Lactase supplement study for weight gain in preterm infants
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving lactase (a natural enzyme that helps digest milk sugar) to preterm babies helps them gain weight better. It is for infants born between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy who get most of their nutrition through the gut.

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.
This trial looks at how premature babies (born between 28 and 31 weeks, 6 days) who weigh 1000–1500 grams grow and handle their feedings. It only includes babies who are exclusively fed their mother's milk or donor human milk and who don't have serious health problems at the start.
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 study tests whether adding extra nutrients (fortification) to human milk helps very low birth weight or preterm babies grow better in the NICU.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether ELGN-2112 is safe in babies born very early or smaller than expected before birth. It may help doctors understand how to better care for these high-risk newborns.
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.
