About this study

Investigators propose a prospective study to investigate the effect of full light protection of the PN on cholestasis and other oxidative stress associated diseases in premature infants when they receive PN for more than one week. Each infant enrolled in this study will receive full PN light protection including the PN bag, lipids and tubing. Demographic characteristics, clinical outcomes (incidence of cholestasis, feeding tolerance, BPD, ROP, NEC and mortality) and oxidative stress markers (e.g., carboxyhemeglobin) will be evaluated. Phase one of this study employed a retrospective chart review methodology to evaluate the effect of no PN light protection vs partial PN light protection (PN solution only while it's the tubing and lipids remained exposed to light). Infants from phase one of this study will serve as the controls in the evaluation the effect of full PN light protection on the cholestasis, clinical outcomes and oxidative stress. Investigators propose to collect urine and saliva samples in infants who we expect to receive PN for a minimum of 5 days, on days 0, 3, 5 and every 7 days after TPN initiation until 2 weeks after the end of IV nutrition to evaluate oxidative stress.

    Change from baseline

    Measured: Baseline, 2 weeks after the end of IV nutrition

  3. Serum levels of triglycerides

    Change from baseline

    Measured: Baseline, 2 weeks after the end of IV nutrition

  4. Serum levels of carnitine

    Change from baseline

    Measured: Baseline, 2 weeks after the end of IV nutrition

  5. Serum levels of total bilirubin

    Change from baseline

    Measured: Baseline, 2 weeks after the end of IV nutrition

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Oxidative stress

    Change from baseline

    Measured: Baseline, 2 weeks after the end of IV nutrition

  2. Incidence of bronchopulmonary disease (BPD)

    Measured: Days 0, 3, 5, and every 7 days after TPN initiation until 2 weeks after the end of IV nutrition

  3. Incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)

    Measured: Days 0, 3, 5, and every 7 days after TPN initiation until 2 weeks after the end of IV nutrition

  4. Incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)

    Measured: Days 0, 3, 5, and every 7 days after TPN initiation until 2 weeks after the end of IV nutrition

  5. Mortality

    Measured: Days 0, 3, 5, and every 7 days after TPN initiation until 2 weeks after the end of IV nutrition

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Full parenteral nutrition light protection of the bag, tubing and lipids in people with Premature Birth, run by NYU Langone Health 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 4 inclusion and 0 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 1 Nov 2022. 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. 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?

Serum levels of direct bilirubin (time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks after the end of IV nutrition). The study lists 5 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 1 Nov 2022.
