ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00593242

Purpose

This is a pilot study to test feasibility of collection, preparation and infusion of a baby's own (autologous)umbilical cord blood in the first 14 days after birth if the baby is born with signs of brain injury.

Official Title:	Autologous Cord Blood Cells for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy Study 1. Phase I Study of Feasibility and Safety.

Further study details as provided by Duke University:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Adverse event rates occurring in the pilot study population will be compared between the cord blood cell recipients and historical controls. [ Time Frame: during infusions: first 18 postnatal days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Secondary endpoints of this pilot study will include preliminary efficacy as measured by neurodevelopmental function at 4 - 6 months and 9 - 12 months of age [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
neuroimaging results will be collected and compared with available results from prior trials of therapies in this population, and from a previously collected set of images from normal term newborns through the first year of life. [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	25
Study Start Date:	January 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	December 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: infusions infants who arrive at the study site within the first 14 postnatal days and had a history of moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, and have cells available for infusion that pass Carolinas Cord Blood Bank Quality checks	Other: autologous cord blood infants who meet study enrollment criteria for history of moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in the neonatal period will receive up to 4 infusions of their own volume reduced cord blood cells. The number of doses will be determined by the amount of available cord blood cells. The dose for each infusion is 5x10e7 cells/kg
historical control Infants who had moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in the neonatal period but did not receive autologous cord blood cells.	Other: no intervention historical controls, no experimental intervention, standard therapies of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in the newborn period

Detailed Description:

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of infusions of autologous (the patient's own)umbilical cord blood cells in term gestation newborn infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. For this study, infants who have signs of moderate to severe encephalopathy at birth whose mothers have previously consented to providing cord blood cells for the Carolinas Cord Blood Bank or other public or private bank that uses accepted standards for collection and handling of cells, or provided verbal consent for cord blood collection for the possibility of their baby's participation in this trial, can receive their own cord blood cells if an adequate number of cells that meet Carolinas Cord Blood Bank Quality standards are available in the first 14 postnatal days. Study activities also include serial blood draws concurrent with clinically indicated blood draws with a total volume of no more than 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon) from all study related tests. Babies will be followed for neurodevelopmental outcome at 4 - 6 and 9 - 12 months at Duke's Special Infant Care Clinic. MRI's will be obtained per clinical routine and results will be analyzed and described in study reports.
