Synbiotics for preventing preterm birth in higher-risk pregnancies
Part of Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking synbiotics (a mix of “good” probiotics and “food” for them) can help lower the chance of going into labor too early. It’s for pregnant people with certain risk factors for preterm birth, and it compares outcomes while you follow the study plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at different care pathways to help lower the risk of preterm birth (birth too early). It will follow pregnant people with a singleton pregnancy to see which approaches may work best for preventing early delivery.
This study looks at how the gut bacteria (microbiome) develop in babies born early and whether giving a small amount of the mother's stool to the baby (fecal transplant) can help. It might help premature infants have healthier gut bacteria.
This trial tests whether taking progesterone for longer during an IVF pregnancy can help lower the risk of preterm birth (birth too early). It is for people who are pregnant from a fresh embryo transfer of a single embryo.
This trial tests a new way to find and treat vaginal infections early in pregnancy to help prevent preterm birth. It may help women who have had a preterm baby or a late miscarriage before.
This trial tests a short-term treatment to help stop early labor contractions and delay delivery for a short time. It may help give the baby more time to develop before birth.
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.
