NCT ID NCT04584983
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving extremely preterm babies less intravenous fat (lipids) can lower harmful bilirubin levels and reduce the risk of brain damage and hearing problems. Researchers will measure bilirubin in the blood, check brain responses to sound, and follow the babies' development up to age 2. The goal is to find a safer way to feed these fragile infants while protecting their brains.
