About this study

A prospective non-randomized longitudinal design of 30-40 infants from initiation of oral feeding until discharge to track feeding changes as a potential indicator of surgical recovery.

Read the detailed description

Safe oral feeding is a challenge for infants born with complex congenital heart disease (CHD). These infants are likely to require tube-assisted feeding at the initiation of enteral feeding and struggle to transition to full oral feeding. Infant post-surgery recovery includes a safe transition to oral feeding without respiratory risk. Neoneur Feeding System, consists of a novel hand-held, mobile phone application, and a cloud based computation, which innovatively measures patterns of oral cavity pressure synchronized with respiration, providing a quantitative assessment of feeding patterns. Yet there has been no quantitative means of measuring this recovery process. The concept of post-surgical recovery model is not new. The adult literature is replete with physiologic and behavioral indicators of recovery. More recently Roy and colleagues introduced a recovery model for post-surgical CHD children to adults using a component metrics of physiologic parameters. We are proposing to develop an infant specific recovery model using feeding patterns using data generated by the Neoneur device. The model, using the lens of behavioral organization, will include feeding measurements from initiation of oral feeding to discharge.

This study will evaluate the association between feeding recovery and clinical assessment of infant behaviors as measured in a brief survey to assess irritability, ability to be soothed, alertness, non-nutritive sucking, and muscle tone. Forty infants will be recruited from the PCICU-CSD at MUSC to capture thirty usable infant sets of Neoneur data from the PCICU-CSD at MUSC. This data will be assessed using the Neoneur Feeding System to create a model of feeding recovery.

What participants receive

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

  • Neoneur Feeding SystemDevice

    The Neoneur Feeding System is placed between a nipple and a bottle, and used to measure feeding skill patterns.

What is being measured

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

  1. To test the validity in use of feeding parameters to measure recovery progress for infants with complex CHD

    A comparison of feeding patterns (oral cavity pressure changes in suck and swallow, and respiratory patterns) and changes as an infant recovers and determination if there is a greater than 60% concordance with behavioral survey measuring recovery.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of Neoneur Feeding system measurements seen in post surgical infants, to match clinical observation of suck, swallow, and breathing during oral feeding.

    70% concordance between Neoneur Feeding Trace, and clinical observation

    Measured: 12 months

Infant feeding patterns during standard care. The Neoneur Feeding System captures data such the changes in these feeding patterns can be measured. This study is capturing longitudinal changes over a short period of time, to see if they reflect infant recovery from surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Neoneur Feeding System in people with Neonatal Disease and Post-Surgical Complication, run by Neoneur LLC.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 26 Aug 2024. 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.

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?

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?

To test the validity in use of feeding parameters to measure recovery progress for infants with complex CHD (time frame: 12 months). 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 26 Aug 2024.
