About this study

Official title: Randomized Control Trial of Weaning NCPAP From Preterm Infants: Sudden Wean Versus Weaning by Gradually Decreasing Pressure

To compare the 2 methods of weaning of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in premature babies born between 26 and 32 weeks

Read the detailed description

To study the weight and the post menstrual age (PMA) at the time of NCPAP wean utilizing the method of sudden wean as compared to gradual wean.

Methods: A prospective randomized trial was conducted comparing sudden weaning with gradual weaning from NCPAP in neonates with gestational age between 26 and 32 weeks. The patients were randomized to one of the two methods of weaning from NCPAP and their success was compared

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Success of weaning on first trial off NCPAP

    Measured: Completion of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) treatment, expected average of 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Weight and corrected GA when come off oxygen

    Measured: when off supplemental oxygen expected average of 2 weeks

  2. Weight and corrected gestational age (GA) when neonates could come off NCPAP

    Measured: Completion of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) treatment, expected average of 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gradual pressure wean in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Maimonides Medical Center 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 8 Jun 2016. 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?

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?

Success of weaning on first trial off NCPAP (time frame: Completion of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) treatment, expected average of 4 weeks). 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 NCT02126501, 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 8 Jun 2016.
