CitiColine to help protect the brain in preterm babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether citicoline can act as a protective treatment for the brain in babies born early and needing breathing support. It may help reduce risks tied to prematurity and breathing complications by supporting the brain’s health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born preterm (early)
- Your baby needs breathing support using CPAP or a ventilator
- Your baby does not have multiple birth defects (multiple congenital anomalies)
- Your baby’s care team determines they can safely take part in the study

This trial studies whether a medicine called citicoline can protect the brain in newborns who had low oxygen (hypoxia). It may help reduce brain injury in babies, but it does not include babies with a specific severe brain condition.
This trial tests if citicoline, a brain-protecting supplement, can help newborns with moderate to severe brain injury from lack of oxygen. It is for babies who have not gotten cooling treatment.
This trial tests whether a medicine called citicoline can help newborns who had a brief lack of oxygen around birth, which can affect their brain. It aims to see if the medicine improves their recovery and brain blood flow.
This trial tests whether giving caffeine citrate early to very preterm babies (born before 32 weeks) can improve their breathing and overall health. It's for babies who need caffeine anyway as part of their care, and it looks at short- and long-term benefits.
This study is testing whether giving caffeine to babies born a few weeks early helps them breathe better and reduce time on breathing support. It includes babies who need a breathing tube or other breathing help soon after birth.
This Phase 3 study tests ways to protect brain health in newborns who are very premature or recently born and need a breathing machine through a tube. It may help reduce the risk of brain injury while they receive intensive care.
