About this study

The primary objective of this research is to compare the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation in the first seven days of life for infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) on nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) who receive surfactant via a Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) with those who are maintained on nCPAP and do not receive surfactant.

Read the detailed description

Secondary outcomes were total number of hours on mechanical ventilation, CPAP and supplemental oxygen during the first 7 days of life and for the entire hospitalization. Other secondary outcomes were number of surfactant doses, incidence of pulmonary air leak, survival until discharge, chronic lung disease (defined as need for oxygen at 36 weeks PMA), oxygen requirement at discharge, severe intraventricular hemorrhage (Grade 3/4), and periventricular leukomalacia.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
nCPAP Control GroupActive comparatorInfants in the Control Group were maintained continuously on nasal CPAP 6 cm H2O with no surfactant administered.
Receives: Device: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP)
LMA GroupExperimentalOnce proper placement of the LMA was achieved, surfactant (Curosurf®, 2.5 ml/kg, Chiesi USA, Inc., Cary, NC) was administered. The LMA cuff was then deflated, LMA removed and the infant placed back on nasal CPAP 6 cm H2O.
Receives: Device: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP); Device: Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) to deliver surfactant; Drug: Surfactants, Pulmonary

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Need for Intubation and Mechanical Ventilation in the First Seven Days of Life.

    "Treatment Failure" criteria were the same for both groups. "Treatment Failure" required two of the following: 1) FiO2 >40% for longer than 30 minutes (to maintain SaO2 88-92%), 2) PCO2 >65mmHg on ABG/CBG or >70 on VBG, or 3) pH<7.22 on ABG/CBG/VBG or one of the following: 1) recurrent or severe apnea, 2) hemodynamic instability requiring pressors, 3) repeat surfactant dose at appropriate time with FiO2 >40%, or 4) deemed necessary by medical provider.

    Measured: Seven days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Duration of CPAP Therapy

    Measured: During first seven days of life

  2. Duration of Oxygen Therapy

    Measured: During first seven days of life

  3. Incidence of Pulmonary Airleaks

    Measured: First 7 days of life

  4. Incidence of Severe IVH or PVL

    Measured: During hospitalization

  5. Incidence of Chronic Lung Disease

    Measured: Measured at hospital discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP), Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) to deliver surfactant and Surfactants, Pulmonary in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by University of Minnesota at 7 sites 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 27 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Feb 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Need for Intubation and Mechanical Ventilation in the First Seven Days of Life. (time frame: Seven days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01116921, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 27 Feb 2017.
