Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Phenobarbital Sodium Injection 20mg | Following confirmation of seizure criteria and randomization, subjects will receive Phenobarbital 20 mg/kg (first/initial dose) followed by 20 mg/kg (if required).~Phenobarbital Sodium Injection: The initial dose will be administered intravenously over a 30-minute period. The time period between the first and second dose of phenobarbital cannot occur within 30 minutes of the end of the first dose. | 2 | 3 | OG000 |
| Group 2 | Phenobarbital Sodium Injection 40mg | Following confirmation of seizure criteria and randomization, subjects will receive Phenobarbital 40 mg/kg (first/initial dose) followed by 10 mg/kg (if required).~Phenobarbital Sodium Injection: The initial dose will be administered intravenously over a 30-minute period. The time period between the first and second dose of phenobarbital cannot occur within 30 minutes of the end of the first dose. | 1 | 1 | OG001 |
