STAR Trial Summary
This trial studies a new drug to treat hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, a condition that affects 4-12k US people each year, and has a high mortality rate. It will evaluate safety and tolerability in newborns with moderate-severe HIE.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for newborns with moderate or severe brain injury due to lack of oxygen (HIE) who are undergoing cooling therapy. They must be from a single birth, at least 36 weeks gestation, and have specific signs of encephalopathy before cooling starts. Babies with serious bleeding in the brain, suspected infections, extreme low blood pressure unresponsive to drugs, major congenital issues, or other non-HIE related brain injuries cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests RLS-0071's safety and ability to tolerate it as a potential treatment for HIE in newborns compared to a placebo. Newborns will either receive RLS-0071 or an inactive substance while they undergo therapeutic hypothermia—a standard treatment where the baby's body temperature is lowered to help heal the brain.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As this is an early-stage trial evaluating safety and tolerability, specific side effects of RLS-0071 are not yet fully known but may include reactions at the injection site, changes in vital signs like heart rate or blood pressure, allergic reactions or no side effects at all.
