New approach to reduce breathing pauses in preemies
Part of Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to reduce the number of times a preemie baby stops breathing (apnea). It's for babies born early who have apnea but are not on a breathing machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born more than 6 weeks early (before 34 weeks of pregnancy)
- Less than 30 days old at the start of the study
- Diagnosed with apnea of prematurity (breathing pauses that happen in preemies)
- Not on a breathing machine (ventilator)
- No major birth defects
- Not being treated for a serious infection (sepsis) or bleeding in the brain (grade 3 or higher)

This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
This trial studies whether the medicine doxapram can better treat breathing pauses (apnea) in very preterm babies who are already on breathing support in the NICU. It aims to reduce the need for extra interventions and improve outcomes in this high-risk group.
This study checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
This study uses monitoring to predict when premature infants might stop breathing (apnea) and have a slow heart rate (bradycardia). If your baby was born very early and has had these episodes recently, this study may help doctors anticipate them.
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
This Phase 3 study tests ways to protect brain health in newborns who are very premature or recently born and need a breathing machine through a tube. It may help reduce the risk of brain injury while they receive intensive care.
