Caffeine for breathing help in late preterm babies
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving caffeine to late preterm babies with breathing problems helps them need less breathing support. It could be an extra treatment alongside standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born between 34 and 36 weeks of pregnancy
- Has trouble breathing after birth
- Needs breathing support like a ventilator, a mask that pushes air, or a nasal cannula with extra oxygen above 50%
- Not admitted to the hospital for reasons other than breathing problems
- Does not have certain birth defects or heart issues requiring treatment

This study tests whether giving caffeine to premature babies (born at 28 to 34 weeks) who need breathing help can reduce the time they need respiratory support. Caffeine is a common medicine that helps stimulate breathing in premature infants.
This trial tests whether giving caffeine citrate early to very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) improves their breathing and long-term health. It aims to find the best way to use this common medicine to help your baby grow and develop.
This study tests if giving an extra dose of caffeine (a medicine that helps premature babies breathe) right before removing the breathing tube can make the transition easier. It is for very premature babies who have been on a ventilator for at least two days and are ready for their first try at breathing on their own.
This study is testing different doses of caffeine to improve oxygen levels in extremely low birth weight babies born before 28 weeks. We want to see which dose works best to help their breathing.
This trial tests whether giving caffeine citrate can help prevent breathing pauses (apnea) in preterm babies who are ready to stop their current caffeine treatment. It aims to see if a short course of caffeine can keep babies stable after they come off oxygen and are eating well.
This study looks at whether giving caffeine to premature babies helps keep their hearts stable. It may help parents understand if caffeine treatment is safe for their baby's heart.
