High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) Versus Nasal Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (NIMV)for Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS): a Randomized, Controlled, Prospective Study

A study testing NIMV with SLE ventilator vs HFNC via Vapotherm in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Bnai Zion Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

The investigators hypothesize that while the extremely low birthweight (ELBW) infants (<1000 g) may need NIMV for the treatment of RDS, larger infants or the smaller ones post extubation may enjoy the comfort benefits associated with HFNC while getting coparable respiratory support to NIMV.

What is being measured

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

  1. The percent of infants who will fail NRS and need endotracheal ventilation or will be switched to another mode of NRS.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical features on both methods

    Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, pulse oximetry saturation, and respiratory status prior to mechanical ventilation if needed according to arterial blood gas (PaO2, PCO2, pH), and "time to stop nasal support"

    Measured: 1 year

  2. % of infants with neonatal morbidities on both methods

    Incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), duration of mechanical ventilation, incidence of BPD (oxygen at 36 weeks post conceptional age to keep saturation>92%), time until full feeds, and length of stay.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. % of infants with possible side effects on both methods

    Nasal trauma due to NRS, rate of air leak (pneumothorax), gastrointestinal perforation, irritability and discomfort assessed by a validated score

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NIMV with SLE ventilator vs HFNC via Vapotherm in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Bnai Zion Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2015. 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The percent of infants who will fail NRS and need endotracheal ventilation or will be switched to another mode of NRS. (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT01189162, which also lists 2 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 13 Aug 2015.
