Immune system study in newborn intestines
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how the immune system develops in the intestines of newborns, including those born early or with a blocked intestine (atresia). It may help doctors understand inflammation and improve care for sick babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- For the NEC part: your baby was born before 32 weeks of pregnancy
- For the atresia part: your baby is up to 1 year old and needs surgery for a blocked intestine
- Your baby does not have a serious birth defect or other condition that would make participation unsafe
- The surgeon believes enough intestine will remain after surgery for a small tissue sample

This study looks at how the intestines grow and develop in both premature and full-term babies. It involves collecting small tissue samples during a baby's already-planned surgery or scope procedure to better understand normal development and digestive diseases.
This study looks at how immune-related “NETs” might protect or possibly harm newborn babies during early inflammation or infection. It may help doctors understand which immune responses are helpful versus risky in the NICU.
This study looks at how newborns with urgent digestive system problems are treated and how they recover. It may help doctors improve care for babies with similar emergencies.
This study looks at premature babies and babies with very low birth weight to better understand a serious bowel condition called necrotizing enterocolitis. It aims to find ways to identify or manage this condition in these high-risk infants.
This study looks at the gut bacteria of premature babies to see if changes can predict a serious bowel condition (ulcero-necrotizing enterocolitis). It aims to use artificial intelligence to help doctors catch it early.
This study looks at whether newborns with a serious gut condition called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) have different allergy triggers compared to healthy newborns. It may help doctors understand if allergies play a role in NEC and could guide future treatments.
