Blood marker study for newborns with oxygen-related brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a blood test that might help check brain injury in newborns who had a lack of oxygen at birth. The test could give doctors more information to help care for your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born at 36 weeks of pregnancy or later (full term).
- Your baby must have been diagnosed with brain injury from lack of oxygen at birth.
- Your baby must have started cooling treatment within 6 hours after birth.
- Your baby must not have major birth defects, genetic conditions, or other serious illnesses (like infection or metabolic disease).
- Your parent or legal guardian must give written permission for your baby to join the study.

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 uses EEG (a test that records brain activity) to help doctors quickly identify brain injury in newborns who had a difficult birth. If successful, it could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
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 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.
This study looks at oxygen levels in the brains of children and young adults (birth to 18 years) during a standard MRI. The goal is to learn more about how the brain works, and it only adds a few minutes to your child's regular MRI scan.
This study uses brain monitoring and oxygen measurements in newborns who had a mild lack of oxygen at birth to see if these tests can predict how the baby will develop. The goal is to find early signs that might help guide care.
