Early Lung Health in Very Premature Infants
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 32 weeks of pregnancy (very premature).
- Your baby may or may not have had growth problems in the womb (fetal growth restriction).
- You must be able to give permission (informed consent) for your baby to join.
- Your baby is not receiving palliative care (care focused on comfort, not cure).
- Your baby does not have major birth defects (serious physical problems present at birth).

This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs to see if doctors can predict which very premature babies will develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)—a chronic lung condition common in extremely premature infants. The goal is to identify at-risk babies early so they can receive targeted treatment.
This study looks at premature babies to see if we can predict lung injury early. It may help doctors provide better care for babies born early or with low birth weight.
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.
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 uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
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.
