Gut health study for preterm infants
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is born before 32 weeks of pregnancy
- Your baby is less than 5 days old at the start
- Your baby does not have severe bowel, heart, or genetic problems
- Your baby is not part of triplets or more
- Your baby was not severely deprived of oxygen at birth
- Your baby can tolerate milk or formula without issues

This study looks at differences in the gut bacteria of babies born early (preterm) compared with babies born full-term. It may help researchers understand how early birth affects early health and gut development.
This study looks at how common stomach and gut issues are in babies who were born early or had problems at birth, and how these issues change over time.
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 looks at how gut bacteria and sleep patterns affect early childhood development. It tests a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) in premature and full-term babies to see if it improves their development and behavior.
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 how the gut bacteria (microbiome) develop in babies born early and whether giving a small amount of the mother's stool to the baby (fecal transplant) can help. It might help premature infants have healthier gut bacteria.
