Ventilator study for preterm infants with lung recovery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 34 weeks of pregnancy
- Your baby is now between 7 days and 1 month old
- Your baby is on a conventional ventilator or high-frequency jet ventilator for breathing support
- Your baby has recovering respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)
- You give written permission for your baby to join the study

This study tests whether changing oxygen targets in preterm infants with high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) helps their heart and lungs work better. It may help doctors find the best oxygen levels for these babies.
This study looks at how different pressure settings on breathing support after coming off the ventilator affect very premature babies. It aims to find the best way to keep babies stable and reduce lung damage.
This study looks at why some preterm babies need a breathing machine (ventilator) for a longer time. It will help doctors understand which babies might need more breathing support, so they can plan better care.
This study tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.
This study tests whether a special cell therapy (MSC-EVs) given to extremely premature babies can help prevent a serious lung disease called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The treatment is given while the baby is still on a breathing machine.
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.
