High-dose IV lipids for very small or early babies
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a high dose of a special IV fat solution (called lipids) helps very small or very early-born babies grow better. It's for babies weighing under 1500 grams or born before 32 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby's birth weight is less than 1500 grams (about 3 pounds, 5 ounces) or they were born before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby does not have any major birth defects.

This trial tests whether giving preterm babies (born at 28-34 weeks) a higher dose of vitamin D by mouth helps them grow and stay healthy. It may be an option if your baby is already feeding well and doesn't have certain other health problems.
This trial tests whether giving fat (lipid) infusions can improve nutrition and growth in very premature or very low birth weight babies. It may be for babies born before 28 weeks or weighing 1,000 grams or less.
This study looks at when to stop IV nutrition (parenteral nutrition) for babies born weighing less than 1500 grams (about 3.3 pounds). It tests if stopping IV nutrition earlier or later affects growth and development, and how a growth factor called IGF-1 relates to this. The goal is to help these tiny babies grow better.
This trial tests whether giving an omega-3 fat medicine through an IV (along with standard care) improves breathing and blood-flow problems in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and persistent pulmonary hypertension. It may help reduce strain on the lungs and heart by targeting inflammation and blood-vessel changes.
This study tests whether adding extra nutrients (fortification) to human milk helps very low birth weight or preterm babies grow better in the NICU.
This study tests whether adding extra nutrition (fortifying) to donated breast milk helps very premature infants grow better and safely. You might be offered a fortified donor milk feeding plan if your baby meets the timing and medical criteria.
