About this study
Primary aim is to evaluate the effect of blood transfusion on oxidant-antioxidant status in premature neonates. Secondary aim is to assess the effect of the age of transfused red blood cells on the biological markers of oxidative stress.
Read the detailed description
Oxidant-antioxidant status will be assessed by measuring total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as antioxidant minerals, in 65 term and near-term neonates.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing packed red blood cells transfusion in people with Blood Transfusion Complication and Oxidative Stress, run by Rania Ali El-Farrash at 1 site in Egypt.
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 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 2 Sep 2020. 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 Egypt. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.
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?
malondialdehyde (time frame: 2-3 hours posttransfusion). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Sep 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
