Tiny babies, big hope: can a common steroid free them from breathing machines?

NCT ID NCT07447739

Summary

This study is testing if a steroid medication called betamethasone can help babies born extremely early (before 28 weeks) come off breathing machines safely. It aims to see if the medicine reduces their risk of developing a serious, long-term lung disease common in preemies. The study will also carefully monitor the babies for any side effects on their growth and development over two years.
