Fetal growth restriction

This study tests if a new growth hormone medicine (somapacitan) given once a week works as well as the standard daily growth hormone (Norditropin) for children who are very short due to being born small, or having Turner syndrome, Noonan syndrome, or unknown causes. About 412 chi…

This study tests a new once-weekly growth hormone medicine (somapacitan) against a daily one (Norditropin) in 62 children born small who remain short. The goal is to see if the weekly shot works as well and is safe. Children receive injections either once a week or once a day for…

This study tests whether giving melatonin to pregnant women with a severe form of fetal growth restriction can help their babies. The trial will involve 240 women who will take either melatonin or a placebo nightly. Researchers will track baby growth, pregnancy length, and newbor…

This study looks at whether giving pasteurized donor milk instead of formula to newborns who need extra feeding helps mothers breastfeed longer. It includes babies born small, late preterm, or to mothers with diabetes. About 112 infants will be randomly assigned to receive donor …

This study tests a new growth hormone medicine called somapacitan, given once a week, in 47 children who are very short due to being born small for gestational age, or having Turner syndrome, Noonan syndrome, or idiopathic short stature. The main goal is to see if it is safe and …

This study in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, tests whether giving protein supplements only to pregnant women who are undernourished can prevent problems like low birth weight and stillbirth. Over 6,700 pregnant women are randomly assigned to receive supplements either universally or only…

This study tests whether pregnant women who eat two eggs daily have babies with longer birth lengths and better development. Researchers in Rwanda are giving eggs to some women and comparing them to those eating their usual diet. The goal is to see if this simple, affordable food…

This study looks at 290 full-term babies who were small at birth due to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Researchers will measure their body fat and muscle using a special machine, and track their growth and feeding for three months. The goal is to find different types of …

This study watches a single gynecology resident as they learn to perform a hysterectomy through the vagina using a special camera, leaving no belly scars. The goal is to see how quickly the resident improves, measuring surgery time and any complications. Nineteen women with benig…

This observational study looks at preterm babies born with early fetal growth restriction (poor growth in the womb) to understand how factors like mother's health and blood flow changes in the womb affect the baby's health after birth. Researchers will compare 200 such babies to …

This study observes heart function in 216 newborns born at 35 weeks or later. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure how the heart relaxes and fills with blood, creating normal reference values. They will also check if factors like mother's health or birth conditions affect h…

This study is creating a biobank—a collection of blood samples and health data—to help researchers better understand gynecological disorders, infertility in men and women, and pregnancy-related conditions. Up to 3,000 participants will provide samples at San Raffaele Hospital in …

This study was designed to see if a special MRI technique could measure blood flow in the placenta during pregnancy. The goal was to compare placentas in pregnancies where the baby is growing poorly (IUGR) with healthy pregnancies. However, the study was withdrawn before any part…

This study looks at children and teenagers with growth hormone deficiency or who were born small for their age. It tracks how closely they follow their prescribed Norditropin® treatment and whether that affects their final height. The study is observational, meaning no new treatm…
