Preterm infant formula with human milk sugars
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a special supplement added to preterm infant feeding. The supplement contains beneficial sugars found in breast milk, which may help babies digest better and grow. It is for premature babies who have started small feedings but are not yet fully feeding.

This study tests a special nutrient additive that goes into breast milk to help premature babies grow stronger. If your baby is very premature and fed human milk, this fortifier may help them get the extra calories and nutrients they need.
This study tests whether adding extra nutrients (fortification) to human milk helps very low birth weight or preterm babies grow better in the NICU.
This study tests whether a special human milk diet helps very preterm babies grow better. It compares two types of human milk fortifiers to see which one leads to healthier growth.
This study looks at giving donor human milk to very low-birth-weight preterm babies when a mother’s own milk is not enough during the first three weeks. It may help babies get human milk instead of formula during that early period.
This study tests whether feeding extremely preterm babies only human milk (no formula) affects early health outcomes, including risks that may develop later. It also includes term-born babies for comparison. The study is mainly about feeding and safety, and you would follow the study’s feeding plan.
This study tests a device that makes breast milk more concentrated so premature babies get more nutrients from smaller amounts. It may help babies born between 32 and 35 weeks grow better.
