About this study

Official title: Inhaled Nitric Oxide For The Treatment Of Hypoxic Respiratory Failure With Pulmonary Hypertension In Preterm Infants

This Phase 3, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo controlled, multicenter study is to confirm the efficacy of inhaled nitric oxide for the management of hypoxic respiratory failure associated with pulmonary hypertension in preterm infants.

Study subjects will be administered either inhaled nitric oxide or placebo to determine if there is a change in oxygenation.

Read the detailed description

This trial will be a multi-center, double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial. All mothers identified with prolonged rupture of membranes and/or oligohydramnios, and all inborn infants < 30 weeks gestational age (GA) at birth will be screened for enrollment. Infants who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria within the first 48 hours after birth will be randomized to either inhaled NO starting at 20 ppm, or matched placebo, delivered by means of a blinded INOvent® delivery device. Randomization will be stratified by center and treatment will be assigned using an interactive voice or web-based response system (IVRS). All infants will receive up to 14 days of therapy, following a dose reduction schedule. The primary outcome measure will be change in oxygenation at 1 hour after start of therapy. In order to determine the effects of iNO therapy on survival and need for mechanical ventilation, cross-over will not be allowed.

This clinical trial will attempt to demonstrate if pre-term infants may benefit from treatment with nitric oxide for inhalation. A multi-center study is necessary to recruit an appropriate number of subjects, and to reflect the variability of standard practice across the different participating centers. All treatment assignments are blinded in order to minimize the risk of bias in treatment and data collection. In addition, a concurrent placebo group has been chosen as the most appropriate control group since there may be temporal, institutional and national variations in average outcomes. Methemoglobin levels will be measured locally and will collected in a blinded manner.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Inhaled Nitric OxideDrug

    Also called INOmax

    Inhaled Nitric Oxide will be administered continuously starting at 20ppm through an INOvent delivery system for up to 14 days.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Nitrogen gas will be administered in the same manor as the experimental drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Inhaled Nitric Oxide in people with Hypoxic Respiratory Failure With Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Mallinckrodt.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Arterial Blood Gases (time frame: Day 1 through Day 6). 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 9 Sep 2016.
