Trial summary

This is a chart review study of neonates admitted to Primary Children's Medical Center or University of Utah NICU who had or developed a diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and were treated for this condition with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) beginning after the 4th week of life.

  • Ages Up to 28 days
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: Any patient who at 28 days of life was requiring oxygen therapy in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and who was then treated with iNO would be eligible for chart review. Since iNO therapy has only been available for a few years, this study will attempt to capture all patients who qualify. Any patient who received iNO treatment under an IRB study protocol after 28d of life would not be eligible for chart review.

Who may be able to join

  • Any patient who at 28 days of life was requiring oxygen therapy in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and who was then treated with iNO would be eligible for chart review. Since iNO therapy has only been available for a few years, this study will attempt to capture all patients who qualify.

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: NICU Course and Hospital Outcome of Infants With Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Treated Using Inhaled Nitric Oxide

This is a chart review study of neonates admitted to Primary Children's Medical Center or University of Utah NICU who had or developed a diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and were treated for this condition with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) beginning after the 4th week of life. For this study BPD will be defined as need for supplemental oxygen on day 28 of life. The data collection from the medical record will gather demographics on admission (birth weight, gestational age, etc); past medical history from transferring hospitals; admission diagnoses; hospital respiratory care treatment course and laboratory/xray findings; nutrition and growth; and discharge diagnoses including all major neonatal morbidities such as absence or severity of intraventricular hemorrhage, retinopathy of prematurity, or hearing deficits. The data will be compiled and compared to data previously published on similar infants with BPD but not treated with iNO.

Read the detailed description

Recent studies (e.g. Schreiber 2003)1 have prompted several large current clinical trials on the use of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) for the prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. Results of these studies are not yet published and will be forthcoming Spring 2006. However, there is evidence to suggest that for patients with BPD, treatment with iNO may improve oxygenation2 and improve pulmonary blood flow by relaxing pulmonary vascular tone. 3 Also, there is a recent primate study that suggests in the face of existing BPD, treatment with iNO may decrease oxygen and ventilation requirements through a mechanism that helps preserve surfactant protein.4 Taken together, this preliminary work suggests there may be clinical benefit in treating established BPD with iNO. However, as few data exist on the clinical course of BPD patients treated with iNO, further description is necessary to evaluate iNO as a potential treatment modality for BPD. Since iNO has been used as adjunctive therapy for neonates at PCMC with serious respiratory disease, useful information on the relationship between BPD and iNO treatment may exist within our own patient population

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, run by University of Utah 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?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. 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 2010. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gather descriptive information on the hospital course and outcome of infants treated with iNO who had a diagnosis of BPD. (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 2010.
