Sleep study for infant hemangioma drug halted early
NCT ID NCT05479123
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how often infants with hemangiomas wake up at night when taking propranolol either two or three times a day. It aimed to see if a three-times-daily schedule caused less sleep disruption. The trial was terminated early, so the findings are incomplete.
