Lactase enzyme for feeding intolerance in preterm babies
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving lactase enzyme supplements helps preterm babies (born at or before 32 weeks) tolerate their feedings better. If your baby was born early and started feeding within the first few days of life, this study may be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born at 32 weeks of pregnancy or earlier

This trial tests different ways to give milk feeds to preterm babies who are already eating fully by mouth. The goal is to find the best feeding schedule to help them grow and thrive.
This study tests a special supplement added to preterm infant feeding. The supplement contains beneficial sugars found in breast milk, which may help babies digest better and grow. It is for premature babies who have started small feedings but are not yet fully feeding.
This trial tests whether diet tracking and lactase enzyme supplements help people with lactose intolerance manage their symptoms. It uses an online survey to gather information.
