    Initial dose of 10 mg/kg of oral ibuprofen, followed by two doses of 5 mg/kg 24 and 48 hours later

  • Normal salineDrug

    Also called Sodium chloride, Huons. Inc.

    Initial dose of normal saline followed by second and third dose 24 and 48 hours later, at equal volume to ibuprofen arm

    Measured: 28-days since birth and 36 weeks PMA

  4. incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (grade 3 or greater)

    Measured: 28-days since birth

  5. Incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (stage III or greater)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oral ibuprofen and Normal saline in people with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 9 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 13 Jan 2020. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Incidence of moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or mortality at 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) (time frame: 36 weeks PMA). 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 NCT02128191, 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 13 Jan 2020.
