Sildenafil with cooling for newborn brain injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding sildenafil to standard cooling treatment helps newborns who had a lack of oxygen to the brain. It aims to see if this combination can reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby born at 36 weeks or later
- Has low oxygen to the brain (hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy)
- Receiving controlled cooling (hypothermia) as standard care
- Must have French social security coverage
- Parent or guardian must give permission

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 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.
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 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 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 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.
