Brain Injury Clinical Trial
Official title:
Safety of N-acetylcysteine in Maternal Chorioamnionitis
The purpose of this trial was to find the best dose of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to decrease brain injury in babies exposed to intrauterine infection without causing significant side effects.
Chorioamnionitits is an infection in the fluid and membranes surrounding the baby in utero. Intrauterine infection is associated with significant white and grey matter brain injury in newborns and is particularly important in the pathogenesis of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and cerebral palsy (CP). CP has been shown to be 4-9 times higher in babies exposed to intrauterine infection than in normal infants. Antibiotics have not changed the risk for brain injury in the newborn. NAC is a promising anti-oxidant therapy that has shown effective neuroprotection in an animal model of chorioamnionitis, and has a favorable safety profile with limited and manageable side effects. In this trial, intravenous NAC was given to mothers antenatally and to their infants postnatally, who presented with the diagnosis of chorioamnionitis, to evaluate safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) in mothers and infants. Mothers at ≥24 weeks gestation and their infants were randomized to receive either saline NAC within 4 hours of a clinical diagnosis of chorioamnionitis. Infants were stratified into term (≥ 33wk) and preterm (24-32wk) cohorts, due to different expected rates of metabolism and clearance. Information gained from this trial will be used to determine how rapidly NAC is metabolized by mother, fetus, infant, and the ability of NAC to cross placenta. This study will also elucidate the safety of NAC in the setting of chorioamnionitis for fetal neuroprotection. ;
