Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effect of infusions of autologous (the patient's own)umbilical cord blood stem cells in newborn infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. For this study, infants who have signs of moderate to severe encephalopathy at birth whose mothers have previously consented to providing cord blood stem cells for the Gunagdong Cord Blood Bank,or provided verbal consent for cord blood collection for the possibility of their baby's participation in this trial, can receive their own cord blood stem cells if an adequate number of cells that meet Guangdong Cord Blood Bank Quality standards are available in the first 14 postnatal days. Study activities also include serial blood draws concurrent with clinically indicated blood draws with a total volume of no more than 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon) from all study related tests. Babies will be followed for neurodevelopmental outcome at 4 – 6 and 9 – 12 months. MRI's will be obtained per clinical routine and results will be analyzed and described in study reports.

Interventions

  • Other: autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells
    • autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells treatment for brain injury for safety and effect evaluation
  • Drug: 0.9% Sodium-chloride
    • 0.9% Sodium-chloride in control group

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo
    • preterm infants with severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy receive only 0.9% Sodium-chloride
  • Experimental: infusion
    • preterm infants with severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy will receive up to 4 infusions of their own volume reduced cord blood stem cells. The number of doses will be determined by the amount of available cord blood stem cells. The dose for each infusion is 5×107 cells/kg

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • safety of autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells infusion in enrolled preterm infants
    • Time Frame: during infusion 24 hours after infusion
    • Adverse event rates occurring will be compared between the autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells recipients and control group

Secondary Measures

  • effect of autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells infusion in enrolled preterm infants
    • Time Frame: 1 year
    • the effect of autologous umbilical cord blood stem cells infusion will be measured by neurodevelopmental function at 4 – 6 months and 9 – 12 months of age
