Amino acid needs in premature babies on IV nutrition
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks how much of certain proteins (amino acids) premature babies need when they get all their nutrition through an IV. It aims to make sure babies get the right amounts to grow well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is premature (born at 28 weeks of pregnancy or later) and less than 28 days old.
- Your baby gets all or almost all (at least 90%) of their nutrition through an IV (called TPN).
- Your baby is medically stable – no fever, infection, or abnormal blood test results.
- Your baby’s birth weight and length are typical for their gestational age.
- If your baby had surgery, it must have been at least 3 days ago.

This study looks at whether giving protein continuously or all at once is better for children in intensive care. The goal is to find the most effective way to support recovery.
This trial looks at how premature babies (born between 28 and 31 weeks, 6 days) who weigh 1000–1500 grams grow and handle their feedings. It only includes babies who are exclusively fed their mother's milk or donor human milk and who don't have serious health problems at the start.
This study tests a special nutrition plan for babies born before 32 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to find the best way to feed these tiny newborns to help them grow and develop.
This study looks at the growth and nutrition of babies aged 1 to 12 months who are fed a special amino acid-based formula because of a cow's milk protein allergy. It helps doctors understand if this formula supports healthy development.
