Gene study for newborns with HIE on cooling therapy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby must be born at 35 weeks of pregnancy or later
- Baby has been diagnosed with moderate or severe HIE (a type of brain injury from lack of oxygen) or HIE with seizures
- Baby is currently receiving total body cooling (therapeutic hypothermia)
- Baby is in the NICU at Texas Children's Hospital Main, West, or Woodlands

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 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 special blood marker in full-term newborns who had brain injury from lack of oxygen during birth. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
This trial is testing a treatment for newborns who had low oxygen around birth, leading to brain injury. It may help babies who did not get certain medicines before birth.
This trial tests if adding a heart medication called dobutamine to standard cooling therapy helps newborns with HIE (brain injury from lack of oxygen at birth). It aims to protect the heart and brain during treatment.
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.
