Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 1 minute to 1 week
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: Preterm infants both with and without hsPDA. They will have NIRS monitors placed to measure cerebral and renal regional tissue oxygenation. Those without a hsPDA will be monitored solely around the time of initial echocardiogram. Those with a hsPDA will be monitored around initial echocardiogram and the subsequent echocardiogram after treatment completion.

Who may be able to join

  • preterm infants less than 32 weeks gestation

Who cannot join

  • infection, congenital heart disease, syndromic anomalies, and perinatal asphyxia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Patent Ductus Arteriosus, run by Albany Medical College at 1 site 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2019. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: not enough patients enrolled in 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?

Change in NIRS readings (time frame: 3 days). 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 23 Jan 2019.
