Airway germs to predict lung disease in premature babies
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the natural bacteria and germs in a premature baby's airways to see if they can help predict whether the baby will develop a lung problem called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The goal is to find early clues that help doctors take better care of these babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 33 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby is less than 10 days old right now.
- Your baby is staying in one of the participating hospital nurseries.

This trial studies a breath test to predict lung disease in very premature babies. It could help doctors start treatment earlier to prevent serious breathing problems.
This study looks at how the germs in a baby's gut and their immune system respond to bronchiolitis (a common lung infection). If your baby is under 12 months and gets bronchiolitis during the RSV season, their participation could help us understand why some babies get very sick and others don't.
This study looks at medical information from premature babies to find early signs of a lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which can affect breathing. The goal is to help doctors predict and manage this condition better.
This study looks at babies born very early who have severe lung disease (grade 3 BPD) and still need a breathing machine. Researchers will use tests to understand their lung problems better, which may help guide their care.
This study looks at very early signs of a lung problem called bronchopulmonary dysplasia in babies born before 26 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to find better ways to predict and maybe prevent this condition.
This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles (microplastics) in the breathing tube used for premature babies on a ventilator might be linked to a lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). It aims to help understand if these particles could increase the risk of lung problems in these vulnerable infants.
