Lodz, Łódź VoivodeshipAges 6 months–7 months - 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 - NCT06727877Recruiting
Predicting bowel disease in premature babies using gut bacteria
This study looks at the gut bacteria of premature babies to see if changes can predict a serious bowel condition (ulcero-necrotizing enterocolitis). It aims to use artificial intelligence to help doctors catch it early.

Premature heart attack registry in Serbia
This trial is creating a registry of young adults (45 and under) who have had a heart attack. It will collect information to help doctors better understand and treat early heart attacks.
BelgradeAges 18–45 - NCT06788470RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell therapy for severe lung disease in premature babies
This trial tests whether umbilical cord stem cells can help premature babies with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (a chronic lung disease) who still need a breathing tube after standard hormone treatment. The goal is to see if it is safe and improves their lung condition.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 8 months+ - 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.

- 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.
