Brief Summary:

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy of preventive vs. therapeutic tin mesoporphyrin in direct Coombs' test-positive ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in infants living in Greece.

II. Assess the safety of tin mesoporphyrin in high-risk newborns.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Glucosephosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency Hyperbilirubinemia Hemolytic Disease of Newborn Drug: tin mesoporphyrin Phase 2

Detailed Description:

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients are stratified by gestational age and sex, and randomly assigned in pairs per stratum.

One group receives a preventive dose of tin mesoporphyrin. Another group receives a therapeutic dose of tin mesoporphyrin according to the plasma bilirubin concentration.

Patients in either group may be treated concurrently with phototherapy or exchange transfusion if clinically indicated.
