About this study

Official title: Validation of Bilirubin Binding Capacity (BBC) Using AVIV Device

The aims of this observational bench project are to validate the performance of the miniaturized and modernized hematofluorometer that measures bilirubin capacity into a product and is suitable for operation in various point of care environments w in the management of preterm neonates.

Read the detailed description

The status of bilirubin binding to albumin (Alb) is central to personalized management of unconjugated newborn hyperbilirubinemia, especially those at risk of bilirubin-induced neurologic dysfunction (BIND) (1). Our objectives were to validate the Aviv Bili-4 Hematofluorometer in the context of its usefulness and ease of use based on ad hoc clinical studies and surveys of end-users. In addition, we continued our efforts to validate the Bili-4 device in order to facilitate Aviv, Inc. in their development of claims of the most appropriate use of bilirubin binding capacity (BBC) information in the management of neonates. Neonatal blood samples were obtained from newborns born at Stanford University's LPCH with gestational ages (GA) ranging from 22-40 wks. Total bilirubin (TB), Alb and apparent serum unbound bilirubin (UB) concentrations were measured or calculated. Ratios of bound bilirubin (BB) to reserve Alb binding capacity for bilirubin (RABC) were also determined. Bilirubin binding capacity (BBC) by hematofluorometry (Hmf) was compared to the calculated BBC (or 8.8 × Alb) using Alb levels as measured by the clinical laboratory. We report the progress of this inquiry at the Stanford University (1).

    Observation study

What is being measured

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

  1. Bilirubin Binding Capacity (BBC) on healthy and at-risk infants for impaired binding capacity by hematofluorometery assay

    To define normative data (mean, median, range, inter-quartile ranges) among these deemed healthy infants (including those who are at- risk) for increased vulnerability to impaired binding soon after birth

    Measured: <14 days of life

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Natural history of BBC and stratification of those at risk of disordered bilirubin binding

    To delineate the prospective natural history of BBC and stratify those at most or least likely at risk of impaired bilirubin binding

    Measured: <14 days of life

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Jaundice, Neonatal and Hyperbilirubinemia, run by Stanford University at 2 sites 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 0 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 28 Sep 2021. 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 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?

Bilirubin Binding Capacity (BBC) on healthy and at-risk infants for impaired binding capacity by hematofluorometery assay (time frame: <14 days 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 NCT02612207, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Sep 2021.
