Diabetes drug tested to heal Babies' brains
NCT ID NCT06429007
Summary
This early-stage study is checking if metformin, a common diabetes medication, is safe and practical to give to infants who suffered brain injury from lack of oxygen at birth. The goal is to see if this drug could help improve brain development in these babies, who remain at high risk for disabilities despite current treatments. Researchers will enroll about 30 infants to monitor for side effects and see if families can follow the dosing schedule.
