About this study

Official title: Pilot Study on the Use of a Wearable Remote Electroencephalography Device to Identify Neonates at Risk for Neonatal Seizures and Status Epilepticus

The purpose of this study is to see if the use of wireless brain wave monitoring can be helpful for newborns and help their medical providers identify seizures earlier and to monitor for the risk for seizures.

Read the detailed description

Our goals are to evaluate the effectiveness of the Epilog device in identification of neonates who are at risk for seizures and need formal EEG monitoring or cooling. The current process for these patients would be transfer from Rochester Methodist Hospital to the St. Mary's level 3 NICU for EEG monitoring. Given that in case of neonatal encephalopathy, there is 6-hour window in which to make the critical decision of whether to initiate therapeutic hypothermia or not, rapid access to EEG data is crucial. We would like to perform a pilot study on use of wireless EEG technology in neonates with mild neonatal encephalopathy and neonates with spells to see if this device can be used to determine the risk for neonatal seizure and need for escalation of care and full scalp EEG.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the effectiveness of the Epilog device in identification of neonates who are at risk for seizures and need formal EEG monitoring or cooling

    Total number of neonates that Epilog device identifies as requiring formal EEG monitoring

    Measured: Approximately 2 to 72 hours

  2. Evaluate time to formal long-term EEG monitoring in neonates monitored with the Epilog device compared to a historical control cohort of neonates undergoing EEG evaluation.

    Time from initiation of monitoring with Epilog device to monitoring completion or conversion to formal prolonged EEG monitoring.

    Measured: Approximately 2 to 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Epilog device in people with Neonatal Encephalopathy, run by Mayo Clinic 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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 2024. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Evaluate the effectiveness of the Epilog device in identification of neonates who are at risk for seizures and need formal EEG monitoring or cooling (time frame: Approximately 2 to 72 hours). The study lists 2 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 19 Aug 2024.
