About this study

Official title: Pilot Study to Evaluate the Usefulness of Liver Regional Oxygen Saturation (RSO2) in Preterm Patent Ductus Arteriosus

This study evaluates the usefulness of liver perfusion and oxygenation status using regional oxygen saturation (RSO2) values obtained via near-infrared spectroscopy in assessing the hemodynamical significance of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants.

Read the detailed description

The usefulness of cerebral and renal regional oxygen saturation (RSO2) values for assessing hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) has been described previously. Meanwhile, autoregulation of the splanchnic organs' perfusion is less developed compared to the cerebral and renal system, which makes the splanchnic bed more prone to perfusion decrease and ischemia in cases of volume depletion or poor circulation. If RSO2 is measure in the liver, the solid organ reflecting the splanchnic bed perfusion status, hsPDA may be more readily identified than when only cerebral and/or renal RSO2 is monitored.

This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of liver RSO2 measurement in assessing the hemodynamical significance of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants, in comparison to cerebral and renal RSO2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Day 2 liver regional oxygen saturation

    regional oxygen saturation of liver obtained from near-infrared spectroscopy (%)

    Measured: 48 to 72 hours of birth

  2. Day 7 liver regional oxygen saturation

    regional oxygen saturation of liver obtained from near-infrared spectroscopy (%)

    Measured: 7 (±2) days after birth

  3. Day 14 liver regional oxygen saturation

    regional oxygen saturation of liver obtained from near-infrared spectroscopy (%)

    Measured: 14 (±3) days after birth

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. PDA liver regional oxygen saturation

    regional oxygen saturation of liver obtained from near-infrared spectroscopy (%)

    Measured: When hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus is clinically suspected by the attending physician, up to 28th day of life

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Patent Ductus Arteriosus and Circulation, run by Seoul St. Mary's Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 30 May 2025. 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 South Korea. 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?

Day 2 liver regional oxygen saturation (time frame: 48 to 72 hours of birth). The study lists 3 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 30 May 2025.
