Kidney protection for newborns after birth oxygen loss
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a treatment can protect the kidneys of newborns who had low oxygen around birth (perinatal asphyxia). It aims to reduce kidney damage and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born at 35 weeks of pregnancy or later
- Birth weight at least 1800 grams
- Had signs of low oxygen during birth, such as low Apgar score, need for ongoing resuscitation, or low pH in blood tests
- Shows moderate to severe brain effects (encephalopathy) as assessed by a doctor

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 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 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 uses a special brainwave monitor on newborn babies who may have had a difficult birth or low oxygen levels. The goal is to see if this monitor can help doctors find babies who need extra care.
This study tests whether using a special monitor to check oxygen levels in your baby's brain can help protect their kidneys. The monitor is non-invasive (placed on the skin) and may lead to better kidney function for babies on breathing support.
