Trial summary

Very premature infants often cannot breathe on their own and require assistance with a respirator. Conventional respirators deliver air or oxygen via a breathing tube placed through the mouth to the airway (endotracheal tube). A prolonged use of an endotracheal tube is associated with injury to the lungs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation Allows Early Extubation In Infants Less Than 28 Weeks Gestation: A Pilot Study

Very premature infants often cannot breathe on their own and require assistance with a respirator. Conventional respirators deliver air or oxygen via a breathing tube placed through the mouth to the airway (endotracheal tube). A prolonged use of an endotracheal tube is associated with injury to the lungs. Currently, a premature baby has to be ventilated through an endotracheal tube until he/she can fully breathe independently. In the current study, in order to shorten the time with an endotracheal tube, we utilized an alternative, less invasive ventilation procedure, nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV). This procedure provides help with breathing, but requires only nasal, not endotracheal tubes. We hypothesized that NIPPV might help babies breathe, at an early stage in their recovery, when they could not breathe independently yet. Thus, by switching babies at this early stage from a regular respirator to NIPPV, we should be able to shorten the use of an injurious endotracheal tube.

What participants receive

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

  • Extubation to NIPPVProcedure or surgery

    Also called NIPPV

    After extubation infants were placed on NIPPV as soon as all the extubation criteria were met

  • Extubation to CPAPProcedure or surgery

    Also called CPAP

    After extubation infants were placed on CPAP

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Days Being Intubated

    Measured: 30 days from birth

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Reintubation

    Reintubation rate is a measure of the efficacy of NIPPV.

    Measured: 0-7 days post-extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Extubation to NIPPV and Extubation to CPAP in people with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, run by Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 12 Mar 2013. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Mar 2013). 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?

Number of Days Being Intubated (time frame: 30 days from birth). 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 12 Mar 2013.
