Summary

This study tests a drug called RLS-0071 in newborns who have brain damage from lack of oxygen during birth. The babies also receive standard cooling therapy. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and may help reduce brain injury. About 70 babies will take part, and they will be followed for up to 2 years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

RLS-0071 (a peptide drug given by infusion)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a treatment that reduces brain damage and improves outcomes for newborns with HIE.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 trial with only 70 babies, so results are preliminary. The drug may not prove effective or could have side effects.
