Trial summary

This is a null hypothesis study. The investigators hypothesize that there will be no difference in changes in dynamic compliance when measured at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minute intervals after administration of either surfactant and there will be no differences in the number of doses needed between the two surfactants in… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Immediate Changes in Pulmonary Compliance Between Curosurf and Survanta in Preterm Infants With Respiratory Distress Syndrome

This is a null hypothesis study. The investigators hypothesize that there will be no difference in changes in dynamic compliance when measured at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minute intervals after administration of either surfactant and there will be no differences in the number of doses needed between the two surfactants in premature infants admitted to our NICU.

Read the detailed description

Premature newborn infants may have impaired lung function as a result of their prematurity. When this occurs, the newborns show poor oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange and difficulty in breathing. The reason for these symptoms is due in part to the lack of special chemicals in the lungs, called phospholipids or surfactant. The lack of these special chemicals causes the babies lung to be difficult to ventilate. Treatment of this condition can require placing an artificial airway (endotracheal tube) into the babies windpipe (intubation) and use of a breathing machine (ventilator). In addition, physicians frequently give these special chemicals (phospholipid) through the childs airway. There are several different types of phospholipids available for this treatment in newborns but very limited amount of studies have been done to examine differences in the ability to ventilate between the various types of surfactant. The investigators propose to examine immediate changes in ability to ventilate (dynamic compliance) at specific time intervals after administration of either type of surfactant; Curosurf or Survanta.

What participants receive

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

  • Curosurf®Drug

    Initial dose is 2.5ml/kg (200 mg/kg phospholipid) administered via endotracheal tube. Subsequent doses if needed are 1.25 mL/kg (100 mg/kg phospholipids).

  • Survanta®Drug

    Initial dose is 4 mL/kg (100 mg/kg phospholipids) administered via endotracheal tube. Subsequent doses if needed are 4 mL/kg (100 mg/kg phospholipids).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in dynamic compliance

    Patient's dynamic compliance will be measured immediately after initial dosage, q15 minutes for 60 minutes and hourly for 48 hrs as long as intubated.

    Measured: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes and then hourly intervals after administration of surfactant. Subjects' compliance will be monitored hourly after the first 60 minutes while they are being ventilated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Curosurf® and Survanta® in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by University of Michigan 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 8 inclusion and 2 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 8 Jan 2014. 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 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?

Change in dynamic compliance (time frame: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes and then hourly intervals after administration of surfactant. Subjects' compliance will be monitored hourly after the first 60 minutes while they are being ventilated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.). 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 8 Jan 2014.
