Seizure treatment study for newborns with HIE
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests treatments for seizures in newborns who have brain injury from lack of oxygen at birth (HIE). It aims to find the best way to control seizures in the first few days of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must have moderate or severe HIE (brain injury from low oxygen at birth).
- Your baby must have had seizures (any type) or abnormal brain wave readings within the first 72 hours of life.
- Your baby's seizures cannot be caused by another condition like a metabolic disorder or a vitamin B6 problem.
- Your baby's kidney function must be normal (creatinine level lower than 1.6 mg/dl).
- Your baby must not have received any anti-seizure medicine before joining this trial.

This trial tests whether adding melatonin to standard magnesium sulfate treatment improves outcomes for newborns with HIE (a brain injury from lack of oxygen). It compares the combination to magnesium sulfate alone.
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 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 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 studies how to give levetiracetam to newborn babies with seizures. It’s trying to find a safe dose and see if it can help control seizures in early life.
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.
