Trial summary

We believe that how a baby with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)does after a major open heart operation, measured by things like blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate and others, may have an impact on development. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Neurodevelopmental Outcomes and Postoperative Hemodynamics in Children With Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

We believe that how a baby with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)does after a major open heart operation, measured by things like blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate and others, may have an impact on development. Studying how post-operative condition impacts outcomes may help us to protect babies better when they undergo surgery.

This study will look at some of the long-term outcomes of children with HLHS, including both mental development and quality of life. We will use information from your child's medical record to see if early oxygen delivery has an impact on later development.

Read the detailed description

Over the past twenty years, the field of congenital heart disease has been marked by globally improved survival after complex congenital heart surgery. These improved results are clearly multi-factorial and include advances in diagnostic technologies, surgical techniques, perfusion strategies, pharmacologic therapies and perioperative monitoring of tissue oxygen delivery.

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) represents an extreme form of complex congenital heart disease in which the infant has prolonged cyanosis and a single systemic right ventricle. Staged palliation beginning with surgery in the neonatal period is the most common approach to infants with HLHS. After initial surgical palliation, infants are critically ill due to ischemia/reperfusion injury from cardiopulmonary bypass, coronary ischemia attributed to diastolic runoff, reduced total ventricular mass, continued hypoxemia during a time of increased metabolic demands, and finally, the inherent inefficiency of parallel circulation. The presence of any one of these physiologic derangements places the infant with HLHS at great risk for ischemia, organ dysfunction, circulatory collapse and, even, death. Postoperative monitoring of venous oximetry and, more recently, near infrared spectroscopy, have identified periods of impaired oxygen delivery and ischemia, allowed for interventions that enhance oxygen delivery and improved survival after cardiac surgery. Although, an apparent relationship exists between oxygen delivery and survival after cardiac surgery, little data is available on the relationship between oxygen delivery and neurodevelopmental outcomes (inclusive of neurocognitive and neuropsychologic outcomes).

Preliminary data from our center has recently identified that reduced venous oximetry was associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. These initial findings warrant further investigation of neurologic injury, specifically, how such morbidity relates to perioperative ischemia and cerebral oxygen delivery. Hence, the purpose of this study is to understand the relationship of perioperative tissue dysoxia and long-term neurodevelopmental morbidity in children subject to oxygen delivery at which neurodevelopment is compromised. Identification of a critical threshold that may be devastating to a child's neurodevelopment and quality of life would allow for early intervention, goal-directed therapy and ultimately, improve outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, run by Medical College of Wisconsin at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Aug 2019.
