Testing a treatment from donor breast milk for early preterm babies
Part of Digestive system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies a treatment made from special particles in donor breast milk, given to very early-born babies who are at risk of a serious gut infection called NEC. It aims to see if these particles can help protect their intestines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born very early — before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby is between newborn and 14 days old when starting the study.
- The doctors think your baby is at risk of a serious bowel infection called NEC.
- Your baby does not have major birth defects or serious gut problems.
- Your baby is not taking part in any other treatment study.

This study compares different ways of feeding very premature babies to see which method helps prevent serious gut problems, reduces the risk of death, and supports brain growth. If your baby is born very early, this research may help find the safest feeding approach.
This study tests a monitoring tool to help doctors spot a serious gut problem in premature babies born before 32 weeks. If the tool works, it could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
This study tests whether giving premature babies a daily probiotic (a mix of healthy bacteria) can help prevent a serious gut condition called necrotizing enterocolitis. If it works, it could keep your baby safer and healthier.
This study looks at how premature babies grow and handle feeding when they get breast milk or donor milk. It aims to find the best ways to feed preterm infants to help them gain weight and stay healthy.
This trial looks at whether it’s safer to temporarily withhold (pause) breast milk or formula feeds around the time of a blood transfusion in very premature babies. It may help reduce gut-related complications like NEC, a serious intestinal problem.
This study looks at how different types of feeding affect the gut of very preterm babies when they receive a blood transfusion. If your baby qualifies, the team will do extra monitoring and ultrasound scans to learn more about gut health during transfusions.
