Trial summary

The proposed research evaluates tissue oxygenation (StO2) as measured by resonance raman spectroscopy (RRS) in premature infants with and without patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). This is a prospective observational study of infants born at < 30 weeks of gestation. Read more about this study

About this study

The proposed research evaluates tissue oxygenation (StO2) as measured by resonance raman spectroscopy (RRS) in premature infants with and without patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). This is a prospective observational study of infants born at < 30 weeks of gestation. The primary aim of this study is to determine if the difference in pre- and post-ductal StO2 as detected by RRS is more significant in premature infants with PDA in comparison to infants without PDA. The secondary aim of this study is to determine if the difference in pre- and post-ductal StO2 as detected by RRS is more significant in infant who develop serious adverse events.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Resonance Raman Spectroscopy (RRS)Device

    Pre and post-ductal RRS measurements will be obtained daily for a maximum of 14 data collection times in infants with and without PDAs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Differences and pre- and post-ductal RRS measurements of tissue oxygenation.

    Pre- and post-ductal tissues oxygenation as measured by RRS may be more significant in infants with PDA.

    Measured: Up to a maximum of 14 data collection times

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Are differences in pre- and post-ductal StO2 as detected by RRS more significant in infants with serious adverse events.

    RRS measurements and the difference between pre- and post-ductal tissue oxygenation will be evaluated in infants with serious adverse events to determine if the measurements could have predicted the serious adverse event.

    Measured: Up to a maximum of 14 data collection times

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Premature Infant and Patent Ductus Arteriosus, run by University of Florida at 2 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 2 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 10 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

Differences and pre- and post-ductal RRS measurements of tissue oxygenation. (time frame: Up to a maximum of 14 data collection times). 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 10 Sep 2019.
