Study of normal gut development in newborns
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be a newborn or infant up to 2 years old.
- Your baby must be having surgery on the intestines OR a scope procedure (like an endoscopy or colonoscopy) where a small tissue sample (biopsy) is taken.
- Not included: children older than 2 years.
- Not included: infants 0–2 years old who are not having intestinal surgery or a scope with biopsy.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at newborns (up to 28 days old) who have urgent stomach or intestinal problems needing immediate treatment. Researchers want to understand what types of emergencies happen most often and how babies fare after treatment.
This study looks at the long-term health of very preterm infants who had a serious gut condition called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or a bowel perforation between 2008 and 2013. Researchers will compare their development to similar infants without these conditions to understand long-term outcomes.
This study interviews surgeons who treat infants with a serious bowel condition called necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Researchers want to understand how surgeons make decisions and how babies do afterward.
This study looks at how the immune system develops in the intestines of newborns, including those born early or with a blocked intestine (atresia). It may help doctors understand inflammation and improve care for sick babies.
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.
This study looks at the gut bacteria of premature babies to see if changes can predict a serious bowel condition (ulcero-necrotizing enterocolitis). It aims to use artificial intelligence to help doctors catch it early.
