Trial summary

Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) is an important morbidity affecting premature infants and can have considerable effects on neurodevelopmental outcome. The investigators showed that preterm infants with severe ICH have decreased cerebral oxygenation several weeks after the hemorrhage. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Observational Study in Preterm Infants With and Without Intracranial Hemorrhage: Longitudinal Assessment of Cerebral Oxygenation, Perfusion and Function

Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) is an important morbidity affecting premature infants and can have considerable effects on neurodevelopmental outcome.

The investigators showed that preterm infants with severe ICH have decreased cerebral oxygenation several weeks after the hemorrhage. The mechanisms involved in this state of decreased cerebral oxygenation in preterm infants and the effects on cerebral function are unknown.

This longitudinal observation study will evaluate physiologic parameters to determine trends in cerebral oxygenation and function in preterm infants with ICH in comparison to infants without ICH.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in cerebral oxygenation

    Comparison of the progression of cerebral oxygenation measured non-invasively by near infrared spectroscopy over time in infants with ICH and non-ICH infants.

    Measured: postnatal weeks 4 and 8

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in cerebral perfusion and function

    Comparisons of ultrasound measurements of superior vena cava flow and brain electrical activity by electroencephalography over time in infants with ICH and non-ICH infants.

    Measured: post natal weeks 4 and 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intracranial Hemorrhage and Intraventricular Hemorrhage, run by Nelson Claure 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 18 Nov 2023. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in cerebral oxygenation (time frame: postnatal weeks 4 and 8). 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 18 Nov 2023.
