Study to prevent developmental delays using xylitol
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether giving xylitol can help prevent developmental delays in children. Families will do several developmental checkups, including tests done at a specific travel site, to see how children are doing.

This study looks for biological markers in the mother's blood that might predict how exposure to inflammation during pregnancy could change a baby's brain development. The goal is to understand these effects in healthy pregnancies and those with certain inflammatory conditions.
This study looks at early detection and early support for babies who are at higher risk of cerebral palsy and developmental delays. It may help by finding concerns sooner and starting help earlier.
This study is testing a new way of doing physical therapy (called COPCA) for babies who are at risk of developmental delays. The goal is to see if it helps them reach milestones better than standard care.
This trial tests if chewing xylitol gum during pregnancy can reduce gum disease and preterm birth. You would chew gum after meals and attend dental visits and follow-ups.
This study tests whether a responsive parenting program helps toddlers born early think, learn, and manage behavior more easily. It also checks whether families can complete toddler brain and behavior assessments (including brain scans).
This study uses MRI brain scans to look at how “neural flexibility” develops in typically developing toddlers. It compares toddlers who drink a specific formula gum or regular cow’s milk to understand how diet may relate to brain development.
