Protocol summary

Study aim
The effect of Ursodioxycholic acide (UDCA) on indirect bilirubin reduction in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia has been shown in a few studies, therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of this drug in neonates with Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6pd) which can induce severe indirect hyperbilirubinemia.
Design
This is a clinical trial study phase 3 in neonates with G6PD deficiency and hyperbilirubinemia which performs in two parallel groups receiving drug and placebo. The study is a triple blind, block randomized design. The sample size is calculated to be 50.
Settings and conduct
The study is carried out on neonates with neonatal jaundice who are G6PD deficient and are admitted to Zeinabiye and Hafiz Hospitals in Shiraz for phototherapy. The nurse who is responsible for providing the medication, the carers, the doctors, and the bilirubin test laboratory and the data analyzer are not aware of intervention type.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
This study will be performed on neonates with G6PD who are admitted with the diagnosis of hyperbilirubinemia for phototherapy. Inclusion criteria: G6pd deficiency, exclusive breastfeeding, over one day old, total bilirubin above 14 mg / dL and below 20 mg / dL and direct bilirubin below 2 mg / dL Exclusion criteria: Blood maladaptation, cholestatic or hepatic disease or infection and septicemia or diabetic mother infant.
Intervention groups
The intervention group will receive oral drug of Ursodioxycholic acide10 mg/kg (2cc syrup/kg) daily divided into 2 doses every 12 hours. Dr. Obidi's 300 mg capsule is used for the preparation of the syrups of 300 mg in 60 ml water. At the same time intervals, the control group received the same volume placebo syrup. Both groups receive standard phototherapy.
Main outcome variables
Total bilirubin; median admission time; drug adverse effects (Nausea, vomiting, rash)

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The block randomization list with block size of 4 generates by https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/lists.The sample size , size of blocks and study groups are given to the system, and the system determines the order of the blocks and the order in each block in a list. The drug and placebo are arranged in a box according to the list by a pharmacist and are given to one of the nurses responsible for the research to be given to the infants.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
The drug and placebo which are prepared in syrup and are distinguishable by A and B labels will be arrange in a box according to the randomization list by the pharmacist who has no responsibility for patients care . The box will be given to a nurse who is unaware of the intervention type and she give the treatment in specified order . Caregivers, physicians, and the lab conducting the bilirubin test are not aware of the treatment. The results are compiled and analyzed by a statistician who is not aware of the intervention type.
