Test drug for brain injury after low oxygen at birth
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at 36 weeks or later (full-term or near full-term)
- Your baby is being treated with standard supportive care for breathing/oxygen problems around birth
- Your baby shows signs of significant brain injury after birth (based on test scores or exam findings within the first 1–6 hours)
- A parent or legal representative can sign consent for the study
- Your baby was not admitted to the hospital more than 12 hours after birth

This study tests whether adding a medication called sildenafil (commonly used for blood pressure) to standard cooling treatment can improve brain recovery in newborn babies with brain injury from lack of oxygen. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective in helping these babies develop better.
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.
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 early study tests whether giving melatonin to newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (brain injury from not enough oxygen around birth) can help protect the brain while they are cooled (therapeutic hypothermia). It may be most relevant if your baby shows early brain-injury signs and meets specific blood test and birth-history timing criteria.
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.
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.
