Recruiting studies
- NCT07699666Recruiting
Cord clamping timing for preterm babies
This study compares waiting a bit before clamping the umbilical cord versus clamping it right away for babies born between 32 and 37 weeks of pregnancy. It helps determine which approach may be better for preterm infants.
Tunis, Tunis GovernorateAges birth+ - NCT05114096RecruitingPhase 4
One-time steroid shot to help babies stay healthier early
This trial studies whether giving a single steroid medicine shot during pregnancy can improve outcomes when preterm birth is at risk. The goal is to help the baby’s lungs and overall health before early delivery.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–55 - NCT06351202Recruiting
Abdominal massage for feeding issues in preemies
This study tests whether gentle tummy massage can help premature babies in the NICU who have trouble digesting feedings. If your baby qualifies, they will receive daily massages to see if it improves feeding and comfort.
Clermont-FerrandAges 3 days–2 months - NCT06957769Recruiting
How rising temperatures affect mothers and babies
This study looks at how higher temperatures during pregnancy might affect your health and your baby's health. By joining, you'll help researchers understand how climate change may impact pregnancy outcomes.
Matiari, SindhAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT02744365Recruiting
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+ - NCT07490912Recruiting
Neonatal data and biobank study for preterm infants
This study collects health information and biological samples from very premature babies to understand what affects their development. It may help researchers find ways to improve care and outcomes for infants like yours.
Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05170633Recruiting
Warming treatment for very preterm babies after blood transfusion
This study looks at whether a specific “blood warming” approach can help very preterm babies keep their body temperature from getting too low (hypothermia). It’s intended to reduce temperature drops around the time they receive red blood cell transfusions.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07025954Recruiting
Delivery at 36 vs. 37 weeks for placenta previa with accreta
This trial compares delivering at 36 weeks versus 37 weeks for pregnant women with a condition called placenta previa with accreta, where the placenta covers the cervix and grows too deeply into the womb. The goal is to find the best time for delivery to improve safety for both mother and baby.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–45 - NCT05264779Recruiting
Decision help tool for very early delivery planning
This study tests a decision-support tool (a structured way to guide conversations) for parents facing a high risk of delivering very early (about 22–26 weeks). It may help you and your baby’s care team make clearer, more aligned choices about neonatal (newborn) treatment.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06385366Enrolling by invitation
Using early blood test to predict pregnancy complications
This study looks at a blood test done early in pregnancy (NIPT) to see if it can help predict conditions like preeclampsia, preterm labor, or gestational diabetes. If you had this test and had a healthy pregnancy or one of these complications, you may be able to join.
Ho Chi Minh City, Hồ Chí MinhAges 18–80 - NCT06110143Recruiting
Gum health and pregnancy complications study
This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) during pregnancy might affect pregnancy outcomes. It may help you if you have gum disease and want to learn more about its impact on your pregnancy.
Holbæk, HolbaekAges 16–48 - NCT06980025RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin dose trial to prevent preterm birth
This study tests if a higher dose of aspirin can help prevent another early delivery in women who have had a preterm birth before. If you qualify, you would take either a standard or escalated dose of aspirin during your current pregnancy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 14 years+ - NCT06264973Recruiting
Corticosteroids during pregnancy: how they work for mother and baby
This study looks at how corticosteroids (medicines given to help a baby's lungs mature) move through the mother's body and affect the baby during pregnancy. It aims to find the best dose and timing for mothers at risk of preterm birth.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05960929RecruitingPhase 3
Breathing support for premature babies with lung distress
This Phase 3 trial tests whether InfasurfAero™ (a type of surfactant given as aerosol) works better than a sham treatment in preterm babies with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). It aims to improve breathing in the first hours of life for babies who need CPAP.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 7 months–8 months - NCT05030337Recruiting
Closed-loop oxygen control for very preterm babies on ventilators
This trial tests a computer-guided (“closed-loop”) oxygen control system for very preterm babies who need breathing support. It aims to keep oxygen levels safer and more consistent than standard care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for preterm birth complication?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 16 recruiting preterm birth complication 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 preterm birth complication 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 preterm birth complication 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.
