| NCT00830531 | Pilot Study of Bumetanide for Newborn Seizures | PHASE1 | COMPLETED | 43 | — | — | Jan 1, 2010 | Jan 1, 2019 | Dec 17, 2020 | 4 | United States |
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.
