Recruiting studies
- NCT06808997Recruiting
Study on breathing support decisions for very early preterm babies
This study looks at how doctors decide when to remove the breathing tube (extubation) from extremely preterm babies born before 28 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to understand what affects breathing outcomes and could help improve care for these tiny infants.
AmiensAges 1 minute–5 months - NCT04818762Recruiting
Measuring oxygen use in newborns with breathing trouble
This study looks at how well oxygen is being used by the body in newborns who are having breathing problems, from birth through the first hours of life. It also studies whether infection plays a role, which may help doctors better understand and treat newborn breathing trouble.
Graz, StyriaAges Up to 6 hours - NCT06878703RecruitingPhase 3
Dexmedetomidine vs midazolam for preterm babies on a ventilator
This study compares two sedative medicines, dexmedetomidine and midazolam, to see which one helps preterm babies on a ventilator breathe on their own sooner. Your baby may be eligible if they were born very early and need medicine to relax while on the breathing machine.
ParisAges Up to 7 months - NCT06975189RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing radiation in preterm baby lung scans
This trial tests whether using ultrasound instead of X-rays for lung imaging can safely reduce radiation exposure in very premature babies. If your baby needs lung imaging, they may be able to join.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges Up to 1 day - 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 - NCT07261787RecruitingPhase 4
Surfactant given in 1 vs. 5 minutes for very preterm babies
This trial compares giving a breathing treatment (surfactant) over 1 minute versus 5 minutes to help very premature babies born before 28 weeks. The goal is to see which timing helps the baby's breathing and heart rate stabilize better.
GrazAges birth–3 days - NCT07154134Recruiting
Blood markers in preterm babies with breathing problems
This study looks at two substances in the blood (endocan and copeptin) to see if they can help doctors understand breathing problems in premature babies. It may lead to better ways to care for these infants.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 6 months–8 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.
Graz, StyriaAges birth–6 hours - NCT06940713Recruiting
Brain imaging study for newborn infants
This study uses a safe, non-invasive ultrasound technique to measure brain activity in newborn babies. It aims to understand brain development and connectivity in preterm infants, infants with birth-related oxygen deprivation, growth-restricted babies, siblings of children with autism, and healthy full-term babies.
ParisAges Up to 5 months - NCT06803069Recruiting
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 - NCT06794307Recruiting
Blood sugar in pregnant women receiving betamethasone for preterm birth
This study looks at how betamethasone, a steroid given to help babies' lungs mature, affects blood sugar levels in pregnant women without diabetes. It may help ensure safer treatment for women at risk of early labor.
Aarhus, Central Region DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT07667205Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Liposomal vs. ferrous iron for preventing anemia in preterm babies
This trial compares two types of iron supplements—liposomal iron and ferrous iron—to see which works better at preventing iron deficiency anemia in premature infants. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for these fragile newborns.
CairoAges 2 weeks–3 weeks - NCT07275021Recruiting
Brain Injury & Vision Screening in Newborns
This study looks for early signs of vision problems in babies who had brain injuries around the time of birth. It aims to help doctors better identify and predict these issues.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 7 months–10 months - NCT06705257Recruiting
Breathing support study for very early preterm babies
This study tests if a specific breathing technique (using PEEP to open up collapsed parts of the lungs) can help very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) who need breathing support. Researchers want to see if it can improve lung function in the first two weeks of life.
MiddlesbroughAges 5 months–7 months - 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+ - NCT06650189Recruiting
Music therapy for stress in premature babies
This study tests whether specially designed music can help reduce stress in premature babies. It may help your baby feel more calm and stable in the hospital.
AthensAges 6 months–9 months - NCT07610486RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Optimizing Ampicillin Dosing for Preterm Infants
This study aims to find the best dose of ampicillin for premature babies in the NICU who are being treated for possible early infection. The goal is to improve treatment and reduce side effects.
Durham, North CarolinaAges birth–1 week - NCT06973174Recruiting
B. cereus infections in premature newborns
This study looks at a type of bacterial infection (Bacillus cereus) that can affect the blood or brain lining in premature babies. It helps doctors learn more about these infections so they can improve care.
Nice, Alpes MaritimesAges Up to 5 months - NCT06794164Recruiting
Immediate skin-to-skin care for preterm babies at birth
This study tests if immediate skin-to-skin contact (holding your baby directly on your chest) right after birth helps preterm babies born between 26 and 32 weeks. Your baby might be placed on your skin while still in the delivery room, which could improve their breathing and temperature and help you bond.
Graz, StyriaAges birth–30 minutes - NCT06545565RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing acid buildup in preterm babies on IV nutrition
This trial tests if replacing sodium chloride with sodium acetate in IV nutrition can prevent metabolic acidosis (too much acid in the blood) in preterm babies born before 33 weeks. If your baby is in the NICU and needs IV nutrition, this study may help keep their blood chemistry balanced.
Karachi, SindhAges 1 day–3 days - NCT07202299Recruiting
Weaning preterm babies off high-frequency breathing machines
This trial tests two different ways to safely take preterm babies off a special breathing machine (HFOV). It aims to find which method works better for babies with breathing problems (respiratory distress syndrome).
Al MansurahAges Any age - NCT06642285Recruiting
Preventing nasal injuries in preterm babies on breathing support
This study tests if using special care steps can prevent nose sores in preterm babies who need breathing support through a mask or nasal prongs. It may help protect your baby's delicate nose from injury.
Kafr ash Shaykh, Kafr el-Sheikh GovernorateAges 7 months–9 months - NCT04413994Recruiting
Exclusive breast milk study in preterm babies
This study tests whether feeding extremely preterm babies only human milk (no formula) affects early health outcomes, including risks that may develop later. It also includes term-born babies for comparison. The study is mainly about feeding and safety, and you would follow the study’s feeding plan.

Testing zelpultide alfa for preterm babies at risk of lung disease
This trial tests a medicine called zelpultide alfa in very premature babies who are at high risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease. The goal is to see if it can help prevent or lessen lung problems compared to standard care alone.
