Trial summary

OBJECTIVES: I. Create a clinical sample bank of neonates with lung disease to test hypotheses regarding the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). II. Determine whether a developmental deficiency of surfactant protein B (SP-B) contributes to the occurrence of respiratory distress and BPD in these patients. Read more about this study

II. Determine whether a developmental deficiency of surfactant protein B (SP-B) contributes to the occurrence of respiratory distress and BPD in these patients.

III. Study metabolic abnormalities associated with inherited deficiency of SP-B in these patients.

IV. Determine whether plasma nitrotyrosine levels, a marker of peroxynitrite mediated oxidant stress, are elevated in premature infants who develop BPD.

  1. Measure the temporal changes in critical components of the inflammatory process (cell composition, inducible nitric oxide synthase, hyaluronan (HA), receptor for HA mediated mobility, and selected cytokines) in bronchoalveolar lavage, blood, and urine samples obtained from these patients, and to correlate these changes with their clinical course.

VI. Examine changes in the insulin-like growth factor axis that occur in the lungs of infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and BPD.

VII. Determine the relationship between degradation of elastin and the clinical course of BPD.

VIII. Determine whether the normal fall in plasma endothelin-1 concentrations after birth are delayed in infants with RDS and BPD.

PROTOCOL OUTLINE:

Bronchoalveolar lavage and urine samples are obtained from patients on day of life 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28, and every 2 weeks thereafter until the infant is extubated. Serial blood samples are obtained from patients on day of life 0 (cord blood if possible), 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28, and prior to hospital discharge. Infants who require supplemental oxygen beyond 28 days of life will have 3 additional blood samples obtained at 6, 8, and 12 weeks of life. Those infants with established bronchopulmonary dysplasia who are admitted to the hospital at over 4 weeks of age have plasma samples obtained at the time of admission, and every 2 weeks thereafter for a maximum total of 5 samples.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, run by National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2005.
