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 - 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.

Pregnancy complications biobank for future research
This study collects pregnancy-related samples and health information to help researchers learn more about conditions like preeclampsia and prematurity. Your participation may help future studies, but it usually involves whether you can safely consent and whether the pregnancy is continuing at the time of recruitment.
QuébecAges 18 years+ - NCT03019692Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for babies with brain bleeding
This study follows newborns and premature babies who had bleeding in the brain (intra-cranial or within the brain’s fluid spaces). It looks at long-term outcomes to better understand what happens over time and support families with care planning.
Netanya, IsraelAges 1 hour–3 months - NCT07410858Recruiting
Virtual reality education for NICU parents
This study tests whether a virtual reality program can help parents learn about their baby's care in the NICU. If you join, you would use a VR headset to learn while your baby is in the hospital.
Ismailia, Ismailia, Egypt.Ages 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07517796RecruitingPhase 4
IV Papaverine to Help Induce Labor in Pregnancies with Broken Water
This study tests whether an IV medication called papaverine can help induce labor in pregnant people at term (37+ weeks) whose water has broken but labor hasn't started yet. The goal is to see if this medication makes labor start naturally and reduces the need for cesarean delivery.
Nahariya, IsraelAges 18–45 - NCT07652684RecruitingPhase 4
Fat supplement to help premature babies' lungs
This study tests whether adding a special fat supplement to the feeding of very premature babies can help prevent or reduce lung damage, which is common in babies born early. The supplement is given through a feeding tube.
ThessalonikiAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07503769Enrolling by invitation
Dual-energy cardiac ablation for ventricular arrhythmia
This study tests a new method using two types of energy to treat a fast heartbeat coming from the lower heart chambers. It is designed for people whose symptoms have not been controlled by medication and who do not have other serious heart conditions.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07490834Enrolling by invitation
Long-term nutrition after necrotizing enterocolitis in preemies
This study looks at how necrotizing enterocolitis (a serious gut infection) affects the long-term nutrition of premature babies. If your baby was born early and had this condition, participating could help doctors understand its lasting effects.
Nancy, LorraineAges Any age - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT06830226Enrolling by invitation
Domperidone and preterm breast milk nutrients
This study looks at how domperidone, a medicine used to help increase breast milk supply, affects the nutritional content of breast milk from mothers of premature babies. By understanding this, doctors can better support your baby's growth.
LisbonAges Any age - NCT06823115Enrolling by invitation
Worldwide study of kidney injury in newborns
This study looks at how common acute kidney injury is in newborns in the intensive care unit. It helps doctors understand which babies are at risk and how to prevent kidney problems.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth–2 weeks - NCT06747013Enrolling by invitation
Focused pulse field ablation for ventricular tachycardia
This trial tests a new way to treat rapid heartbeats from the lower chambers (ventricles) using a special catheter that delivers short electrical pulses to stop the abnormal signals. It may help people with extra beats (PVCs) or a fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that needs treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05763069Enrolling by invitation
Home monitoring for high-risk pregnancies
This study tests whether checking certain pregnancy warning signs at home (with monitoring technology) can help manage high-risk pregnancies. It may allow closer follow-up while you stay at home, aiming to improve safety and decision-making.
OsloAges 18–50 - NCT05698836Enrolling by invitation
Health check study for preterm- and term-born children

OxfordAges 3–9 - NCT05410340Enrolling by invitation
EEG and near-infrared testing in newborns
This study checks how newborn brains respond by using painless sensors on the head. It focuses on babies during their first month after birth, to help researchers understand early brain function and development.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 1 week–1 month - NCT05313464Enrolling by invitation
Parental feeding by tube to improve parent-child interaction
This study looks at whether giving a child nutrition through a tube affects how parents and children interact. The goal is to see if the feeding approach helps parent-child connection and daily interaction.
Créteil, Val-deMarneAges 7 months–7 months - NCT04893278Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality during an EP heart procedure
This trial tests whether a virtual reality experience in a heart testing lab (during an electrophysiology procedure) is safe and workable for patients. It may help the care team learn if virtual reality can make the lab experience easier for some people.

Heparin medicine for early slow fetal growth in one pregnancy
This study tests whether a blood-thinner medicine (LMWH) can improve outcomes for people carrying a singleton baby with early signs of slow growth. It compares LMWH against standard care to see if treatment helps the baby and pregnancy stay safer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for prematurity?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 265 recruiting prematurity 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 prematurity 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 prematurity 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.
