NCT ID NCT06518603
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving caffeine citrate to moderately preterm infants for up to 28 days after hospital discharge can prevent dangerous breathing pauses (apnea) that lead to sick visits. About 340 babies in Zambia will receive either caffeine or a placebo daily, with parents tracking symptoms and researchers checking development at 12 months. The goal is to see if this simple treatment can reduce emergency visits and improve long-term outcomes.
