Study of babies with oxygen loss at birth
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at newborns who had a difficult start due to oxygen loss around birth (called hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy). Researchers want to learn more about this condition to improve care and outcomes for affected babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be a newborn who had a low Apgar score (less than 3) at the 5-minute check.
- The mother must not have received magnesium sulfate or caffeine before delivery.
- Your baby must not have any birth defects (congenital malformations).
- The mother must not have had general anesthesia for the delivery.

This trial tests if giving caffeine to newborns who had low oxygen at birth can help protect their brains. It compares caffeine plus standard care to placebo plus standard care for moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).
This trial studies whether cooling a newborn's body after a difficult birth helps prevent brain damage. Researchers will track babies treated with this cooling therapy and use brain imaging to see how well it works.
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 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.
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 brain monitoring and oxygen measurements in newborns who had a mild lack of oxygen at birth to see if these tests can predict how the baby will develop. The goal is to find early signs that might help guide care.
