Study of necrotizing enterocolitis in premature and low-birth-weight babies
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at premature babies and babies with very low birth weight to better understand a serious bowel condition called necrotizing enterocolitis. It aims to find ways to identify or manage this condition in these high-risk infants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 36 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby weighed less than 1500 grams (about 3 pounds 5 ounces) at birth.
- Your baby is not full-term (born at or after 37 weeks).

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 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 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 study looks at how the intestines grow and develop in both premature and full-term babies. It involves collecting small tissue samples during a baby's already-planned surgery or scope procedure to better understand normal development and digestive diseases.
This study tests a monitoring tool to help doctors spot a serious gut problem in premature babies born before 32 weeks. If the tool works, it could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
This study looks at how newborns with urgent digestive system problems are treated and how they recover. It may help doctors improve care for babies with similar emergencies.
