NCT ID NCT02260271
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is creating a database of medical information and biological samples (blood, urine, and cheek swabs) from 1,000 newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a type of brain injury caused by lack of oxygen. The goal is to measure biomarkers in the blood that could help doctors better understand and diagnose HIE in the future. No new treatments are being tested; this is purely for research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this database could help researchers better understand HIE and develop future diagnostic tools or treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study that does not test any treatment, so it will not directly help participants. The findings may not lead to immediate medical advances.
