Trial summary

The three options for the treatment of patent ductus arterioles (PDA) in preterm infants are conservative approach, pharmacological intervention and surgical ligation. There is not any randomized-controlled trial that demonstrates the superiority of these approaches in preterm infants. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: International Experience in Timing And Choices of Treatment For Ductal Closure in Patent Ductus Arteriosus: INTERPDA Trial

The three options for the treatment of patent ductus arterioles (PDA) in preterm infants are conservative approach, pharmacological intervention and surgical ligation. There is not any randomized-controlled trial that demonstrates the superiority of these approaches in preterm infants.

Read the detailed description

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), of which incidence is inversely related to gestational age and birth weight, is one of the the most common conditions among preterm infants.

In recent years, the use of antenatal steroids, postnatal surfactant, noninvasive ventilation strategies and low oxygen saturation targets have affected the incidence of hemodynamically significant PDA (HSPDA). There is not any consensus about the best approach on the clinical management of PDA in preterm infants. Over past years, the management of HSPDA shifted to aggressive medical and surgical intervention from conservative treatment, but conservative treatment approach has been mainly concerned again nowadays.

Today, the three options for the treatment of PDA in preterm infants are conservative approach, pharmacological intervention and surgical ligation. There is not any randomized-controlled trial that demonstrates the superiority of these approaches in preterm infants. Many countries including developed countries only give recommendations, instead of publishing guidelines, on screening, timing of treatment and treatment choices of PDA, because of the differences on management of PDA between the centers even within a single center.

Timing of PDA treatment and treatment choices at preterm infants born before 28 gestation weeks' differ in our country also in many countries over the world. In this study, it is aimed to record the managements of PDA detected beyond postnatal 3 days, to compare the effects of the managements at postnatal 3-7 days and after 7 days on closure, surgical ligation rates and side effects of drugs.

What participants receive

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

  • EchocardiographyDevice

    Echocardiography is a kind of ultrasound test that shows the inner structure and functions of the heart in both groups.

Management at PN 3-7 daysPreterm infants with hemodynamically significant PDA confirmed by echocardiography and are treated at 3-7 days of their life

What is being measured

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

  1. Spontan closure rate

    Rate of patients with spontaneous ductal closure

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Surgical ligation rate

    rate of patients who need surgical ligation for hemodynamically significant ductus

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Complications of prematurity

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Patent Ductus Arteriosus, run by Ankara University.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ömer Erdeve, Professor (+90-505-4812151, omererdeve@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Spontan closure rate (time frame: 3 months). 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 Sep 2016.
