Could a simple heart drug save newborn brains?

NCT ID NCT07406477

Summary

This study is testing if giving a heart medication called dobutamine very early can help newborns who have brain injury from a lack of oxygen at birth. Forty babies receiving standard cooling therapy will be randomly assigned to get either the drug or a placebo. The main goal is to see if starting this medication early is safe and practical, while also checking if it might lead to better short-term health outcomes.
