In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The AdVEMPrem study is exploring whether tiny particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are naturally found in human milk, can help protect very premature babies from serious gut problems such as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). NEC is a dangerous condition that affects the intestines of preterm infants and can lead to long-term health issues. Human milk is the best nutrition for babies, but when a mother's own milk is not available, donor human milk (DHM) is used. EVs in milk carry proteins, fats, and genetic material that may support gut development, immunity, and brain growth. While laboratory studies suggest EVs are beneficial, their effects in premature babies have not yet been proven. In this study, 20 very preterm infants (\<32 weeks of gestation) will be enrolled during their stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). All babies in the study will receive oral s
