Study summary

The proposed research evaluates tissue oxygenation (StO2) as measured by resonance raman spectroscopy (RRS) in premature infants with and without patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). This is a prospective observational study of infants born at \< 30 weeks of gestation. The primary aim of this study is to determine if the difference in pre- and post-ductal StO2 as detected by RRS is more significant in premature infants with PDA in comparison to infants without PDA. The secondary aim of this study is to determine if the difference in pre- and post-ductal StO2 as detected by RRS is more significant in infant who develop serious adverse events.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Differences and pre- and post-ductal RRS measurements of tissue oxygenation.

    Pre- and post-ductal tissues oxygenation as measured by RRS may be more significant in infants with PDA.

    Time frame: Up to a maximum of 14 data collection times

Secondary outcomes

  1. Are differences in pre- and post-ductal StO2 as detected by RRS more significant in infants with serious adverse events.

    RRS measurements and the difference between pre- and post-ductal tissue oxygenation will be evaluated in infants with serious adverse events to determine if the measurements could have predicted the serious adverse event.

    Time frame: Up to a maximum of 14 data collection times

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from May 2015 to primary completion in Sep 2017, 28 months.

Of 372 non-industry observational studies under Premature Birth, half reached primary completion within 35 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 63. This study's 28 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 387 studies reached it within 35 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 61.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 10, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
