Checking aluminum in IV nutrition for preterm babies
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks the level of aluminum (a metal that can be harmful in large amounts) in the IV nutrition given to premature babies. The goal is to make sure the nutrition is safe and to find a way to test it easily at the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 37 weeks of pregnancy (preterm).
- Your baby is currently in the NICU at Peking University Third Hospital.
- Your baby has been receiving nutrition through an IV (parenteral nutrition) for at least 5 days.
- Your baby's medical records are complete, and a parent or guardian has given written permission.

This study checks how much of certain proteins (amino acids) premature babies need when they get all their nutrition through an IV. It aims to make sure babies get the right amounts to grow well.
This study looks at how much phenylalanine, methionine, and histidine premature babies need while they are fed only through a vein (TPN). The goal is to make sure the nutrient amounts in TPN support healthy growth safely.
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving a specific IV iron (darbe plus IV iron) can help preterm babies need fewer blood transfusions while still keeping their iron levels in a safe range. It focuses on babies in the NICU who were born early, and it compares transfusion use and iron sufficiency over time.
This study looks at the nutritional status of children aged 1 month to 5 years who are admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to understand how their nutrition is affected during critical illness, which may help improve care.
This study looks at whether giving donor breast milk to premature babies born between 29 and 32 weeks helps them feed better and grow. If your baby is in the NICU and eligible, they may receive donor breast milk for most of their feedings.
This study tests whether giving iron supplements 4 times a week is better than daily iron for premature babies. It aims to improve hemoglobin levels at 6 months.
