Cord Blood Protein in Anemia Transfusion Study
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study measures a protein (S100B) in cord blood from babies who had or did not need a blood transfusion in the womb for hemolytic disease. It looks for possible markers of brain health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The mother is pregnant with one baby.
- Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is confirmed by antibodies in the mother's blood.
- Complete medical records are available, including fetal brain blood flow ultrasounds.
- Either the baby has severe anemia requiring a blood transfusion in the womb (study group) or mild or no anemia (control group).
- The mother has not regularly taken SSRI antidepressants during pregnancy.

This study measures a protein called S100B in umbilical cord blood to learn more about brain development in newborns with fetal growth restriction (FGR), a condition where a baby is smaller than expected. Understanding this protein could help doctors identify babies who may need extra support after birth.
This study tracks pregnancies affected by hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). It collects information to better understand the condition and improve care. You may join if you are pregnant with a history of a prior affected pregnancy and have a current antibody that could harm your baby.
This study measures how well the fetus's heart is pumping in pregnancies where the baby may have low red blood cells due to blood-type mismatch or parvovirus infection. Researchers use ultrasound to check heart function and see if this measurement helps predict which babies need treatment.
This study looks at two substances in the blood from the umbilical cord (IL-6 and lactate) to see if they can help doctors understand how well a newborn is doing after birth.
This trial tests whether using specially prepared blood from umbilical cords (enriched with fetal hemoglobin) works better for premature babies who need blood transfusions. The goal is to see if this approach reduces complications and the number of transfusions needed during hospitalization.
This early-phase study tests whether using a baby’s own cord blood stem cells is safe and feasible for newborns with brain injury from lack of oxygen around birth. It may help researchers find new ways to treat hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (brain injury due to oxygen deprivation) in addition to standard care like cooling.
