Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to gather more information on how eye injury is related to a baby's future development and see if eye function and brain test results can be used, along with current measures, to better diagnose and treat babies with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Participants will undergo up to two eye exam sessions, involving both Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) and Electroretinogram (ERG) exams.

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
Visual Evoked Potential (VEP)
Small gold-cup electrodes will be placed on the participant's head using a small dot of adhesive paste. The handheld device is then connected to the electrodes, and the participant's eyes are exposed to a light flicker. Each eye will be tested separately, and while testing one eye, the other eye may be patched.
Electroretinogram (ERG)
Skin electrodes will be placed under each eye. Eyes will then be exposed to a flashing light. Each eye will be tested separately and while testing one eye, the other eye may be patched.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary To evaluate the correlation between retinal function and neurodevelopmental outcomes The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator technique will be utilized to determine whether ERG measures predict neurodevelopmental outcomes Through 30 months of life
Primary To evaluate the correlation between retinal function and neuroimaging outcomes The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator technique will be utilized to determine whether ERG measures predict neuroimaging outcomes Within first 5 days of life
Primary To evaluate the correlation between visual cortical function and neurodevelopmental outcomes The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator technique will be utilized to determine whether VEP measures predict neurodevelopmental outcomes Through 30 months of life
Primary To evaluate the correlation between visual cortical function and neuroimaging outcomes The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator technique will be utilized to determine whether VEP measures predict neuroimaging outcomes Within first 5 days of life
Primary Compare ERG results between healthy babies and babies with HIE The ERG results from healthy babies will be compared to those of babies with HIE Within first 5 days of life
Primary Report Shape of the VEP results for healthy babies and babies with HIE The shape of the waveform will be reported as a categorical variable: sharp, slanted, blunt, or multiple peaks Within first 5 days of life
Primary Compare Amplitude of the VEP results between healthy babies and babies with HIE The amplitude will be reported as differences in microvolt responses between groups. Within first 5 days of life
Primary Compare Latency of the VEP results between healthy babies and babies with HIE The latency will be reported as differences in timing (measured in milliseconds) between groups. Within first 5 days of life
Primary Compare Transocular Shape, Amplitude, and Latency Difference of the VEP results between healthy babies and babies with HIE The Transocular Shape Difference will be reported as differences in shape between the two eyes compared across groups, reported as a categorical variable: sharp, slanted, blunt, or multiple peaks. Within first 5 days of life
