NCT06563687

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to examine whether the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to guide the clinical management of glycaemic control will result into an increased time in the target glucose concentration. To further examine the efficacy of using CGM the following secondary outcomes in the two groups were assessed: mean glucose values, glucose variability within individuals, percentage of time that glucose values are in hyperglycaemic or hypoglycaemic ranges. Randomized controlled trial recruiting neonates (Birth weight \>1.8kg, Gestation\>36 weeks) with moderate or severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) following perinatal asphyxia . Neonates will be randomly assigned (1:1) within 6 hours of birth to receive either the intervention with real-time CGM or standard care for 72 hours.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • In range - time

    Proportion of time that the sensor glucose values are in the target range (50 to 180 mg/dL) compared between the study groups

    72 hours after birth

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Hypoglycemia

    72 hours after birth

  • Hyperglycemia

    72 hours after birth

  • Glycemic variability

    72 hours after birth

  • Adverse events associated to insertion of CGM

    up to 10 days after birth

Study Arms (2)

Experimental: Unblinded CGM

EXPERIMENTAL

CGM data will be "unblinded", with alarms on for hypo and hyperglycemia. CGM data will be used to support clinical management including blood glucose measurements and decision making. Changes in glucose and insulin infusion will be based primarily on the real-time CGM data but blood glucose concentrations will be checked in case of rapid changes in CGM data or before any treatment.

Device: Dexcom ONE+

Blinded CGM

OTHER

CGM data will be blinded. Alarms for Hypo and hyperglycemia will be off. Glucose control will be monitored and managed according to standard clinical practice using intermittently sampled blood glucose concentrations.

Device: Dexcom ONE+

Interventions

In all the neonates recruited CGM sensor and transmitter will be placed soon after study enrollment. The sensors will be inserted in the lateral thigh and continuous measurements will be recorded for all the duration of therapeutic hypothermia.
