About this study

Official title: Comparison of Cerebral, Renal and Mesenteric Perfusion Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy in Neonates During Patent Ductus Arteriosus Closure With Ibuprofen or Indomethacin.

The purpose of this study is to determine how the medications which are used to close the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants affect brain, kidney and gut blood flow when compared to infants that are not treated with these medications. The medications being used for PDA closure are indomethacin and neoprofen.

Read the detailed description

All babies requiring medical treatment of their PDA will receive up to 3 doses of medication. For babies enrolled in the control group of this study, she/he will not be treated with either of these medicines.

Being tested
INVOS Cerebral/Somatic oximeter
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • INVOS Cerebral/Somatic oximeterDevice

    Placement of sensors on back, abdomen and forehead for measurement of perfusion beginning 1 hour prior to initiation of drug, during medical treatment for PDA and for 24 hours after the last dose. For control infants, monitoring will continue for 48 hours.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in blood flow from baseline in infants treated with indomethacin or neoprofen. Blood flow will be measured in the brain, kidney and mesentery.

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  2. Measure oxygenation/blood flow to brain during PDA treatment

    Measured: Study period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Oxygenation during/after treatment with PDA therapy

    Measured: Study period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Patent Ductus Arteriosus, run by University of Louisville 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 5 inclusion and 6 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2015. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in blood flow from baseline in infants treated with indomethacin or neoprofen. Blood flow will be measured in the brain, kidney and mesentery. (time frame: 48-72 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 26 Jan 2015.
