Genetic risk study in very low birth-weight babies
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at genetic differences to understand why some very low birth-weight babies develop certain health problems. It may help doctors predict risk and tailor care for these babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born weighing less than 1,500 grams (about 3.3 pounds)
- The study team must be able to confirm your baby’s birth weight
- Your baby should not have a major heart problem
- Your baby should not have major birth defects affecting the stomach/intestinal tract
- Your baby should not have major birth defects affecting the lungs or kidneys

This study tests a way to prevent chronic lung disease in very premature babies. It is for babies born before 32 weeks who needed breathing help right after birth.
This study looks at a newborn’s genes (PTGS1 variation) and whether that relates to persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), a serious breathing/lung blood-pressure problem. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and how to better identify affected babies early.
This trial tests whether a special care approach, called developmental care, helps very low birth weight babies (under 1500 grams) who need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if this type of care improves their development and health in the NICU.
This study compares the early lung development of very premature babies who had growth problems in the womb to those who did not. The goal is to understand how growth in the womb affects lung health after birth.
This study looks at severe lung disease in children. It may help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
This is a research database that collects health information from newborns born very early or very small at specialized hospital centers. Your baby's data helps researchers understand how to better care for premature and low-birth-weight infants.
