Early warning system for preterm infant gut condition
Part of Digestive system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby must be treated in the neonatology department at one of the participating hospitals.
- You must agree to allow testing of blood samples already taken during routine care, and to the use of those results for this study.
- Your baby must have complete medical records from before and after birth.
- Your baby cannot have certain birth defects, genetic conditions, or be expected to pass away within the first week. Also, if you have twins or triplets, only one of the babies can participate.

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 looks at the gut bacteria of premature babies to see if changes can predict a serious bowel condition (ulcero-necrotizing enterocolitis). It aims to use artificial intelligence to help doctors catch it early.
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.
This study looks at whether a simple stool test and a heart monitor can help doctors predict a serious bowel condition in premature babies who are having trouble feeding. It aims to find early signs so treatment can start sooner.
This study looks at how the gut works in premature babies to better understand digestion and health. It may help improve care for newborns born early.
This study looks at how immune-related “NETs” might protect or possibly harm newborn babies during early inflammation or infection. It may help doctors understand which immune responses are helpful versus risky in the NICU.
