Identifying lung types in severe BPD in preemies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at babies born very early who have severe lung disease (grade 3 BPD) and still need a breathing machine. Researchers will use tests to understand their lung problems better, which may help guide their care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby is between 36 and 65 weeks old since their last menstrual period (adjusting for prematurity).
- Your baby is currently on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the hospital.
- Your baby has been diagnosed with severe chronic lung disease (grade 3 BPD or grade 2 BPD needing a ventilator).
- You (the parent or guardian) are willing to give consent and take part in the study's follow-up visits for about 2 years.

This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs to see if doctors can predict which very premature babies will develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)—a chronic lung condition common in extremely premature infants. The goal is to identify at-risk babies early so they can receive targeted treatment.
This trial tests a standardized, team-agreed discharge plan to help preterm babies with lung disease (often called BPD) leave the hospital safely. It may help by making the discharge process more consistent, especially for babies going home on breathing support like oxygen.
This study compares two ways of feeding premature babies with lung disease (BPD) who still need breathing support: feeding through a tube into the stomach (gastric) versus past the stomach into the small intestine (transpyloric). The goal is to see which feeding method helps these babies grow better and avoid problems.
This Phase 1 trial tests whether giving stem cells into a breathing tube is safe and may help prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a serious lung condition in very premature infants. It focuses on babies soon after birth who already need breathing support and are at risk.
This study uses MRI (a special scan) to look at babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a long-term breathing condition that can happen after being in the NICU. It aims to learn more about what’s happening in the lungs and how MRI can be used safely in these babies.
This study tests a new way of setting the ventilator for preterm babies born before 34 weeks who are still on a breathing machine. It aims to improve lung healing and heart function by finding the best pressure settings. The results could help your baby breathe more comfortably.
