Study Summary

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) occurs when a baby gets reduced blood flow and oxygen to the brain near the time of birth. This results in death or neurologic disabilities including cerebral palsy and cognitive impairment in up to half of affected infants. This clinical trial will determine if the drug erythropoietin (Epo) added to hypothermia (usual therapy) will improve outcomes for infants suffering from HIE.

Primary Outcome

Neurodevelopmental impairment defined as any of the following: a) Gross Motor Function Scale (GMFCS) level ≥ 1, or b) GMFCS = 0 or 0.5 and cerebral palsy (CP) (any type), or c) Bayley III Cognitive Score \< 90
