What is being measured

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

  1. Absolute hemoglobin concentration

    Measured: 24 hours of life

  2. Percent change in hemoglobin concentration from baseline

    Measured: 24 hours of life

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number/volume of packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusions

    Measured: Participants will be followed from birth until time of hospital discharge, an expected average of 13 weeks

  2. Number of blood donor exposures

    Measured: Participants will be followed from birth until time of hospital discharge, an expected average of 13 weeks.

  3. Use of Vasopressors

    Measured: Participants will be followed from birth until time of hospital discharge, an expected average of 13 weeks.

  4. Hemoglobin concentration at one week of life

    Measured: one week

  5. Hemoglobin concentration at time of hospital discharge

    Measured: Approximately 10 - 16 weeks

  6. Head Ultrasound

    Measured: Read at 7 Days of life and at hospital discharge which is approximately 13 weeks of age

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Drawing admission labs from cord blood and Drawing admission labs from infant blood in people with Anemia, run by Capt Alicia Prescott at 6 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 1 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 20 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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?

Absolute hemoglobin concentration (time frame: 24 hours of life). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02103296, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Aug 2021.
