Recruiting studies
- NCT06744244Recruiting
Smell test for newborns with birth asphyxia
This study tests whether a simple smell test can help doctors better understand the risk of brain injury in newborns who had oxygen loss at birth. It may help identify babies who need extra monitoring without requiring cooling treatment.
ParmaAges 6 hours–3 days - NCT06611254Recruiting
Ultrasound to see blood flow in babies getting cooling therapy
This study uses a special ultrasound with a contrast dye to look at blood flow in the brain and kidneys of newborns with birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen) during cooling treatment. It helps doctors understand how cooling affects these organs.
Erlangen, BavariaAges Any age - NCT06693817Recruiting
Wireless sensors for newborns in the delivery room
This trial tests advanced wireless sensors to monitor babies born at 35 weeks or later who are stable at delivery. The goal is to see if these sensors can improve care right after birth.
Londrina, ParanáAges 8 months–10 months - NCT06747260RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Breast milk through the nose for HIE
This trial tests whether giving fresh breast milk through the nose is safe and possible for newborns with HIE (a brain injury from oxygen loss at birth) who are already receiving cooling therapy. It may help protect the brain and reduce injury.
BudapestAges Up to 2 days - NCT06322732Recruiting
Better care for newborns with severe asphyxia at birth
This study looks at how routine hospital care for full-term or near-term newborns with severe oxygen deprivation at birth can be improved. It aims to find where care can be optimized to reduce complications.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges Up to 1 month - NCT04239508Recruiting
Newborn brain-cooling and follow-up data study in Switzerland
This study follows Swiss babies after very early birth or after breathing/oxygen problems around delivery, to better understand outcomes and care. If your baby fits the timing or birth condition rules, their information may be collected for follow-up and research.
ZurichAges birth–4 weeks - NCT05395195RecruitingPhase 3
Erythropoietin for newborn brain injury in low-resource settings
This Phase 3 trial studies whether erythropoietin (a medicine related to red-blood-cell growth) can improve outcomes for newborns with moderate to severe brain injury after birth. The study focuses on babies born in low- and middle-income countries and aims to reduce harm from this early brain condition.
DhakaAges 1 hour–6 hours - NCT05514340RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug for brain injury after low oxygen at birth
This Phase 2 study tests whether sovateltide can improve safety and outcomes for babies whose brains may have been injured by low oxygen around birth. It focuses on babies who show signs of moderate to severe injury soon after delivery, and who receive standard supportive care.
Mangalore, KarnatakaAges Any age - NCT05836610RecruitingPhase 4
Testing hydrocortisone dosing during newborn cooling
This Phase 4 trial studies the best way to give hydrocortisone (a steroid medicine) to newborns who are being cooled for a specific kind of birth-related lack of oxygen. It’s for babies who have low blood pressure during cooling, aiming to improve their stability while they receive standard treatment.
Budapest, Pest CountyAges Up to 3 days - NCT05889507RecruitingPhase 3
Cooling treatment for newborns with mild brain injury
This Phase 3 study tests whether cooling a newborn’s body can help babies with mild brain injury after a difficult birth. It aims to see if cooling improves brain-related outcomes compared with standard care.
NaplesAges 1 hour–6 hours - NCT06098833RecruitingPhase 2
Sildenafil for newborn brain injury after birth asphyxia
This trial tests whether a liquid form of the medicine sildenafil can help repair brain damage in newborns who had a difficult birth and were treated with cooling. If your baby meets the cooling criteria and has brain injury on an MRI, this study may offer an additional treatment option.
Montreal, QuebecAges birth–2 days - NCT06186973Recruiting
Fetal and newborn heart assessment during labor
This study checks how well a baby's heart works during labor and right after birth. It uses a special monitor (CTG with STAN) to see if the baby's heart responds normally to the stress of labor.
OsloAges birth–1 hour - NCT06310486Recruiting
Emergency call study on drowning
This trial looks at emergency calls for drowning incidents to see how the call is handled and what happens to the patient. If you or someone you care for had a drowning and emergency services were called, you may be able to join.
NæstvedAges Any age - NCT06334276Recruiting
Danish drowning registry study: Fatal and nonfatal drowning since 2016
This study collects information about drowning incidents in Denmark from 2016 onward. By linking emergency records with hospital data, researchers hope to better understand drowning outcomes and improve care.
Næstved, Region SjællandAges Any age - NCT06394453Recruiting
Feeding during cooling for brain injury in newborns
This study looks at whether it is safe to give small amounts of milk to babies who are being cooled for brain injury after a difficult birth. It may help doctors decide if feeding during cooling can improve outcomes.
CracowAges Up to 6 hours - NCT06540222Recruiting
Keeping cord attached longer at emergency cesarean
This study tests keeping the umbilical cord attached longer during an emergency cesarean to see if it helps the baby. If you are having a full-term emergency cesarean with spinal or epidural anesthesia, your baby may be able to benefit from this practice.
GothenburgAges 9 months–10 months - NCT06577922Recruiting
Maternal and newborn health simulation lab study in Nepal
This trial checks whether simulation training for hospital staff improves care for mothers and newborns. If you recently delivered vaginally at a study hospital or work there, you may be able to join.
Kathmandu, BagmatiAges Any age - NCT06646250Recruiting
New ultrasound for steady brain monitoring in newborns
This trial uses a new ultrasound device (NeoDoppler) to watch blood flow in a baby's brain continuously. It aims to see if this gentle, bedside tool can help doctors monitor babies—especially those born early or with certain health concerns—without moving them.
TrondheimAges birth–1 year - NCT06746532RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Breast milk nose drops for brain injury in newborns
This trial tests whether giving fresh breast milk as nose drops can help newborns with brain injury from lack of oxygen. It aims to see if this simple treatment can improve brain recovery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for asphyxia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting asphyxia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a asphyxia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a asphyxia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
