NCT ID NCT02400853
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether measuring certain substances in the cord blood of very premature babies (born before 30 weeks) can predict if they will develop bleeding in the brain. Researchers measured levels of a complex called t-PA-PAI-1 and other markers in 175 infants. The goal is to identify high-risk babies at birth so doctors can take steps to prevent bleeding.
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 could lead to a way to identify preterm infants at high risk of brain bleeding right after birth, allowing early preventive care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not lead to a reliable test or change clinical practice without further validation.
