Could a hormone and a sleep aid prevent brain surgery in preemies?
NCT ID NCT05617833
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests whether giving two medicines—erythropoietin and melatonin—together is safe for very premature babies who have bleeding in the brain. About 60 infants will receive either the drug combination or a placebo, along with standard care, to see if the treatment causes serious side effects. If safe, future studies will check if this approach can prevent the need for lifelong brain shunts.
