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 - NCT07366359Recruiting
Comparing two labor-starting medicines after water breaks early
This study compares two medicines to start labor after your water breaks early: one medicine (PGE2) is given first, then another (oxytocin), versus giving oxytocin alone. It aims to see which approach leads to a safer and smoother delivery.
Hanoi, HanoiAges 18 years+ - NCT07350018RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing Two Surfactants for Premature Babies With Breathing Problems
This trial compares two types of surfactant (Calfactant and Poractant Alfa) given through a less invasive method to very premature babies with breathing problems. It aims to see if one works better at helping them breathe without needing a breathing tube.
BursaAges birth–6 hours - NCT07344714Recruiting
Predicting breathing help needs for newborns in NICUs
This study looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 7 months–9 months - NCT07338370Recruiting
PGE2 levels and heart duct closure in preterm babies
This trial measures a substance called prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in preterm babies to see if it can predict whether a heart blood vessel (ductus arteriosus) will close on its own or need treatment. This could help doctors decide when to use medication to close the vessel.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 1 day–1 week - NCT05942924Recruiting
NEU-STIM for breathing support in very premature newborns
This trial studies whether NEU-STIM can help support breathing and oxygen levels in babies born very early. If your baby is born before 32 weeks, the study may include them after you provide consent.
GrazAges Up to 7 months - NCT07322731Recruiting
Massage for better sleep and comfort in preterm infants
This study tests whether gentle massage helps preterm babies sleep better, feel less stressed, and be more comfortable while in the NICU. It may improve their vital signs and overall well-being.
Van, TurkeyAges 2.9 years–3.1 years - NCT07307365Recruiting
Test for early labor risk in pregnant women
This trial tests a new kit (PremaSure) to see if it can accurately predict which pregnant women with early labor symptoms are at risk of delivering prematurely. It aims to help doctors make better decisions about monitoring and care.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT07307612RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
High-energy breast milk diets for extremely preterm infants
This trial tests whether feeding extremely premature babies (born at 28 weeks or earlier) a higher-energy breast milk diet in the first two weeks of life can reduce the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a serious lung condition. It aims to find a safe and effective way to support lung development in these tiny infants.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 day–3 days - NCT07306793Recruiting
Mouth care and meal timing for preterm infants ready to eat
This study tests whether a gentle mouth care routine combined with a special feeding schedule helps preterm babies start eating by mouth more quickly and gain weight. It is designed for stable preterm infants born at 29-33 weeks.
AydinAges 7 months–8 months - NCT06878742RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Finding the right dose of dobutamine for very preterm infants
This study is for very premature babies (born before 33 weeks) who have low blood flow from the heart. It tests different doses of dobutamine, a medicine that helps the heart pump stronger, to find the safest and most effective dose.
MadridAges Up to 3 days - NCT07295106Recruiting
Personalized music therapy for preterm babies
This trial tests whether specially selected music can help preterm infants in the NICU. It aims to improve their comfort and development during their hospital stay.
Perugia, PGAges 5 days–2 weeks - NCT07296003Recruiting
Motor development study in preterm and full-term babies
This study looks at how babies born early or on time develop their motor skills. Researchers will watch videos of your baby's early movements and then ask you to fill out a questionnaire about their development when they are 18 to 36 months old.
Pardubice, CzechiaAges Up to 3 years - NCT05858307Recruiting
Testing AMH blood levels for PCOS and POI patients
This study looks at how a blood test called AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) is used in people being seen for PCOS or POI (early ovarian failure). The goal is to understand whether AMH measurements are useful for care in clinics and fertility treatment settings.
Hong KongAges 10–44 - NCT04856501Recruiting
Parenting support for preterm toddlers’ brain and self-control
This study tests whether a responsive parenting program helps toddlers born early think, learn, and manage behavior more easily. It also checks whether families can complete toddler brain and behavior assessments (including brain scans).
Houston, TexasAges 1.3 years–2.5 years - NCT07251790Recruiting
Better breathing support for very preterm babies
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges birth+ - NCT07216053Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to predict breathing problems in late preterm babies
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 8 months–8 months - NCT07216664Recruiting
Early mouth care with human milk for very preterm babies
This study tests whether giving tiny amounts of human milk to the mouth early can help very preterm babies (born at 32 weeks or earlier) learn to feed better. It may reduce the time they need IV fluids or a feeding tube.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 5 months–7 months - NCT07201506Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided ablation for heart rhythm problems
This study uses a special ultrasound camera on a thin tube inside your heart (intracardiac echocardiography) to help doctors see the area causing your heart rhythm problem more clearly during the standard procedure (ablation). It may help them burn the wrong tissue more precisely.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07159555Recruiting
Neurofilament levels in late preterm newborns
This study looks at a substance in the blood called neurofilaments, which may help doctors understand early brain development in babies born a few weeks early. If your baby already needs a blood test, researchers will use a small extra sample to learn more.
LiègeAges Up to 3 weeks - NCT07152106Recruiting
Amniotic fluid and the preterm baby's gut
This study looks at the fluid around your baby (amniotic fluid) and how it might affect your baby's gut health if they are born early. It may help doctors understand how to better care for preterm infants.
AmsterdamAges 16 years+ - NCT07116525Recruiting
Study of heart mapping for abnormal rhythms
This trial tests a special catheter to map abnormal heart rhythms like ventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation. It may help patients who need a procedure to find and treat the source of these fast or irregular heartbeats.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT07120971RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Metformin study for premature babies with lung disease
This study tests whether metformin, a medicine used for diabetes, can help premature babies with chronic lung disease (bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or BPD) breathe better. It may reduce the need for breathing machines.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 1 week–6 months - 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.
