First seen Dec 18, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving premature babies (born before 32 weeks) a drug called darbepoetin plus a slow-release intravenous iron can reduce the need for blood transfusions, keep iron levels healthy, and improve brain development. About 120 infants will be enrolled and compared to those receiving standard oral iron. The goal is to find a safer, more effective way to support these vulnerable newborns.
