Awards & highlights
No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial aims to test a modified smart soft contact lens in newborns and infants at risk of hydrocephalus. It will determine if the device can differentiate between pressure changes in infants with hydrocephalus
Who is the study for?
This trial is for newborns and infants at risk of hydrocephalus, a condition where fluid builds up in the brain. They must be undergoing standard care for hydrocephalus to participate. The study excludes those who do not meet the specific criteria set by researchers.
What is being tested?
Researchers are testing a new non-invasive pressure monitor using a smart soft contact lens to track changes in brain pressure in babies with and without hydrocephalus, before and after surgery or other treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this device is non-invasive and used only during evaluations, side effects may be minimal but could include discomfort from wearing the contact lens or skin irritation around the eye area.

Trial Design
5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Aim 4 Hydrocephalus, Reservoir surgeryExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Intervention pre- and post- ventricular reservoir tap(s)
Group II: Aim 3 Hydrocephalus, EVD ICP monitorExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Intervention during standard of care monitoring of EVD ICP reading(s)/hydrocephalus evaluation (anterior fontanelle assessment and measurement of head circumference)
Group III: Aim 2 Hydrocephalus, Shunt surgeryExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Intervention pre- and post-operatively
Group IV: Aim 1 HydrocephalusExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Intervention at single time point during standard of care hydrocephalus evaluation (anterior fontanelle assessment and measurement of head circumference), unless further assigned to supplemental arm following standard of care surgical procedure
Group V: Aim 1 ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Intervention at single time point not to interfere with standard of care procedures
