Trial summary

Although thrombocytopenia has been reported as a risk factor for patent ductus arterioses, there is lack of data on the function of platelets in ductal closure. Information on functions of platelets in ductal closure may change the known model for ductus arterioses and may affect the treatment modalities. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Impact of Platelet Count, Platelet Mass Index and Platelet Function Evaluated by Platelet Function Analyzer (PFA-100) on Spontaneous Ductal Closure in Preterm Infants

Although thrombocytopenia has been reported as a risk factor for patent ductus arterioses, there is lack of data on the function of platelets in ductal closure. Information on functions of platelets in ductal closure may change the known model for ductus arterioses and may affect the treatment modalities.

Read the detailed description

Patent ductus arterioses is a common problem which involves both pulmonary and cardiac outcomes in preterm infants. Although thrombocytopenia has been reported as a risk factor for patent ductus arterioses, there is lack of data on the function of platelets in ductal closure.

The investigators aim to investigate the relation between thrombocytopenia and platelet functions in pathogenesis of spontaneous ductal closure. The investigators hypothesize that Information on functions of platelets in ductal closure may change the known model for ductus arterioses and may affect the treatment modalities.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Patent Ductus Arterioses, run by Ankara University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 26 Apr 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

spontaneous ductal closure (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 26 Apr 2016.
