About this study

Official title: An Oligo-center Observational Study to Collect Data in Preterm Neonates Born at or Above 27+0 Weeks of Gestational Age Who Are Sufficiently Stable on Non-Invasive Ventilatory Support

The purpose of this observational study is to collect data on vital signs, oxygen requirements and other data related to ventilator care in preterm neonates under standard of care treatment.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to collect data on vital signs, oxygen requirements and other data in preterm infants who are breathing stably on non-invasive ventilatory support. The data obtained during this study will be used to compare data obtained in a future study that will add a new medicinal product in combination with non-invasive ventilatory support to accelerate lung development in preterm infants.

The study will enroll approximately 40 patients. Participants will not be receiving any investigational medicinal product or device in this study.

All participants will have vital signs, oxygen requirements and other data collected continuously throughout the study.

This multi-centre trial will be conducted in Germany. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 10 weeks. Participants will be observed until they reach 36 weeks of gestational age or until they are discharged from the hospital.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time and failure-adjusted Area Under the Curve (AUC) from Time 0 (T0) to 98 hours after T0 (T47) (AUCT0-T47adjusted) of fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2)

    Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) is the amount of oxygen in the ventilator outlet gas flow.

    Measured: Beginning of the Intensive observation phase (T0; approximately 45 minutes after birth) to 98 hours after T0

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Time with optimal saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO2) of 88% to 96%

    Saturation of peripheral oxygen is the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin in the blood expressed as a percentage of the maximal binding capacity. It will be measured with a pulse oximeter.

    Measured: T0 and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75 4, 4.25. 4.5, 4.74, 5, 5.25, 5.75, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38, 42, 46, 50, and 54 hours

  2. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-failure necessitating intubation and mechanical ventillation and/or surfactant instillation during observation period from T0 to 98 hours

    CPAP failure is reached when FiO2 ≥ 50% is need for more than 15 minutes to reach 90% saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO2).

    Measured: T0 to 98 hours

  3. Percentage of participants requiring instillation of an approved surfactant preparation

    Measured: Gestational week (GW) 36+6 days

  4. Percentage of participants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at GW 36

    Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is defined as a lung injury in preterm neonates resulting from oxygen toxicity and/or mechanical ventilation (elevated air pressure).

    Measured: Gestational Week 36

  5. Respiratory rate over time

    Measured: T0 to Gestational Week 36

  6. Percentage of participants with a positive room-air challenge test at Gestational Week 36

    The room-air challenge test is defined as a weaning attempt allowing the participant to breath non-pressurized room air for 30 minutes. If a blood oxygen saturation of ≥90% is achieved during weaning, the weaning was successful and patients are considered to be free of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and need no further ventilation support.

    Measured: Gestational Week 36

  7. Mortality rate

    Measured: T0 to Gestational Week 36+6 days

  8. Time under Continuous Positive Airway Pressure ventilatory support

    Measured: T0 to Gestational Week 36+6 days

  9. Time of additional oxygen demand (FiO2 > 21%)

    Measured: T0 to Gestational Week 36+6 days

  10. Time in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or intermediate care unit (IMCU)

    Measured: T0 to Gestational Week 36+6 days

  11. Time of intubation for mechanical ventilation

    Measured: T0 to Gestational Week 36+6 days

  12. Time on any ventilation support

    Any ventilation support includes continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), manual support and intubation.

    Measured: T0 to Gestational Week 36+6 days

  13. Days in hospital

    Measured: From T0 to Gestational Week 36+6 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-invasive Ventilatory Support and Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Takeda at 3 sites in Germany.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany. 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?

Time and failure-adjusted Area Under the Curve (AUC) from Time 0 (T0) to 98 hours after T0 (T47) (AUCT0-T47adjusted) of fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) (time frame: Beginning of the Intensive observation phase (T0; approximately 45 minutes after birth) to 98 hours after T0). 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 22 Aug 2014.
