Trial summary

Among term infants, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy due to acute perinatal asphyxia remains an important cause of brain injury in childhood. Infants with moderate encephalopathy have a 10 percent risk of death, and those who survive have a 30 percent risk of disabilities. Read more about this study

Who may be able to join

  • pH of 7.0 or less or a base deficit of 16 mmol per liter or more in a sample of umbilical cord blood or any blood during the first hour after birth.

About this study

Official title: Modified Whole-Body Hypothermia for Neonates With Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy

Among term infants, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy due to acute perinatal asphyxia remains an important cause of brain injury in childhood. Infants with moderate encephalopathy have a 10 percent risk of death, and those who survive have a 30 percent risk of disabilities. Sixty percent of infants with severe encephalopathy die, and many, if not all, survivors are disabled. Whole-body hypothermia reduces the risk of death or disability in infants with moderate or severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Read the detailed description

Reductions in brain temperature by 2°C to 5°C provide neuroprotection in newborn and adult animal models of brain ischemia.Brain cooling has a favorable effect on multiple pathways contributing to brain injury, including excitatory amino acids, the cerebral energy state, cerebral blood flow and metabolism, nitric oxide production, and apoptosis. Brain cooling is effective in reducing the extent of brain injury even when it is initiated up to 5.5 hours after brain ischemia in near-term sheep fetuses.But, epidemiological data showed that, in non-developed countries and areas,Whole-body hypothermia is related to the increased mortality and brain injury. The cause is unclear.

What is being measured

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

  1. death

    neonates are dead during hospital

    Measured: 30 days

  2. brain injury

    neonates are diagnosed with brain injury

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. the incidence of suspend of Whole-Body Hypothermia

    Whole-Body Hypothermia is suspended

    Measured: within 3 days

  2. the incidence of discharge according to the doctor's suggestion

    neonates were discharged according to the doctor's suggestion

    Measured: 2-3 weeks

  3. the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage

    intraventricular hemorrhage was diagnosed

    Measured: 2-3 week

  4. the incidence of periventricular leukomalacia

    Periventricular leukomalacia is diagnosed

    Measured: within 30 days

  5. neurodevelopmental assessment

    neurodevelopment is assessed using NBNA

    Measured: one month

  6. neurodevelopmental assessment

    neurodevelopment is assessed using Bayley scale

    Measured: 18-36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing modified Whole-Body Hypothermia and standard Whole-Body Hypothermia in people with Hypoxic- Ischemic Encephalopathy and Whole-Body Hypothermia, run by Daping Hospital and the Research Institute of Surgery of the Third Military 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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2023. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

death (time frame: 30 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 6 May 2023.
