This Phase 2 trial studies whether ELGN-2112 is safe in babies born very early or smaller than expected before birth. It may help doctors understand how to better care for these high-risk newborns.
This trial studies a treatment made from special particles in donor breast milk, given to very early-born babies who are at risk of a serious gut infection called NEC. It aims to see if these particles can help protect their intestines.
This trial tests if giving lactase enzyme supplements helps preterm babies (born at or before 32 weeks) tolerate their feedings better. If your baby was born early and started feeding within the first few days of life, this study may be a good fit.
This trial tests whether giving lactase (a natural enzyme that helps digest milk sugar) to preterm babies helps them gain weight better. It is for infants born between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy who get most of their nutrition through the gut.
This trial tests a new infant formula to see if it helps babies' digestion and overall gut health. The formula is the only food the baby gets during the study.
This study tests whether a medication called GLP-2 (given as daily injections for one month) can help repair gut damage and improve nutrition in underweight women. You would also receive food and vitamin supplements, and have two small procedures to check your gut health.
