About this study

The purpose of this study is early identification of asphyxiated newborns through eeg starting in the delivery room.

Read the detailed description

There is a need for a reliable detector of birth asphyxia so that newborns with birth asphyxia can have timely and accurate diagnosis to receive therapeutic hypothermia within 6 hrs of life, which has been shown to significantly reduce deaths and improve long term developmental outcomes.

This study is designed to record EEG during birth transition through the first 10 minutes of life.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Encephalopathy and Asphyxia Newborns, run by Sharp HealthCare 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 1 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 7 Sep 2018. 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?

EEG recorded (time frame: Birth to 10 minutes of life). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02445417, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 7 Sep 2018.
