E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate pharmacokinetics of Fentanyl in asphyxiated infants treated with hypothermia, in a standard regimen of Fentanyl administration. Drug plasma concentrations at the end of the starting bolus, after 24-48-72 hours infusion and after 96 hours from starting bolus will be assessed. Maximun- minimun concentration (Cmax-min) and clearance of drug will be determined. |
Valutare la farmacocinetica di Fentanil nei neonati con encefalopatia ipossico-ischemica trattati con ipotermia, in un regime standard di somministrazione di Fentanil. Saranno valutate le concentrazioni plasmatiche del farmaco alla fine del bolo iniziale, dopo 24-48-72 ore di infusione e dopo 96 ore dall'inizio del bolo. Saranno determinate la concentrazione massima-minima (Cmax-min) e la clearance del farmaco. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the safety of the Fentanyl regimen (load of 1-2 mcg/Kg of Fentanyl followed by a continuous infusion of Fentanyl at dosage of 0,5-1 mcg/kg/h for TH and heating fase) by recording drug side effect |
Valutare la sicurezza del regime di Fentanil (carico di 1-2 mcg / Kg di Fentanil seguito da una infusione continua di Fentanil alla dose di 0,5-1 mcg / kg / h per TH e fase di riscaldamento) registrando le reazioni al farmaco |

E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
To evaluate the safety of the Fentanyl regimen (load of 1-2 mcg/Kg of Fentanyl followed by a continuous infusion of Fentanyl at dosage of 0,5-1 mcg/kg/h for TH and heating fase) by recording drug side effect: - Rate of mechanically ventilated newborns during TH - Rate of apnea and/or need of respiratory support starting during TH - Need of resuscitation during TH - Need of opioid antagonist administration during TH - Incidence of hypotension during TH, defined as blood pressure below 10th centile for gestational age and postnatal age - Need of cardiovascular support drugs during TH - Rate of delayed intestinal passage (abdominal distension, gastric retention, absent/delayed evacuation, minimal enteral feeding intolerance) - Rate of bladdr globus, defined as loss of spontaneous urination with enlarged bladder and need for catheterisation - Site and severity of cerebral lesions detected by cerebral MRI The analgesic effect of Fentanyl administration, by the application of validated algometric scales for chronic pain (EDIN – Echelle Douleur Inconfort Nouveau-Nè) and acute pain (PIPP- Premature Infant Pain Profile). Efficacy of analgesic therapy is evaluated by the registration of the average heart rate of newborn during hypothermia and the presence of tremors. To evaluate drug plasma concentrations in relation to the degree of disease (moderate – severe asphyxia) |
Per valutare la sicurezza del regime di Fentanil (carico di 1-2 mcg / Kg di Fentanil seguito da una infusione continua di Fentanil alla dose di 0,5-1 mcg / kg / h per TH e fase di riscaldamento) registrando l'effetto collaterale del farmaco: - Tasso di neonati ventilati meccanicamente durante il TH - Tasso di apnea e / o necessità di supporto respiratorio a partire dal TH - Necessità di rianimazione durante TH - Necessità di somministrazione di antagonisti degli oppioidi durante il TH - Incidenza di ipotensione durante il TH, definita come pressione sanguigna inferiore al 10 ° centile per età gestazionale ed età postnatale - Necessità di farmaci per il supporto cardiovascolare durante il TH - Tasso di passaggio intestinale ritardato (distensione addominale, ritenzione gastrica, evacuazione assente / ritardata, minima intolleranza all'alimentazione enterale) - Tasso di bladdr globus, definito come perdita di minzione spontanea con vescica allargata e necessità di cateterizzazione - Sito e gravità delle lesioni cerebrali rilevate dalla risonanza magnetica cerebrale Effetto analgesico della somministrazione di Fentanil, mediante l'applicazione di scale algometriche convalidate per il dolore cronico (EDIN - Echelle Douleur Inconfort Nouveau-Nè) e il dolore acuto (PIPP - Profilo del dolore infantile prematuro). Efficacia della terapia analgesica valutata dalla registrazione della frequenza cardiaca media del neonato durante l'ipotermia e dalla presenza di tremori. Valutare le concentrazioni plasmatiche del farmaco in relazione al grado di malattia (asfissia da moderata a grave) |
