Helping premature babies heal brain injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment for brain injury in premature babies born before 32 weeks. It aims to protect and repair white matter, the part of the brain that helps nerve cells communicate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born at or before 32 weeks of pregnancy
- Between 35 and 41 weeks old since your last period or ultrasound dating
- Have a brain injury seen on an MRI or ultrasound
- Currently in a hospital intensive care nursery that is part of the study
- No major health issues like genetic disorders, recent bleeding in the brain, or other serious conditions

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if clemastine fumarate, an antihistamine, helps repair myelin (the protective coating around nerves) in people with relapsing-remitting MS. You'd take the drug and have special MRI scans to see if your brain lesions improve.
This early-phase study tests whether clemastine (a drug being studied for “myelin repair”) changes how MS looks on special MRI scans. It may help researchers understand if the treatment supports restoring nerve covering in people with relapsing-remitting MS.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether clemastine can help regrow the protective covering around the optic nerve after acute optic neuritis (an inflammation-related vision problem). It may help improve vision recovery and signal how well “remyelination” happens.
This study looks at early brain scans and other markers to help predict and improve outcomes for newborns with brain injuries that might lead to cerebral palsy. It aims to find better ways to identify these high-risk babies early.
This trial tests whether a liquid form of the medicine sildenafil can help repair brain damage in newborns who had a difficult birth and were treated with cooling. If your baby meets the cooling criteria and has brain injury on an MRI, this study may offer an additional treatment option.
This trial tests if citicoline, a brain-protecting supplement, can help newborns with moderate to severe brain injury from lack of oxygen. It is for babies who have not gotten cooling treatment.
