Summary

The main objective of this study is to assess pharmacokinetics features of IV sildenafil in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and treated by controlled hypothermia. This phase 2 study will prepare a large phase 3 randomized controlled trial to demonstrate the superiority of a combinatory therapy associating IV sildenafil and controlled hypothermia compared to Placebo and controlled hypothermia, on survival without brain lesions on MRI at discharge, in neonates born after 36 weeks of gestation.

Conditions

  • Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy

Interventions

DRUG

Sildenafil Citrate (IV)

Controlled hypothermia initiated before 6h after birth (servo-controlled 33.5°C during 72h followed by a 12-h rewarming period up to 36.5°C), open-label IV Sildenafil Citrate (Revatio®, 10 mg/12.5 mL, Pfizer) 0.4 mg/kg delivered over 3 hours, followed by a maintenance infusion at 1.6 mg/kg/day for 72h
