NAC treatment for newborn sepsis
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to standard care helps newborns with sepsis recover better. Sepsis is a serious infection in the blood. NAC may reduce inflammation and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be at least 32 weeks gestation (near-term or full-term) and be 28 days old or younger when admitted.
- Your baby must be diagnosed with sepsis (a serious infection) using the hospital's criteria for probable or highly probable sepsis.
- Your baby must not have major birth defects that would affect survival in the first month of life.
- Your baby must not be allergic to N-acetylcysteine.
- You (as parent or guardian) must agree to your baby taking part in the study and sign a consent form.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether a blood test called presepsin can help doctors diagnose sepsis (a serious infection) in newborn babies. If it works, it could help doctors start treatment faster and more accurately.
This study tests if a special hand-cleaning method using chlorhexidine and alcohol can help prevent infections in premature babies (born before 37 weeks) in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU). It aims to see if this cleaning approach is better than the usual method for keeping babies safe from hospital-acquired infections.
This study looks at two simple blood tests (CBC and lactate) in newborns with signs of infection. These tests may help doctors find sepsis faster and guide treatment.
This trial tests if N-acetylcysteine, a medicine that helps the liver and fights inflammation, can improve outcomes for adults with a severe infection and liver stress.
This trial is testing ways to make the best treatment decisions for newborns who may have an early infection (sepsis). It focuses on babies born at 34 weeks or later and within their first three days of life.
This study looks at how sepsis (a serious infection in the blood) affects the brain and nervous system in newborns. Doctors will check babies for signs of brain or nerve problems to better understand and care for them.
