Recruiting studies
- NCT06278961Recruiting
Filming Baby Movements at Home
This study will record your baby's natural movements using a home video taken on your smartphone. It aims to learn how babies learn to move, whether they are healthy or have certain medical conditions.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 2 months–5 months - NCT06234332Recruiting
Peking University Birth Cohort in Weifang
This study follows pregnant women and their families in Weifang to learn about health during pregnancy, birth, and early childhood. If you join, you, your husband, and your baby will be part of a long-term research project that tracks your health and development.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07656467Enrolling by invitation
Masseter muscle thickness and feeding in preterm infants
This study uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of a jaw muscle that helps with sucking, to see if it relates to how well preterm babies learn to bottle-feed.
Lodz, Łódź VoivodeshipAges 6 months–7 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 - 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 - NCT06688695Recruiting
Parent support for preterm infant development using e-health
This trial uses a special program to help parents of preterm babies learned responsive parenting through an e-health tool. It aims to support your baby's brain development by giving you practical tips and guidance from home.
Falun, Dalarna CountyAges birth–4 months - NCT06870981Recruiting
Optimizing nutrition and milk in infants (Opti-NuM)
This study looks at stored information and samples from babies who were part of earlier MaxiMoM nutrition trials. It aims to learn more about how nutrition and milk feeding affect infant health.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1 hour–3 weeks - NCT07561125RecruitingPhase 2
IVIG for lung disease in very preterm infants
This trial tests whether giving intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) early after birth can help prevent or treat a serious lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in babies born at 28 weeks or earlier. It may help reduce the need for breathing support and oxygen.
ShanghaiAges 1 day–2 months - NCT06833554Recruiting
Breast milk cells and infant health in mothers with metabolic conditions
This trial studies how special cells in breast milk from mothers with metabolic diseases (like obesity or diabetes) affect infant development and lung infection response after a nutritional intervention. It aims to understand if improving mother's diet can strengthen baby's immune system.
Málaga, MalagaAges 18–50 - NCT05266664Recruiting
Studying immune development in preterm and vaccinated full-term babies
This study looks at how babies’ immune systems develop in early life and how they respond to immunization. It compares preterm infants with full-term infants whose mothers received Tdap during pregnancy, to learn what protection and immune responses to expect.
BredaAges 1 day–2 months - 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 - NCT04380051Recruiting
Sensory touch therapy to help parents bond with very preterm babies
This study tests whether a gentle sensory “stimulation” approach can improve how parents and very preterm babies interact and support the baby’s social development. If you qualify, you and your baby would be asked to take part so researchers can see whether this early intervention helps bonding and social skills.
ReimsAges Up to 1 day - NCT06521918Recruiting
Remote motor screening for infants using app and AI
This study tests whether a mobile app with artificial intelligence can help screen motor development in infants. It may offer a convenient way for parents and clinicians to track development at home between check-ups.
Taipei, Taiwan, 100Ages 2 months–1.5 years - NCT07280104Recruiting
Infants with congenital hypothyroidism and development
This study looks at how babies with primary congenital hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone from birth) grow and develop after being treated. It helps doctors understand if treatment helps them reach normal milestones.
NiğdeAges 6 months–1.5 years - NCT06876935Recruiting
Avocado for healthy growth in Hispanic infants
This study tests if feeding avocado to Hispanic infants when they start solids helps their gut health and development. We need families who are ready to offer avocado regularly for about 6 months, starting when their baby is around 6 months old.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 3 months–6 months - NCT05709392Recruiting
Delayed cord clamping and early skin-to-skin for early babies
This trial studies whether waiting longer before clamping the umbilical cord and starting early skin-to-skin contact can be done safely for babies born between 30 and 35 weeks by vaginal birth. It may help support breathing, circulation, and overall early newborn care.
LinköpingAges 7 months–8 months - NCT05457569Recruiting
Parent support program for babies at high brain risk
This study checks whether a coordinated parent support program delivered after NICU (and after discharge) is practical and helpful. It gathers feedback through interviews with parents and professionals to improve how care and parenting support are organized.

- How do I know if I qualify for a preterm infant development 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 infant development 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.
