Trial summary

The incidence of pulmonary hemorrhage (PH) was about 1.3 per 1,000 live births. PH occurs mainly in preterm ventilated infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) who often have a PDA and have received surfactant. Read more about this study

About this study

The incidence of pulmonary hemorrhage (PH) was about 1.3 per 1,000 live births. PH occurs mainly in preterm ventilated infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) who often have a PDA and have received surfactant. Although not clear, the cause of PH is thought to be due to a rapid lowering of intrapulmonary pressure, which facilitates left to right shunting across a patent ductus arteriosus and an increase in pulmonary blood flow. Prospective uncontrolled studies that used surfactant for PH in neonates have shown promising results in treating PH.In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of two different natural surfactants in neonates with pulmonary hemorrhage.

Read the detailed description

The incidence of PH was about 1.3 per 1,000 live births. Formerly,the risk factors associated with PH included the severity of the associated illness, intrauterine growth restriction, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), coagulopathy, and the need for assisted ventilation. Currently, PH occurs mainly in preterm ventilated infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) who often have a PDA and have received surfactant. Currently, PH complicates the hospital course of 3-5% of preterm infants with RDS. The cause of PH is thought to be due to a rapid lowering of intrapulmonary pressure, which facilitates left to right shunting across a patent ductus arteriosus and an increase in pulmonary blood flow. Prospective uncontrolled studies that used surfactant for PH in neonates have shown promising results in treating PH.In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of two different natural surfactants in neonates with pulmonary hemorrhage.

What participants receive

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

  • Poractant alfaDrug

    Also called Curosurf

    Curosurf: 100 mg/kg-intratracheal, just after pulmonary hemorrhage

  • BeractantDrug

    Also called Survanta

    Survanta: 100 mg/kg-intratracheal, just after pulmonary hemorrhage

What is being measured

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

  1. Oxygen requirement

    We will evaluate the need of oxygen support within 6 hour after surfactant

    Measured: 6 hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mortality

    We will compare the rate of mortality between the groups during neonatal period

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Poractant alfa and Beractant in people with Pulmonary Hemorrhage, run by Dr. Sami Ulus Children's Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Oxygen requirement (time frame: 6 hour). 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 NCT01860014, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 May 2013.
