Randomized Trial of Maternal Progesterone Therapy to Improve Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Infants With Congenital Heart Disease
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Progesterone and Vaginal lubricant for Congenital Heart Disease and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 102 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Neurodevelopmental disability is now recognized as the most common long-term complication after cardiac surgery in neonates. Research studies have shown that progesterone is critical to the development of the brain and in a variety of clinical situations including brain injury can protect the brain. The purpose of this research study is to determine whether progesterone administered during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy (24-39 weeks) to pregnant women protects the brain of unborn babies with CHD and improves their neurodevelopmental outcomes after heart surgery.
