About this study

Background Neonatal hypoglycemia is one of the most common metabolic disorders in neonatology. Maintaining stable levels of glucose in the transition from fetal life to life after birth is very important. Yet, except for the recognizing of at-risk populations, there are not many individual measures which can help and predict which newborns (from at-risk populations) will develop hypoglycemia and which will not.

OBJECTIVE our objective is to try to characterize by the mother's glucose levels at birth and by umbilical cord glucose levels who would be at increased risk of hypoglycemia in the hours after birth in the population that is at increased risk of this complication in advance.

PATIENTS \& METHODS All women who arrived to the delivery room at Lis hospital and which the newborn is about to undergo glucose levels follow-up after birth regardless the study, because his affiliation to the at-risk population including: delivery below 37th week, maternal diabetes during pregnancy and newborns in weight under percentile 10 or above percentile 90 by Dolberg graphs.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Blood samplesProcedure or surgery

    After birth - taking blood sample from the umbilical cord (arterial and venous) + blood sample from the patient.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Blood samples in people with Neonatal Hypoglycemia, run by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center.

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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yariv Yogev, professor (052-7360616, yarivy@tlvmc.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cord blood glucose levels as a predictor to newborns Hypoglycemia (time frame: 2 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 20 Jul 2016.
