Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase-II study to assess the safety and efficacy of sovateltide for the treatment of perinatal asphyxia caused hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonates.

This protocol is designed to develop a novel first-in-class treatment for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathyin neonates.

For an individual patient, the duration of the study will be 24 months. At visit 1, a total of 40 patients with perinatal asphyxia/perinatal depression will be randomized 1:1 into 2 treatment groups after meeting the eligibility criteria. An Interactive Web Response System (IWRS) will be used to randomize the eligible patient to the treatment groups.

Group 1: Sovateltide + Supportive treatment for perinatal asphyxia

Group 2: Normal Saline (Equal volume) + Supportive treatment for perinatal asphyxia

Sovateltide or saline will be administered as an IV bolus dose over 1 minute. In the sovateltide group, 3 doses of sovateltide, at 0.3 μg/kg body weight will be administered as an (IV) bolus over 1 minute every 3 hours ± 1 hour on day 1, 3, and day 6 (total dose/day: 0.9 µg/kg body weight). In the saline group, 3 doses of an equal volume of normal saline will be administered as an IV bolus over 1 minute every 3 hours ± 1 hour on days 1, 3, and day 6 post-randomization. In both treatment groups, patients will be provided supportive treatment for perinatal asphyxia. Every effort will be made to have drug administration at the same time on days 1, 3 and, 6.

Each patient will be monitored closely throughout his/her hospitalization and will be followed for 24 months from randomization. Each subject will be assessed for efficacy and safety parameters over 24 months from randomization.
