Trial summary

Aim of study: To conduct an observational study to collect cerebral and renal perfusion data through NIRS before and after treatment of PDA by medication or by PDA ligation. The data post treatment would form the basis for normative baseline data in VLBW preterm newborn babies, particularly in the Asian population. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Near-Infrared Red Spectroscopy (NIRS) to Measure Cerebral Perfusion During and After Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Treatment in Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) Infants

Aim of study:

To conduct an observational study to collect cerebral and renal perfusion data through NIRS before and after treatment of PDA by medication or by PDA ligation. The data post treatment would form the basis for normative baseline data in VLBW preterm newborn babies, particularly in the Asian population.

Study population/inclusion criteria:

VLBW newborn babies with hemodynamically significant PDA by echocardiography.

Exclusion criteria:

Major malformations Moribund patients

Aim of study:

To conduct an observational study to collect cerebral and renal perfusion data through NIRS before and after treatment of PDA by medication or by PDA ligation. The data post treatment would form the basis for normative baseline data in VLBW preterm newborn babies, particularly in the Asian population.

Study population/inclusion criteria:

VLBW newborn babies with hemodynamically significant PDA by echocardiography.

Exclusion criteria:

Major malformations Moribund patients

Protocol:

Consent will be obtained from parents of eligible newborns before treatment of hemodynamic significant PDA. To attach cerebral and renal oximeter by NIRS to these VLBW infants with PDAs for until 24 hours post closure of PDA. Doppler ultrasound will be performed on anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and/or middle cerebral artery (MCA) artery and/or renal artery(RA) before PDA treatment and/or 24hours after PDA closure.This study aims to use one of the more popular neonatal/paediatrics NIRS machine, which is the INVOS cerebral/somatic oximeter

The same patient will hence form its own control after treatment. Echocardiographic follow-up or clinical assessment for closure of the PDA will be performed 24-48 hours after the course of medication or surgical closure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of PDA, run by Singapore General Hospital at 1 site in Singapore.

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 1 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 10 Feb 2017. 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 Singapore. 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?

cerebral oximetry (time frame: 2 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 10 Feb 2017.
