Trial summary

Neonatal anoxic-ischaemic enkephalopathy is a dramatic perinatal complication due to brain asphyxia. Neurological and neurosensory sequelae are frequent in survivors, due to neuronal damage and loss. For the moment, only total or partial body hypothermia can partially prevent cell loss. Read more about this study

About this study

Neonatal anoxic-ischaemic enkephalopathy is a dramatic perinatal complication due to brain asphyxia. Neurological and neurosensory sequelae are frequent in survivors, due to neuronal damage and loss.

For the moment, only total or partial body hypothermia can partially prevent cell loss. However, no treatment exists to restore neuronal functions.

Cord blood stem cells are a promising treatment for the near future. However, before conducting a clinical trial to evaluate the safety and feasibility of autologous cell therapy in neonatal asphyxia, in vitro characterization of the cord blood stem cell in situation of neonatal asphyxia, compared to normal situation, is needed.

The primary objective of this study is to characterize cord blood stem cells of neonates with neonatal asphyxia and to compare them with those from healthy newborn. The quantitative and qualitative, functional characterization will insist on cell populations which could potentially participate to neuronal regeneration. Secondary objectives are to assess such characteristics in conditions of cryo-preservation, compared to fresh cell preparation

Read the detailed description

Methods :

Descriptive, bi-centre study on 10 cord blood samples from newborn infants with neonatal asphyxia (5) according to pre-defined criteria, compared healthy neonates (5). The total duration of the study will be 2 years. Parents will be informed and a signed parental consent will be asked in the hours following birth before the in vitro study.

Biological analysis will include elementary analyses for cell quality control, endothelial progenitor exploration, and investigation of mesenchymal stem cells function and of their neuronal differentiation potential (on fresh and frozen samples).

Statistical analysis: comparison between the 2 groups (neonatal asphyxia versus control) would use non parametric test (Mann-Whitney)

This study will allow to evaluate the therapeutic potential of cord blood stem cells autologous transplantation in neonatal asphyxia. It will contribute to the determination of the feasibility of a clinical trail of autologous, cord blood stem cells therapy in such disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing in vitro characterization of the cord blood stem cell in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

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 2 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 3 Aug 2016. 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 France. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary objective of this study is to characterize cord blood stem cells of neonates with neonatal asphyxia and to compare them with those from healthy newborn (time frame: two years). 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 3 Aug 2016.
