Trial summary

In this randomized control trial, the investigators hypothesize that late-preterm infants resuscitated with a "low oxygen delivery" strategy (initiation of resuscitation with room air) will result in a significant reduction in oxidant stress without any harmful clinical effects.

About this study

In this randomized control trial, the investigators hypothesize that late-preterm infants resuscitated with a "low oxygen delivery" strategy (initiation of resuscitation with room air) will result in a significant reduction in oxidant stress without any harmful clinical effects.

Read the detailed description

The delivery of high oxygen concentrations leads to the production of free radicals that can injure many organ systems. Some studies have shown that resuscitation of term newborn infants with room air were safe and of great benefit. A static room air, however, may be inappropriate for resuscitation of preterm infants. The number of late-preterm infants has increased in recent years, which represent approximately 70% of all preterm infants. Our study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of using room air during resuscitation of late-preterm infants and whether this will avoid oxidative stress derived damage and improve outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resuscitation and 100% oxygen in people with Asphyxia, run by Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 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 28 Oct 2014. 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 China. 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?

oxidative stress status (time frame: 7 days). 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 28 Oct 2014.
