Assessing bleeding risk in very premature babies with low platelets
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial looks at how to estimate bleeding risk in newborns who are very premature and have a low platelet count. The goal is to guide safer care by better identifying which babies may be at higher risk of bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be born before 32 weeks of pregnancy and weigh at least 500 grams
- Have a low platelet count (below 100)
- Have a parent or guardian who can sign the consent paperwork
- Be expected to live more than 24 hours (according to the baby’s doctor)
- Not be suspected of having an inherited (family) platelet problem

This study looks at how very low platelet levels (and platelet transfusions, if needed) affect bleeding and inflammation in newborns. It may help doctors better understand which newborns are at higher risk and how to manage low platelets.
This study looks at the best way to decide when to give platelet transfusions to very premature babies. It aims to help prevent bleeding while avoiding unnecessary transfusions.
This study is testing whether giving smaller volumes of platelet transfusions to premature babies with very low platelet counts is as effective as the standard larger volume. It aims to find a safer way to prevent bleeding while reducing risks like fluid overload.
This study uses a special blood test to create a score that predicts bleeding risk in patients with blood cancers and very low platelet counts. It could help doctors decide if you need extra care to prevent bleeding.
This study tests a machine called ROTEM Sigma that measures how well your blood clots, specifically in pregnant women who have or may have low platelet counts (cells that help blood clot). The goal is to help doctors better predict bleeding problems during or after delivery.
This trial tests whether giving platelet transfusions to critically ill patients with very low platelet counts helps prevent bleeding. If you are in the ICU with low platelets and need life support, this study may be relevant to you.
