up to 2 days - NCT07088302Recruiting
Lactase enzyme for feeding intolerance in preterm babies
This trial tests if giving lactase enzyme supplements helps preterm babies (born at or before 32 weeks) tolerate their feedings better. If your baby was born early and started feeding within the first few days of life, this study may be a good fit.
AlexandriaAges 3 days–1 month - NCT04700826RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing stroke, death, and memory decline in atrial fibrillation
This trial looks at ways to help people with atrial fibrillation lower their risk of stroke, premature death, and worsening memory. It may help by identifying which prevention approach works best for a broader community of patients.
Birmingham, West MidlandsAges 55–73 - NCT07073352Recruiting
Childhood stress and blood vessel aging in young adults
This study looks at how childhood stress might affect blood vessels and aging in young adults. It tests if a certain protein (SIRT1) is linked to early blood vessel aging.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–30 - 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 - NCT07060573Recruiting
Parent-led mouth stimulation to help premature babies suck
This study tests if gentle mouth stimulation done by parents helps premature babies (around 34–36 weeks) learn to suck better. If your baby is stable and doesn’t have certain face or muscle conditions, this may help them feed sooner.
Guadalajara, JaliscoAges 8 months–8 months - NCT05835817Recruiting
Brain and nervous system scan using a magnetometer
This trial tests an imaging method that measures brain signals without using X-rays. It may help researchers understand brain activity in healthy adults, newborns, premature babies, and pregnant people by testing whether the scan can be done reliably and safely.
AmiensAges 1 day+ - 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 - NCT06332521Recruiting
Baby crying sounds as early brain development clues
This study records cries from full-term and premature newborns to see if crying patterns can predict brain development. It may lead to earlier detection of developmental issues.
Saint-EtienneAges Up to 4 days - NCT06500910Recruiting
Exercise for heart and brain health in premature children
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help children born prematurely (before 32 weeks) improve their heart health and thinking skills. It's designed for children ages 6 to 12 who are otherwise healthy and not receiving special education for attention problems.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 6–12 - NCT06982677Recruiting
Improving health in early menopause after cancer
This study looks at ways to improve health and well-being in young women who went into early menopause after cancer treatment. It might help you feel better and manage menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, sleep problems, or mood changes.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–44 - NCT06973174Recruiting
B. cereus infections in premature newborns
This study looks at a type of bacterial infection (Bacillus cereus) that can affect the blood or brain lining in premature babies. It helps doctors learn more about these infections so they can improve care.
Nice, Alpes MaritimesAges Up to 5 months - NCT06964152Enrolling by invitation
AI-Guided Mapping for Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze heart images and guide doctors during a procedure to stop dangerous fast heart rhythms called ventricular tachycardia.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 21–90 - NCT06965530Recruiting
Food support for pregnant patients with Medicaid
This trial provides medically tailored groceries to pregnant people who are food insecure. It tests whether better nutrition during pregnancy can improve health for you and your baby.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–55 - NCT06965842Enrolling by invitation
Video training guide for preterm infant development
This trial tests a video system to help guide development for preterm babies. It may help infants born very early or with very low birth weight who also have brain damage.
Seoul, Jongno-guAges Up to 1 month - NCT04270734Recruiting
Brain-wave study of hearing timing from babyhood to adulthood
This study looks at brain activity (brain waves) when babies hear sounds with timing, and how that changes with age. It may help researchers understand early brain development in hearing and processing sounds.
AmiensAges birth–1 day - 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 - NCT06938542Enrolling by invitation
Palliative care needs for kids with rare diseases
This study asks children with rare diseases and their families about what kind of palliative care (comfort and support) they need. It aims to understand how to better help families through their child's illness.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–99 - NCT04114435Recruiting
Heart and lung testing in extremely premature babies
This study looks at how the hearts and lungs work in babies born very early (before 29 weeks). It may help researchers understand why some babies develop breathing and heart circulation problems and how to measure their recovery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 1 week–5 years - NCT06026163RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Caffeine for breathing help in late preterm babies
This trial tests if giving caffeine to late preterm babies with breathing problems helps them need less breathing support. It could be an extra treatment alongside standard care.
Madinah, Medina RegionAges 1 day–3 days - NCT04445571Recruiting
Surfactant given with a thin tube or catheter device
This trial tests two ways of giving surfactant (a lung medicine) to very premature babies with respiratory distress syndrome. It may help show which method works better and is safer for helping newborn lungs breathe.
StockholmAges Up to 2 days - NCT06866119Recruiting
Estrogen and heart health in women with early menopause
This study looks at how estrogen therapy affects heart health in women with primary ovarian insufficiency (early menopause). Participants will take a standard estrogen patch and progesterone pill, and researchers will monitor their heart function over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30–40 - NCT06849596Recruiting
Breathing help for extremely premature babies at birth
This study compares two ways to help extremely premature babies breathe right after birth: using a manual T-piece or a ventilator. The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective.

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.
