Caffeine study aims to help preterm babies breathe easier
NCT ID NCT07570121
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a pregnant woman's body handles caffeine and how much of it reaches her unborn baby. Researchers will give a small dose of caffeine to 30 women at risk of preterm delivery before a planned C-section. Blood samples from the mother, placenta, and newborn will help create a computer model of caffeine metabolism during pregnancy. The goal is to learn how to use caffeine safely to treat breathing problems in premature infants.
