Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The primary outcome is determination of the pharmacokinetics and safety of bumetanide in newborns with refractory seizures.
6-7 years are anticipated for the collection of the neonatal data

The investigators will determine the dose exposure, half-life, volume of distribution and clearance of bumetanide in newborns with refractory seizures. The investigators will determine if there is a significant effect of hepatic dysfunction or hypothermia on bumetanide pharmacokinetics. For evaluation of safety, the rate of adverse events will be compared between treatment and control groups.

Secondary Endpoints

A secondary outcome is determination of the feasibility of the study design to test antiepileptic drugs to treat neonatal seizures caused by acute hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in a clinical trial.
6-7 years are anticipated for collection of the neonatal data
