What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests whether a small, wireless adhesive thermometer can continuously monitor the body temperature of preterm babies (born between 32 and 37 weeks) during the first 15 minutes after birth, as well as their mothers during delivery. The goal is to see if this non-invasive device is feasible, accurate compared to standard rectal temperature readings, and gentle on the skin. The study also explores whether the mother's temperature during labor relates to the baby's temperature after birth, which could help improve thermal care for vulnerable newborns.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
SteadyTemp® adhesive thermometer (wireless, non-invasive skin sensor)
What this could lead to
If this works, it could lead to better ways to keep preterm babies at a safe temperature right after birth, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply to all preterm babies. The sensor might not stay in place or could irritate the skin.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of preterm neonates born between 32+0 and 36+6 weeks of gestation and their mothers at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the Medical University of Graz, Austria, and the University Hospital Essen, Germany. Eligible mother-preterm neonate pairs will be recruited before delivery after written informed consent has been obtained. Neonates will undergo routine postnatal care, with additional continuous temperature monitoring using the investigational device during the immediate postnatal transition.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Preterm neonates born between 32+0 and 36+6 weeks of gestation. * Written informed consent obtained from the mother (or legally authorized representative, where applicable according to national legislation) before delivery and before any study-specific procedures are performed. Exclusion Criteria: * Gestational age \<32+0 weeks or ≥37+0 weeks. * No decision to conduct full life support. * Written informed consent not obtained before delivery. * Congenital malformation.
