Cord clamping study for moderate and late preterm babies
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies a different way of clamping the umbilical cord after birth to see if it helps moderately preterm babies (born between 32 and 37 weeks). It may improve their health right after delivery.

This trial tests if placing a stitch in the cervix (cerclage) between 24 and 27 weeks of pregnancy can help prevent preterm birth in women whose cervix is short. It may be an option for those who find out late in pregnancy that they are at risk.
This trial studies whether giving 30% versus 60% oxygen during early resuscitation (breathing support) affects brain and nerve development in very low birthweight, very preterm infants. If you/your baby fits the birth and care timing requirements, the goal is to find an oxygen approach that supports better long-term outcomes.
This study looks at a specific way to support a newborn’s breathing right after birth when they have congenital diaphragmatic hernia (a birth condition affecting the diaphragm). If you qualify, the team will compare their resuscitation approach to standard care to see if it helps babies in the delivery room.
This study compares waiting a bit before clamping the umbilical cord versus clamping it right away for babies born between 32 and 37 weeks of pregnancy. It helps determine which approach may be better for preterm infants.
This trial looks at whether different positions for the baby while waiting to clamp the umbilical cord can improve the baby's comfort and health measures. It is for full-term, healthy babies born vaginally.
This trial studies whether waiting longer before clamping the umbilical cord and starting early skin-to-skin contact can be done safely for babies born between 30 and 35 weeks by vaginal birth. It may help support breathing, circulation, and overall early newborn care.
