  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Neonates born between 34-0/7 and 41-6/7 weeks gestational age (GA) at birth with primary pulmonary disease of the newborn including Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN), Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), air leak syndrome, pneumonia, or meconium aspiration syndrome in the first 12 hours of life will be eligible for inclusion in this study.

About this study

Official title: Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial Of Restrictive Fluid Management For Respiratory Distress in the Newborn Period

The object of this study is to determine the best way to care for infants with respiratory distress. The investigators are testing a method of feeding fluids to infants with respiratory distress in amounts similar to what healthy breastfed babies eat when they are feeding on demand, and comparing this method to the current standard of care for feeding fluids to infants with respiratory distress. These methods of feeding fluids to the study infants will continue until the infants are able to feed normally by mouth. The study will include about 400 infants across five sites in the United States, Chile and Argentina.

Read the detailed description

Infants with respiratory distress syndrome will be enrolled within the first twelve hours of life, and randomly assigned to one of two groups: the first group will receive the interventional fluid management method, and the second (the control group) will receive the current standard of care for fluid management. To standardize respiratory care across all five study sites, a computer-based algorithm for respiratory support management based on objective markers of respiratory distress will guide clinician management decisions. However, each infant's medical team will make all final decisions on respiratory treatment and IV fluid management. Any study infant who experiences dehydration and/or low blood sugar during the course of the study will be removed from the study and be treated for the condition.

What participants receive

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

  • Fluid Management InterventionOther

    Fluid management intervention is fluid restriction to 60 mL/kg/day on Day of Life (DOL) 1 for preterm and 40 mL/kg/day on DOL 1 for term neonates, calculated as total of IV and enteral fluid intake. Infants randomized to low infusion with be placed on 10% dextrose and the Infant will be monitored by obtaining serum glucose levels by point of care testing. Glucose infusion rates (GIR) would be calculated to the corresponding serum glucose and recorded. After 24 hours, infusion rate will be increased to 60ml/kg/d providing minimum GIR >4mg/kg/d. . Total fluid intake will be increased by 20 mL/kg/day until 150 mL/kg/day .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fluid Management Intervention in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn, run by University of Oklahoma at 2 sites 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 30 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

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 from birth to first oral feeding (time frame: every 24 hours for up to 168 hours). 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 NCT03120585, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 30 Jun 2021.
