Recruiting studies
- NCT06031324Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to predict recovery in newborns with breathing trouble
This study looks at whether a lung ultrasound (a safe, painless scan) can help predict how well a newborn will recover from breathing problems that start right after birth. It may help doctors decide on the best care more quickly.
BursaAges 30 minutes–2 hours - NCT06880016Recruiting
Lung ultrasound after surfactant in preterm babies
This study uses lung ultrasound to see how different ways of giving surfactant (a medicine for breathing problems) affect preterm babies born before 32 weeks. It may help doctors choose the best method for your baby.
Konya, KaratayAges 1 day–5 days - NCT06758492Recruiting
Video vs direct laryngoscopy for surfactant in newborns
This study compares two ways of placing a thin tube into a newborn's windpipe to give surfactant—a medicine that helps their lungs work better. It will help doctors understand which method is safer and easier for babies needing this treatment.
RijekaAges birth–4 weeks - NCT06966752Recruiting
Comparing two breathing supports for preterm babies with breathing problems
This study compares two types of breathing support (CPAP and NIPPV) for preterm babies with breathing problems. It aims to find which method works better for helping babies breathe easier.
Vilnius, Vilnius CountyAges birth–10 months - NCT07251790Recruiting
Better breathing support for very preterm babies
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges birth+ - NCT07344714Recruiting
Predicting breathing help needs for newborns in NICUs
This study looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 7 months–9 months - 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 - NCT07674953Recruiting
CPAP and oxygen delivery in preterm infants
This study looks at how different levels of CPAP (a breathing machine that helps keep the lungs open) affect oxygen delivery and lung expansion in preterm babies. It may help doctors understand the best settings for infants who need breathing support.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges Any age - NCT07162285Enrolling by invitation
Bubble CPAP for Preterm Babies with Breathing Problems
This trial tests a special breathing support called bubble CPAP, given right after birth in the delivery room, to help preterm babies (born before 34 weeks) who are having trouble breathing. It aims to see if starting this treatment early can improve their breathing and health.
DhakaAges 5 minutes–30 minutes - NCT06026163RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Caffeine for breathing help in late preterm babies
This trial tests if giving caffeine to late preterm babies with breathing problems helps them need less breathing support. It could be an extra treatment alongside standard care.
Madinah, Medina RegionAges 1 day–3 days - NCT06679972Enrolling by invitation
Impact of pregnancy liver condition on baby's breathing
This study looks at how a pregnancy liver condition (intrahepatic cholestasis) affects the baby's breathing after birth. It compares newborns whose mothers had this condition (and took medication for it) with newborns whose mothers did not have any liver issues during pregnancy.
Bucharest, BucharestAges 1 hour–4 weeks - 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 - NCT06757543Recruiting
Comparing video vs direct laryngoscopy for newborn intubation
This study compares two ways of putting a breathing tube into newborn babies: using a video camera to see the airway versus the standard method of looking directly. It aims to find which technique is safer and more effective.
RijekaAges birth–1 month - NCT07216053Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to predict breathing problems in late preterm babies
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 8 months–8 months - NCT07237139Recruiting
Lung volume changes during breathing support in preterm infants
This study measures how the lungs of preterm babies (born before 30 weeks) expand during synchronized breathing support. It aims to understand how well this ventilator method works for very young infants.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges Up to 4 weeks - 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 - NCT06697951Recruiting
Testing the Neovent breathing device for newborns
This study tests a simple breathing machine called the Neovent for newborns with mild to moderate breathing trouble in hospitals with limited resources. It aims to see if the device can help babies breathe easier without needing a breathing tube.
Tānsen, Palpa DistrictAges 1 minute–4 weeks - NCT02852928Recruiting
ChILD-EU registry for childhood lung disease samples
This trial builds a European “registry and biobank” of children with suspected or confirmed interstitial lung disease (a type of lung problem), as well as conditions that can look similar. It helps researchers learn more about these rare childhood lung diseases and connect families to future studies.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges Any age - 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 - NCT05207852Recruiting
Dexamethasone study for preterm labor lung development
This trial studies how well dexamethasone works and how it behaves in the body when given during preterm labor to help the baby’s lungs mature. You may be able to join if you’re pregnant between 24–36 weeks and are receiving the study treatment per their schedule.
BeijingAges 20–40 - 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 - 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 - NCT07243054Recruiting
How IV fluids before birth affect newborn weight loss
This trial looks at whether giving IV fluids to mothers before delivery affects how much weight healthy, full-term newborns lose in their first days of life. It is for mothers who feed their baby only formula in the hospital.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT06557551Recruiting
Surfactant for preterm babies born before 28 weeks
This trial tests giving surfactant through a thin tube into the windpipe right after birth for babies born before 28 weeks. It aims to help their lungs work better and reduce breathing problems.
