  • Ages Up to 8 hours
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: Term infants.

Who may be able to join

  • Infants born via cesarean delivery (to ensure subjects would still be hospitalized and available for ETCOc measurement and blood sampling on day 3 postpartum)

About this study

Official title: BilirubinProduction in Healthy Term Infants as Measured by Carbon Monoxide in Breath

The objective of this study was to describe total bilirubin production in healthy term infants as a means of understanding the differences in jaundice pigment production associated with various common clinical circumstances.

Read the detailed description

Jaundice occurs in most human neonates during the several days after birth. The objective of this study was to describe total bilirubin production in healthy term infants as a means of understanding the differences in jaundice pigment production associated with various common clinical circumstances.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infant, Newborn and Jaundice, run by NICHD Neonatal Research Network at 13 sites 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 1 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 22 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites 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?

End-tidal carbon End-tidal carbon monoxide levels corrected for ambient air (ETCOc) (time frame: 2-8 hours of age). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01203410, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 22 Mar 2019.
