About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tin Mesoporphyrin (Stannsoporfin) to Reduce the Need for Phototherapy in Term and Near Term Infants.

This is a multi-center, randomized, sham injection-controlled (placebo) masked trial of a single intramuscular injection of Stannsoporfin compared to "sham" (placebo) in healthy term and near-term newborns admitted to the well-baby nursery and enrolled with "intention to treat".

Read the detailed description

For purposes of analysis, 2 patient populations are defined. One population consists of those babies who did not develop severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB <9 mg/dL) during the first 36 hours of age. This population is referred to as the untreated population of screened but not randomized patients. The second population of babies was defined as those infants who develop severe hyperbilirubinemia. These infants were randomized to treatment with either stannsoporfin or the sham injection and will be the focus of the efficacy and safety analysis. This population was referred to as the treated population.

The treated population was used for the efficacy and safety analysis. These infants were randomized to either stannsoporfin or the sham injection treatment group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing stannsoporfin in people with Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases, run by InfaCare Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a Mallinckrodt Company 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 0 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 29 Oct 2019. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Need for Phototherapy (time frame: 30 days). 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 29 Oct 2019.
