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 feeding plans for babies born before 29 weeks to see which one lowers the risk of a serious gut problem called NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis), improves survival, and helps brain development. It tests whether starting with donated breast milk or special formula affects outcomes.
This study tests a new system to catch a serious bowel infection called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) early in premature babies. By identifying warning signs sooner, doctors hope to prevent severe complications and improve outcomes.
This study tests whether giving a mixture of several helpful bacteria (probiotics) can prevent a serious gut infection called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in very premature babies. If your baby qualifies, they will receive the probiotic or a placebo (an inactive substance) to see if it helps protect their intestines.
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.
This study tests whether feeding extremely preterm babies only human milk (no formula) affects early health outcomes, including risks that may develop later. It also includes term-born babies for comparison. The study is mainly about feeding and safety, and you would follow the study’s feeding plan.
