Trial summary

The study is a non-blinded trial with one single intervention in sick newborn infants. The Neosense umbilical catheter will be used instead of the routinely used umbilical catheter on infants where the treating physician has ordered use of an umbilical catheter. Read more about this study

About this study

The study is a non-blinded trial with one single intervention in sick newborn infants. The Neosense umbilical catheter will be used instead of the routinely used umbilical catheter on infants where the treating physician has ordered use of an umbilical catheter. The catheter will be connected to the Neosense monitor/measuring unit.

Blood samples for blood gas analysis are collected from the patients according to the clinical routine (every 4th to 6th hour). Oxygen tension data from the Neosense measuring system, from the time points when a blood gas sample was collected, will be recorded. This data will be compared to the oxygen tension value from the blood gas sample collected at the same time point. The blood gas samples will be analysed according to clinical and laboratory routine.

The infants will remain in the study as long as the Neosense measuring system is used.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurement performance of an intravascular oxygen sensor in the Neosense system.

    The oxygen tension measured by the Neosense system, compared to the oxygen tension measured by a blood gas analyser.

    Measured: Average of measurement comparisons done at every blood gas sample, i.e. every 4th - 6th hour during the study (up to 8 days)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Clinical complications with the Neosense catheter.

    The number of occasions when the Neosense catheter had to be removed and the underlying reason. This includes all anticipated device effects as well as placing the catheter in the wrong vessel, impossible to measure blood pressure, collect blood samples and/or administer fluids.

    Measured: During study, up to 8 days

  2. Any deviations from normal procedures when inserting an umbilical catheter.

    Number of attempts to place the catheter for each patient. Any accessories needed to introduce or handle the Neosense catheter.

    Measured: During day 1

  3. Number of monitor lockups or battery depletions

    Timepoint for monitor lockup or battery depletion, in case of occurrence.

    Measured: During study, in average 4-5 days

  4. Usability and functionality of the Neosense monitor.

    Occurence of anticipated adverse device effects for the monitor.

    Measured: During study, in average 4-5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Neosense Umbilical Catheter in people with Catheters and Oxygen Saturation, run by Neosense Technologies at 2 sites in Sweden.

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 10 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2022. 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 Sweden. 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 was stopped early (reason given: The clinical investigation IMPROVE has been closed after a decision by the Swedish Medical Products Agency that the trial must comply to the new European medical regulation MDR.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Measurement performance of an intravascular oxygen sensor in the Neosense system. (time frame: Average of measurement comparisons done at every blood gas sample, i.e. every 4th - 6th hour during the study (up to 8 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 1 Feb 2022.
