Probiotic drops for very preterm babies in Scandinavia
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Infections clinical trials.
This trial studies whether giving probiotic supplements to extremely preterm newborns helps improve health outcomes. It’s meant for babies born very early, and the results could help guide safer early nutrition and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born extremely preterm between 22 weeks 0 days and 27 weeks 6 days in pregnancy.
- In the first 72 hours of life, doctors have not identified severe complications with a very low chance of survival.
- Your baby does not have major birth defects (major congenital anomalies).
- Your baby is not already enrolled in another treatment study that measures similar outcomes.

This early-phase trial tests whether giving a specific bacteria-fighting treatment (called bacteriophage) through the gut can help preterm babies’ intestinal development mature faster. It may help reduce early gut-related problems, but the study is mainly to check safety and early effects.
This trial uses a special program to help parents of preterm babies learned responsive parenting through an e-health tool. It aims to support your baby's brain development by giving you practical tips and guidance from home.
This trial studies whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) to premature babies can improve their health. It may help prevent stomach and gut problems in babies born before 32 weeks.
This study tests whether giving premature babies a daily probiotic (a mix of healthy bacteria) can help prevent a serious gut condition called necrotizing enterocolitis. If it works, it could keep your baby safer and healthier.
This study tests whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) to preterm infants who received antibiotics can help their brain development. Your baby will get either a probiotic supplement or a placebo for 6 months, and we'll check their development.
This study looks at whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) to very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) can lower the risk of a serious gut problem called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The researchers will review medical records of babies born between 2016 and 2022 in England and Wales.
