Study of necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is studying a condition called necrotizing enterocolitis in very small or premature babies. It looks for ways to better understand or treat this serious gut problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born before 36 weeks of pregnancy or weigh less than 1500 grams (about 3.3 pounds) at birth.
- Your baby cannot be full term (born at 37 weeks or later).
- Your baby cannot have a normal birth weight (1500 grams or more) and start breastfeeding early.

This study tests a new system to catch a serious bowel infection called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) early in premature babies. By identifying warning signs sooner, doctors hope to prevent severe complications and improve outcomes.
This study looks at how different types of feeding affect the gut of very preterm babies when they receive a blood transfusion. If your baby qualifies, the team will do extra monitoring and ultrasound scans to learn more about gut health during transfusions.
This study looks at how necrotizing enterocolitis (a serious gut infection) affects the long-term nutrition of premature babies. If your baby was born early and had this condition, participating could help doctors understand its lasting effects.
This trial looks at whether it’s safer to temporarily withhold (pause) breast milk or formula feeds around the time of a blood transfusion in very premature babies. It may help reduce gut-related complications like NEC, a serious intestinal problem.
This study looks at how immune-related “NETs” might protect or possibly harm newborn babies during early inflammation or infection. It may help doctors understand which immune responses are helpful versus risky in the NICU.
This trial studies a treatment made from special particles in donor breast milk, given to very early-born babies who are at risk of a serious gut infection called NEC. It aims to see if these particles can help protect their intestines.
