Extremely preterm infant lung health study
Part of Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows the breathing and lung health of very early preterm babies (born before 29 weeks) for two years. It helps doctors understand and improve long-term respiratory care for these tiny infants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 29 weeks of pregnancy.
- You agreed to the study within 7 days of birth.
- Your baby survived the first 3 days after birth.
- Your baby does not have a severe heart defect or other structural problems in the lungs, airways, or chest.
- It is expected that your baby can be followed for health check-ups until 24 months of age.

This study compares the early lung development of very premature babies who had growth problems in the womb to those who did not. The goal is to understand how growth in the womb affects lung health after birth.
This study looks at how the hearts and lungs work in babies born very early (before 29 weeks). It may help researchers understand why some babies develop breathing and heart circulation problems and how to measure their recovery.
This study looks at very early signs of a lung problem called bronchopulmonary dysplasia in babies born before 26 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to find better ways to predict and maybe prevent this condition.
This trial studies a breath test to predict lung disease in very premature babies. It could help doctors start treatment earlier to prevent serious breathing problems.
This study tests if a specific breathing technique (using PEEP to open up collapsed parts of the lungs) can help very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) who need breathing support. Researchers want to see if it can improve lung function in the first two weeks of life.
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.
