First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tests whether giving very premature babies tiny particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) from donor human milk can prevent necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a dangerous gut condition. Twenty infants born before 32 weeks will receive the EVs as a daily supplement. Researchers will check if it is safe and helps with feeding, growth, and development.
