Trial summary

Due to the increased risk of brain damage, continuous monitoring of the cerebral oxygenation is interesting. The investigators will evaluate the capability of the INVOS Oximeter to detect induced changes in the cerebral regional saturation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Oxygenation of the Neonatal Brain - a Study Using the INVOS Oximeter

  • Due to the increased risk of brain damage, continuous monitoring of the cerebral oxygenation is interesting. The investigators will evaluate the capability of the INVOS Oximeter to detect induced changes in the cerebral regional saturation.
  • The purpose of the study is to investigate our hypothesis that cerebral vasoconstriction after oxygen exposure is prolonged in preterm infants compared to term infants.
Read the detailed description

Preterm infants are at increased risk of brain damage compared with term infants, and cerebral hypoxia is considered to have an important role. The preterm infants are at increased risk of respiratory distress, episodes with low oxygenation, mechanical ventilation, risk of hypocapnia and labile or low blood pressure. These conditions can affect the microcirculation and hence the oxygenation of the brain. Hyperoxia is also a point of interest, since high levels of oxygen can cause vasoconstriction.

The investigators will examine the normal physiological cerebral response to exposure of oxygen in a group of preterm infants with a gestational age (GA) of 32-37 weeks and a group of term infants.

The investigators will do dynamic research with continuously monitoring of the cerebral oxygenation using the INVOS® Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter (Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS)). Reproducibility is examined by repeated measurements.

There will be no follow-up.

What participants receive

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

  • OxygenDrug

    Oxygen exposure (100% oxygen) for 5 minutes, then 25 minutes with room air. Repeated twice. Continuously monitoring of the cerebral oxygen saturation (NIRS).5 replacements of sensor for reproducibility.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes from baseline of cerebral oxygen saturation after oxygen exposure.

    Measured: Measurements will take between 30 minutes and 3 hours depending of situation. Measurements within the first 4 weeks of life. No follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxygen in people with Response to Hyperoxia, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 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 8 Nov 2013. 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 Denmark. 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?

Changes from baseline of cerebral oxygen saturation after oxygen exposure. (time frame: Measurements will take between 30 minutes and 3 hours depending of situation. Measurements within the first 4 weeks of life. No follow-up.). 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 8 Nov 2013.
