Breathing support for very premature babies
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a special device that may improve breathing for very premature babies who need a breathing machine. It aims to help their lungs work better by clearing out extra air (dead space) from the breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born very early, between 23 and 26 weeks of pregnancy (plus a few days).
- Your baby must be less than 8 days old at the time of joining.
- Your baby needs a breathing tube and machine (mechanical ventilation) before day 8 of life.
- Your baby cannot have any known serious birth defects, severe bleeding in the brain, or life-threatening genetic conditions.
- Your baby must not have already been on a breathing machine for more than 12 hours.
- You must have French health insurance (social security or CMU) and give your consent for your baby to participate.

This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
This trial is testing a different way of giving breaths on a breathing machine to very premature babies. It aims to see which speed of lung inflation is gentler and helps babies' lungs work better. If your baby is on a special breathing machine that responds to their own breathing, this trial may help improve their breathing support.
This study looks at a new way to help very premature babies who need breathing support right after birth. The goal is to find a gentler method that may reduce lung damage and improve breathing outcomes.
This study tests an experimental treatment to help premature babies' lungs grow stronger and reduce the need for a breathing machine. It might help your baby if they are very premature and still need extra oxygen and breathing support.
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
This study checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
