About this study

Official title: Early Plasma Protein Levels and Neonatal Hemodynamics: a Prospective Evaluation in Very Preterm Infants

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between early plasma protein levels and hemodynamics in very preterm infants during postnatal transition. Secondary aims are the following: i) to evaluate maternal and neonatal factors affecting plasma protein level at birth; ii) to evaluate the relationship between plasma protein level and albumin level on the first day of life; iii) to evaluate the association between early hypoproteinemia and neonatal mortality and morbidity in very preterm infants.

Being tested
Evaluation of the relationship plasma protein levels - neonatal hemodynamics
Keywords
Preterm baby, Total plasma protein, Albumin, Hemodynamic disturbances, Perfusion, Near Infra Red Spectroscopy (NIRS), Ultrasound

What participants receive

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

  • Evaluation of the relationship plasma protein levels - neonatal hemodynamicsOther

    • Patient inclusion at birth
    • Total plasma protein values measurement on cord blood sample at birth
    • Hemodynamic evaluation at 6 hours after birth with colour doppler echocardiography and organ blood flow colour doppler
    • Total plasma protein and albumin values measurement on plasma sample at 12 hours after birth
    • Blood pressure, heart rate, O2 saturation, capillary refill time, rSO2 [regional (cerebral and somatic) tissue oxygenation by NIRS - near infrared spectroscopy] will be monitored over 24 hours after birth.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evidence of clinical hemodynamic disturbances defined by arterial hypotension (non-invasive measure of MAP - mmHg - pathological for gestational age) or measured at organ colour doppler, echocardiography or NIRS

    Measured: about 6 hours after birth

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. plasma protein

    plasma protein level on cord blood sample depending on maternal and neonatal variables

    Measured: at 1 second after birth (cord blood sample)

  2. Albumin level

    Measured: At 12 hours after birth

  3. Mortality rate

    Measured: patients will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, that is an average of 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Very Preterm Infants, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Réunion at 2 sites 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 3 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 1 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Evidence of clinical hemodynamic disturbances defined by arterial hypotension (non-invasive measure of MAP - mmHg - pathological for gestational age) or measured at organ colour doppler, echocardiography or NIRS (time frame: about 6 hours after birth). 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 1 Oct 2018.
