Recruiting studies
- NCT06550219Recruiting
Using a face mask breathing support in premature babies with breathing trouble
This study tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.
AlexandriaAges 1 hour–1 day - NCT07176117Enrolling by invitation
Surfactant via airway device for breathing trouble in newborns
This trial tests if giving surfactant (a natural substance that helps lungs stay open) through a special airway device can help late preterm and early term infants with breathing problems. The goal is to see if this approach works better than current methods without needing a breathing tube.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 8 months–9 months - 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 - NCT05002478Recruiting
Prone positioning for very sick babies with lung distress
This trial tests whether turning very sick, ventilated infants onto their stomach (prone positioning) can improve breathing when they have severe lung distress from likely pneumonia or bronchiolitis. It may help your baby get better oxygen levels and recover faster, while doctors closely monitor safety.
ViennaAges Up to 1 year - NCT03736707Recruiting
Testing two breathing machines in very preterm babies
This study compares two ways of helping very preterm infants breathe: a special high-frequency ventilation method versus the standard mechanical ventilator. It aims to see which method works better for preterm babies with breathing failure soon after birth.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 1 minute–1 hour - NCT06446453Recruiting
Lung Ultrasound-Guided Surfactant For Preterm Infants
This study tests whether giving surfactant medication guided by a lung ultrasound, instead of by X-ray, helps preterm babies with breathing problems get better without needing a breathing tube. Babies in the study receive surfactant through a thin tube while still on non-invasive breathing support.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges birth–2 hours - NCT06946914RecruitingPhase 4
Misoprostol before planned c-section
This trial tests if giving misoprostol before a planned c-section can help reduce bleeding. It might make the surgery safer for women who meet certain criteria.
Kafr Ash Shaykh, EgyptAges 20–35 - NCT07542301Recruiting
Breathing Patterns in Premature Babies During Extubation
This study watches how premature babies breathe before and after removal of their breathing tube. By measuring breathing patterns, doctors hope to better understand when babies are ready to breathe on their own and improve outcomes.
Newark, DelawareAges birth–6 months - NCT07098910Recruiting
Surfactant therapy for premature babies with breathing problems
This trial tests whether giving surfactant (a substance that helps lungs stay open) to premature babies with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) through a mask on the throat (supraglottic airway) is safe and effective. It may be an option for babies who need extra oxygen but are not on a breathing tube.
HanoiAges Up to 2 days - NCT06594458Recruiting
New method to keep mom and baby together after C-section
This study tests a new procedure to reduce separation between mother and newborn after a planned C-section. It may help babies with mild breathing problems who need a little extra oxygen stay with their moms instead of going to a separate nursery.
RomaAges 1 minute–3 days - NCT07514481Recruiting
Lung ultrasound comparison of two surfactant delivery methods in preterm babies
This study compares two ways of giving surfactant (a lung-coating medicine) to newborns with breathing trouble: LISA (a gentler, less invasive method) versus traditional breathing tube delivery. Researchers will use ultrasound to see how the medicine spreads in each baby's lungs to find the best approach.
DohaAges 6 months–10 months - NCT06421506Recruiting
Giving surfactant through a thin tube in late preterm babies
This trial tests a less invasive way to give surfactant (a lung treatment) to babies born a few weeks early who need breathing help. It aims to see if this method works as well as standard care.
LondonAges 8 months–9 months - NCT06280872Recruiting
Cord clamping study for moderate and late preterm babies
This trial studies a different way of clamping the umbilical cord after birth to see if it helps moderately preterm babies (born between 32 and 37 weeks). It may improve their health right after delivery.
BrusselsAges 7 months–8 months - NCT06295484Recruiting
Comparing two breathing support methods for very small babies
This study compares two types of breathing support (nasal CPAP and NIPPV) for very low birth weight preterm infants to see which one works better. The goal is to find the best way to help these babies breathe more easily.
Toronto, OntarioAges 1 day–8 months - NCT07193771Recruiting
Altitude and Outcomes in Children with ARDS
This study looks at how elevation (altitude) affects the recovery of children with a serious lung condition called ARDS who are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit.
Sucre, Chuquisaca DepartmentAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07570121RecruitingPhase 1
How Caffeine Moves Through Pregnancy and to the Baby
This study looks at how caffeine is absorbed and transferred to a baby during pregnancy in women at risk of early delivery. Researchers hope to understand safe caffeine use in this situation and potentially help prevent complications.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07375667Recruiting
Airway suction guidance in ventilated patients
This trial uses dynamic airway resistance and machine learning to guide when sputum suction is needed in ventilated patients with ARDS, AECOPD, or severe pneumonia.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–90

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory distress neonatal?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 41 recruiting respiratory distress neonatal 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 respiratory distress neonatal 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 respiratory distress neonatal 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.
