Omega-3 in an IV for newborns with breathing circulation problems
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving an omega-3 fat medicine through an IV (along with standard care) improves breathing and blood-flow problems in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and persistent pulmonary hypertension. It may help reduce strain on the lungs and heart by targeting inflammation and blood-vessel changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is planned to receive TPN (nutrition through a vein) for at least 7 days
- Your baby has been diagnosed with congenital diaphragmatic hernia confirmed by doctors’ tests, including breathing/blood tests and an ultrasound of the heart
- Your baby was born at 34 weeks or later
- Both parents can sign the consent form after the study team explains risks and benefits (with two witnesses)
- Your baby does not have major complex heart problems or certain heart conditions that turn the skin bluish
- Your baby cannot have heavy ongoing bleeding that would prevent safe nutrition through the vein

This study looks at whether an inhaled nitric oxide generator and delivery system can help newborns with high lung blood pressure (pulmonary hypertension). It may help improve oxygen levels during breathing support, but it requires specific medical eligibility and informed consent.
This trial tests whether inhaled nitric oxide gas helps newborns with a specific type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (a hole in the diaphragm that lets organs move into the chest) who have low oxygen and high blood pressure in their lungs.
This study tests whether breathing in magnesium sulfate and giving sildenafil can improve breathing and lung blood vessel pressure in newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension. It may help newborns who are having trouble oxygenating despite being on a ventilator.
This trial tests whether inhaled nitric oxide gas can help full-term newborns who have severe breathing problems and high blood pressure in their lungs. It aims to improve oxygen levels and reduce the need for more intensive support.
This trial compares two medicines (dopamine and norepinephrine) to see which works better for raising blood pressure in newborns who have both low blood pressure and high blood pressure in the lungs. Both medicines are given through a vein to help stabilize your baby's blood pressure.
This trial tests whether giving intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) early after birth can help prevent or treat a serious lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in babies born at 28 weeks or earlier. It may help reduce the need for breathing support and oxygen.
