Recruiting studies
- NCT06857539Recruiting
Assessing thinking and movement in high-risk infants
This study looks at how high-risk infants (especially those born early or with brain concerns) develop their thinking and movement skills over time, comparing them to healthy babies. The goal is to better understand and support their development.
CorkAges birth–4 months - NCT06847932Recruiting
AI ECG to detect early atrial fibrillation
This trial uses an artificial intelligence system to analyze your electrocardiogram (ECG) results and alert your care team if you might be developing atrial fibrillation. It aims to catch this common heart rhythm problem early, so you can get treatment sooner.
TaipeiAges 1 month–3 months - 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 - NCT04415203Recruiting
Treatment for frequent extra heartbeats using a simple patch
This trial tests a non-surgery treatment (using a skin patch) for people who have frequent extra heartbeats coming from the heart’s lower chambers. It’s meant to see whether the patch reduces symptoms or abnormal heart rhythm compared with usual care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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+ - 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.
Clermont-FerrandAges Up to 1 day - NCT05849077Recruiting
Testing oxygen saturation targets during newborn resuscitation
This study looks at the best oxygen saturation targets and resuscitation approach for very premature babies right after birth. It may help clinicians guide breathing support more safely in the first minutes of life.
Dallas, TexasAges birth–10 minutes - NCT05469984Recruiting
Two antibiotic plans for water breaking before labor
This trial compares two different “preventive” antibiotic schedules for pregnant people whose water breaks more than 18 hours before labor, or who go into preterm labor. The goal is to see which plan better helps mother and baby by reducing infection-related complications.
NahariyaAges 18–48 - NCT06007547RecruitingPhase 4
Preventive surfactant therapy for preterm babies
This trial tests whether giving surfactant (a foam that helps lungs stay open) before breathing problems start can help very premature babies (born before 30 weeks) breathe better. It might reduce the need for a breathing tube.
Evanston, IllinoisAges Up to 15 minutes - NCT05243043Recruiting
Help for mothers needing premature baby resuscitation
This trial tests an interactive phone or app-style tool to help mothers prepare for and understand what happens if their premature baby needs breathing support at birth. It may help you feel more informed and supported during a high-stress time.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–60 - NCT06681129Recruiting
Study of normal gut development in newborns
This study looks at how the intestines grow and develop in both premature and full-term babies. It involves collecting small tissue samples during a baby's already-planned surgery or scope procedure to better understand normal development and digestive diseases.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 2 years - NCT06643598Recruiting
Virtual and lived-experience support for newborns with brain challenges
This study tests whether a program that combines virtual support and a peer who has been through it can help parents of newborns with certain brain conditions. It is designed for families living in rural areas and aims to improve children's recovery.
Madison, WisconsinAges Up to 5 years - NCT06622902Recruiting
How flow changes affect CO2 in preemies on high-flow breathing support
This study watches how changing the flow of air through a breathing device (high-flow nasal cannula) affects carbon dioxide levels in preemies. It helps doctors learn the safest way to adjust breathing support for fragile infants.
HaifaAges Any age - NCT06605469Recruiting
Ejaculation and orgasm problems registry
This study creates a registry for men being treated for ejaculation or orgasm problems, and for their partners. It aims to collect information that could help improve care.
Orem, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06575881Recruiting
Genetic heart muscle disease and heart rhythm study
This study looks at the risk of a fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) in people with genetic heart muscle diseases. It tests whether having a specific genetic change affects the success of a heart ablation procedure.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06060548Recruiting
New heart monitor to help manage PVCs
This trial tests if a small heart monitor (ILR) made by Medtronic can help doctors better manage premature heartbeats (PVCs). If you already have this monitor, you may be able to join.
Overland Park, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06536296Recruiting
Music therapy for preterm brain development
This study tests if specially designed music can help premature babies' brains grow stronger and healthier. It is for very preterm infants born between 24 and 30 weeks of pregnancy.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 6 months–7 months - NCT06521398Recruiting
Postpartum Care for Preterm NICU Babies
This study focuses on helping new mothers of preterm babies (born before 34 weeks) who are getting care in the NICU at HUP. It tests a program to support your transition home after giving birth, so you and your baby can thrive.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 16 years+ - NCT06512935Recruiting
Ventilator study for preterm infants with lung recovery
This study tests a new way of setting the ventilator for preterm babies born before 34 weeks who are still on a breathing machine. It aims to improve lung healing and heart function by finding the best pressure settings. The results could help your baby breathe more comfortably.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 week–4 weeks - NCT06063122Recruiting
Device to help preterm babies tell speech sounds apart
This study tests a new device that plays special sounds to help preterm babies learn to tell different speech sounds apart. It is for babies born between 32 and 35 weeks of pregnancy to see if the device can improve their hearing and brain development.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 7 months–8 months - NCT06420531Recruiting
Milk and growth in very preterm babies

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 257 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.
