Study of immune signals in newborns with early inflammation or infection
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how immune-related “NETs” might protect or possibly harm newborn babies during early inflammation or infection. It may help doctors understand which immune responses are helpful versus risky in the NICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You/your baby must be in the NICU (newborn intensive care unit).
- Baby must be very small or very premature: born at 30 weeks or less, or weigh 1500 grams or less.
- If baby was born at term, delivery must happen at the University of Utah Maternity Care Center without complications.
- The umbilical cord blood must be collected within the first hour after birth.
- A parent or guardian must sign informed consent before any study procedures.
- Baby must not have major birth defects (major congenital anomalies).

This study looks at the gut bacteria of premature babies to see if changes can predict a serious bowel condition (ulcero-necrotizing enterocolitis). It aims to use artificial intelligence to help doctors catch it early.
This study tests whether giving a mixture of several helpful bacteria (probiotics) can prevent a serious gut infection called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in very premature babies. If your baby qualifies, they will receive the probiotic or a placebo (an inactive substance) to see if it helps protect their intestines.
This study tests a new system to catch a serious bowel infection called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) early in premature babies. By identifying warning signs sooner, doctors hope to prevent severe complications and improve outcomes.
This study looks at whether newborns with necrotizing enterocolitis (a serious bowel infection) develop allergies differently than healthy newborns. Researchers will compare allergen sensitivity between babies who had this condition and those who didn't, to better understand how the illness affects the immune system.
This study looks at how the immune system develops in the intestines of newborns, including those born early or with a blocked intestine (atresia). It may help doctors understand inflammation and improve care for sick babies.
This trial is studying a condition called necrotizing enterocolitis in very small or premature babies. It looks for ways to better understand or treat this serious gut problem.
