Studying early markers for brittle bones in newborns
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks for tiny particles in the blood that might help doctors detect bone weakness in premature babies. It aims to find early signs of metabolic bone disease, which could lead to better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be full-term, born between 37 and 41 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby must be less than 28 days old when joining the study.
- Your baby must not have had a blood transfusion or surgery.
- Your baby must not have any birth defects, inherited metabolic diseases, or intestinal problems.
- Your baby must not have received nutrition through a vein (intravenous nutrition).

This study looks at children who may have genetic (inherited) or metabolic (body chemistry) problems, including newborn screening and episodes of trouble. The goal is to better understand these conditions and identify children who may benefit from further care.
This study will collect urine from very premature or very low birth weight babies to look for patterns in natural chemicals (biomarkers). The goal is to find early clues about their health that could lead to better care.
This study uses a simple blood spot and urine test to look for chemical signs of rare metabolic diseases. It aims to improve early detection and understanding of these conditions across all ages, including healthy individuals.
This study looks at microscopic particles called extracellular vesicles in the umbilical cord blood of babies born before 28 weeks. Researchers want to see if these particles can help predict severe health problems or death, and eventually improve care for extremely premature newborns.
This study looks at very young babies to understand early signs of obesity risk. If your baby is under 4 months old and mainly drinks breastmilk, they may help researchers learn more about how body growth and feeding relate to health later in life.
This study looks at what bone “profiles” look like in healthy adult athletes. It may help researchers better understand how normal bone health varies in people who are physically active.
