Hyperoxygenation for resuscitation of abnormal fetal heart rate tracings has been routine obstetric practice. However, there have not been any studies to support this practice. Recent literature have either found no associated benefit to intrapartum maternal oxygen administration, or in a number of studies demonstrated higher risk of neonatal complications. Despite these studies, the evidences have not been adequate to change the clinical practice because the majority of these studies either focused on biological differences rather than clinical outcomes data or were retrospective rather than randomized trials. Therefore, the investigators propose a large single center randomized clinical trial to determine the effects of maternal hyperoxygenation therapy for the treatment of fetal heart rate tracing abnormalities.
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy of the administration of phenobarbital Sodium Injection, United States Pharmacopeia, (USP), in participants who have suffered from a clinical seizure. As neonatal seizures can have long-term adverse effects, including death, placebo-controlled studies are not appropriate for this population. This study is designed to show phenobarbital is effective at preventing subsequent seizures by demonstrating greater efficacy at the higher (40 mg/kg) dose compared to the lower dose (20 mg/kg). It is important to note that, although phenobarbital is not approved for the treatment of neonatal seizures, it is commonly used for this indication and is considered the first-line therapy in the US and by the World Health Organization. The minimum recommended dose of phenobarbital used to treat neonatal seizures is 20 mg/kg. Therefore, the lower dose of phenobarbital used in this study is considered an "effective" dose for the treatment of neonatal seizures. The design of this study allows for assessment of the minimum recommended dose with the maximum recommended dose to show the increased efficacy of the high dose in various measures of reduction in seizures.
