Xenon and Cooling Therapy in Babies at High Risk of Brain Injury Following Poor Condition at Birth: A Randomised Pilot Study
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating xenon gas and Whole body cooling for Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study examines the effect of inhaled xenon gas in the treatment of newborn infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in combination with cooling, which is the standard treatment for this condition. The hypothesis is that the xenon + cooling combination will produce better neuroprotection than the standard treatment of cooling alone.
