About this study

Official title: Autologous Cord Blood Cells for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy Study 1. Phase I Study of Feasibility and Safety.

This is a pilot study to test feasibility of collection, preparation and infusion of a baby's own (autologous)umbilical cord blood in the first 14 days after birth if the baby is born with signs of brain injury.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of infusions of autologous (the patient's own)umbilical cord blood cells in term gestation newborn infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. For this study, infants who have signs of moderate to severe encephalopathy at birth whose mothers have previously consented to providing cord blood cells for the Carolinas Cord Blood Bank or other public or private bank that uses accepted standards for collection and handling of cells, or provided verbal consent for cord blood collection for the possibility of their baby's participation in this trial, can receive their own cord blood cells if an adequate number of cells that meet Carolinas Cord Blood Bank Quality standards are available in the first 14 postnatal days. Study activities also include serial blood draws concurrent with clinically indicated blood draws with a total volume of no more than 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon) from all study related tests. Babies will be followed for neurodevelopmental outcome at 4 - 6 and 9 - 12 months at Duke's Special Infant Care Clinic. MRI's will be obtained per clinical routine and results will be analyzed and described in study reports.

What participants receive

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

  • infusion of autologous cord bloodBiological

    infants who meet study enrollment criteria for history of moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in the neonatal period will receive up to 4 infusions of their own volume reduced cord blood cells. The number of doses will be determined by the amount of available cord blood cells. The dose for each infusion is 5x10e7 cells/kg

  • Neurodevelopmental outcomesOther

    historical controls, no experimental intervention, standard therapies of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in the newborn period with autologous cord blood

Study groups in NCT00593242
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
infusionsExperimentalinfants who arrive at the study site within the first 14 postnatal days and had a history of moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, and have cells available for infusion that pass Carolinas Cord Blood Bank Quality checks Outcomes will be measured at 22-26 months fby neurodevelopment assessment
Receives: Biological: infusion of autologous cord blood
historical controlOtherInfants who had moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in the neonatal period but did not receive autologous cord blood cells.
Receives: Other: Neurodevelopmental outcomes

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse event rates occurring in the pilot study population will be compared between the cord blood cell recipients and historical controls.

    Measured: during infusions: first 18 postnatal days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Secondary endpoints of this pilot study will include preliminary efficacy as measured by neurodevelopmental function at 4 - 6 months and 9 - 12 months of age

    Measured: 1 year

  2. neuroimaging results will be collected and compared with available results from prior trials of therapies in this population, and from a previously collected set of images from normal term newborns through the first year of life.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing infusion of autologous cord blood and Neurodevelopmental outcomes in people with Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy, run by Michael Cotten 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 16 May 2024. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse event rates occurring in the pilot study population will be compared between the cord blood cell recipients and historical controls. (time frame: during infusions: first 18 postnatal days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00593242, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 16 May 2024.
