Trial summary

Hypothesis: In this feasibility study, hyperoxemia, as approximated by transcutaneous hemoglobin saturation with oxygen (Sp02), at the time of birth will cause sustained pulmonary oxidative stress as demonstrated by elevation of pulmonary protein carbonyl. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Oxygen Exposure During Newborn Resuscitation and Pulmonary Oxidative Stress

Hypothesis: In this feasibility study, hyperoxemia, as approximated by transcutaneous hemoglobin saturation with oxygen (Sp02), at the time of birth will cause sustained pulmonary oxidative stress as demonstrated by elevation of pulmonary protein carbonyl. Furthermore, this oxidative stress will be directly proportional to the imposed oxygen-burden during resuscitation at the time of birth.

This study will give us information regarding the magnitude of protein carbonyl elevation in the preterm infant. With these results we will be able to 1. establish the technique for the running or protein carbonyl assays and 2. calculate an appropriate sample size for a future randomized control trial.

Read the detailed description

Immediately prior to birth, preterm infants (<= 32 weeks gestation) will be randomized to one of three groups: 1. Low Oxygen Burden (LOB) - initiation of resuscitation with 21% 02, II. Moderate Oxygen Burden (MOB) - initiation of resuscitation with 100% 02 and III. High Oxygen Burden (HOB) - 100% 02 used for the entire resuscitation. A pulse oximetry monitor will be connected to a probe on the infant's hand to measure the transcutaneous hemoglobin saturation with oxygen (Sp02). Adjustments to the inspired oxygen concentration will be made every 15 seconds for infants in the LOB and MOB groups to achieve a target Sp02 range of 85-92%. Resuscitation will otherwise proceed as per standard of care. The intervention will end upon arrival in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing titration of oxygen during resuscitation in people with Prematurity and Oxidative Pulmonary Injury, run by University of Calgary at 1 site in Canada.

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 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 7 Nov 2006. 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 Canada. 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?

protein carbonyl concentration in the tracheal aspirate on day 1. 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 7 Nov 2006.
