Study for newborns with severe oxygen-related brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is for newborn babies who had an oxygen shortage around birth and now have severe brain injury. It aims to test approaches that may help improve outcomes after this kind of early-life brain damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby was born at 35 weeks or later
- Baby’s birth weight was at least 1.8 kg (about 4 lb 6 oz)
- Doctors believe the oxygen/brain injury happened within the last 6 hours
- Baby has severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (severe brain injury from lack of oxygen around birth)
- The baby does not have a lethal chromosomal condition or severe growth restriction (severe IUGR)
- There is not a large brain bleed on ultrasound (no Grade III or Grade IV bleeding)

This study looks at a blood test that might help check brain injury in newborns who had a lack of oxygen at birth. The test could give doctors more information to help care for your baby.
This study uses EEG (a test that records brain activity) to help doctors quickly identify brain injury in newborns who had a difficult birth. If successful, it could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
This trial studies whether RLS-0071 is safe and can help some newborns with moderate or severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a brain injury caused by low oxygen around birth. Babies in the study also receive standard whole-body cooling (therapeutic hypothermia), and the researchers will watch for side effects and early signs of benefit.
This study uses whole genome sequencing to look at the genes of newborns with HIE (brain injury from lack of oxygen) who are receiving cooling treatment. The goal is to learn more about how genes may affect recovery and outcomes.
This study looks at how children who had a brain injury around birth (called hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, or HIE) are doing in school and daily life, compared to children without that history. It aims to understand the long-term effects and support needs.
This trial tests whether giving hydrogen gas through a breathing tube can help protect the brain of newborns who had a difficult birth and may have brain damage. It may help reduce the risk of long-term disability.
