Blood Warming for Premature Birth

Columbia, South Carolina
Background/significance: Over 100,000 early preterm infants are born annually in the United States and suffer morbidity and mortality during hospitalization in a neonatal intensive care unit. One such condition is hypothermia. Hypothermia has been defined as a contributor of neonatal morbidity by The World Health Organization. Another acute morbidity is anemia in preterm infants due to the prematurity and frequent laboratory testing. Anemia requires correction with a packed red blood cells (PRBC) transfusion. Researchers have previous noted hypothermia during PRBC transfusions in preterm infants. Objective: To use a commercial blood warmer in the neonatal intensive care setting to prevent hypothermic body temperatures (\<36.5°C) in very preterm infants during PRBC transfusions. Process: Based on a completed national survey of neonatal intensive care nurses and PRBC transfusion practices and personal NICU experience, we designed this randomized control trial in 140 very preterm infants in a Southeastern, level III neonatal intensive care unit. Outcomes: Very preterm infants (\<32 weeks gestational age) receiving PRBC transfusions warmed by the commercial blood warmer will have a lower incidence of central body hypothermia post transfusion (temperatures \<36.5C), compared to infants receiving PRBC transfusions by standard of care. Very preterm infants (\<32 weeks gestational age) receiving PRBC transfusions warmed by the commercial blood warmer will have a higher post transfusion mean abdominal skin body temperature when compared to infants receiving PRBC transfusions by standard of care. Hypothesis : The results of this trial could show that very preterm infants experience hypothermia during PRBC transfusions, and thus provide the evidence to support the need for warmed PRBC transfusions in very preterm infants nationwide.

Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) occurs in 20 per 1000 births. Only 47% of neonates treated with the state of the art therapy (induced systemic hypothermia) have normal outcomes. Therefore, other promising therapies that potentially work in synergy with hypothermia to improve neurologic outcomes need to be tested. One potential agent is melatonin. Melatonin is a naturally occurring substance produced mainly from the pineal gland. Melatonin is widely known for its role in regulating the circadian rhythm, but it has many other effects that may benefit infants with HI injury. Melatonin serves as a free radical scavenger, decreases inflammatory cytokines, and stimulates anti-oxidant enzymes. Therefore, melatonin may interrupt several key components in the pathophysiology of HIE, in turn minimizing cell death and improving outcomes. The research study will evaluate the neuroprotective properties and appropriate dose of Melatonin to give to infants undergoing therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two temperature management systems, the warmUP (WU-20) and the Bair Hugger®, in preventing perioperative hypothermia during surgeries. The study aims to determine whether the warmUP system is as effective as the Bair Hugger® in maintaining core body temperature. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: Does the warmUP system maintain intraoperative body temperatures as effectively as the Bair Hugger® during abdominal surgeries? Does the warmUP system offer additional benefits, such as reduced bacterial dispersion compared to the Bair Hugger®? Participants will: Use either the warmUP or Bair Hugger® system during surgery Undergo abdominal surgeries lasting approximately 2.5 hours Have their core temperatures monitored to assess the effectiveness of the warming device The study will evaluate whether the warmUP system provides equivalent temperature management with a smaller body surface area exposed, potentially offering advantages in surgical infection control.

Avoiding warm ischemia time during vascular anastomosis of the renal allograft is important to prevent damage. The investigators are studying a cooling device that may control the temperature of the renal allograft during transplant surgery; attempting to keep temperatures at or below 5°C for at least 60 minutes. If found effective, this could eliminate warm ischemia and potentially prevent damage to transplanted kidneys.

Management of neonatal pain and sedation often includes opioid therapy. A growing body of evidence suggests long-term harm associated with neonatal opioid exposure. Providing optimal sedation while neonates are undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH) may be beneficial but also presents therapeutic challenges. While there is evidence from animal models of brain injury and clinical trials in adults to support the safety and neuroprotective properties of dexmedetomidine (DMT), there are no published large clinical trials demonstrating safety and efficacy of DMT use in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) during treatment with TH. This study is innovative in proposing a Phase II, 2-arm trial providing the opportunity to evaluate the use of DMT as compared to the use of morphine for sedation and pain management for babies undergoing TH. We propose to confirm optimal DMT dosing by collecting opportunistic pharmacokinetics (PK) data and determine safety of DMT in this population. These data will inform a larger phase III efficacy trial.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Hyperthermia clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Hyperthermia clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Hyperthermia trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Hyperthermia is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Hyperthermia medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Hyperthermia clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Alio Smart Patch Monitoring for Cancer Patients, Cooling Solutions for Hyperthermia and Whole-Body Hyperthermia for Postpartum Depression to the Power online platform.
