---|---|
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 Outcomes will be measured at 22-26 months fby neurodevelopment assessment
|
Biological: infusion of 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: Neurodevelopmental outcomes
historical controls, no experimental intervention, standard therapies of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in the newborn period with autologous cord blood |
- 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 ]
- 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 ]
- 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 ]
