Coarctation of the Aorta clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

The Arch Watch Study: An Integrated Evaluation of Hemodynamics in Infants With Suspected Coarctation of the Aorta

Start date: September 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Unrecognized coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a life-threatening component of congenital heart disease (CHD) in which narrowing of the aorta causes obstructed blood flow to the lower half of the body; it can occur in isolation or in combination with other defects. CoA is the type of CHD most likely to be missed by current newborn screening. An evolving coarctation (during closure of the ductus arteriosus) can be challenging to diagnose until often devastating end-organ injury manifests, even in the ICU setting. This study will evaluate currently used tools, such as four extremity blood pressures and pulse oximetry, and the investigators will test new tools - resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) and photoplethysmography analysis- to assess the adequacy of oxygen delivery in newborns who are at risk for aortic arch obstruction. The investigators hypothesize that combining an assessment of commonly used non-invasive monitoring tools, new components of these traditional tools, and RRS, will have improved sensitivity in detecting critical impairments to tissue oxygen delivery in newborns with suspected critical aortic arch obstruction.
