Trial summary

In preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), exogenous pulmonary surfactant(PS) replacement therapy is one of the most important therapeutic breakthrough to reduce neonatal incidences of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) and/or death. But not all preterm infants with RDS can be beneficial. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Optimal Dose of Surfactant for Preterm Infants With Respiratory Distress Syndrome(RDS)

In preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), exogenous pulmonary surfactant(PS) replacement therapy is one of the most important therapeutic breakthrough to reduce neonatal incidences of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) and/or death. But not all preterm infants with RDS can be beneficial. Otherwise, the international neonatal acute RDS (NARDS) collaborative group provides the first consensus definition for NARDS in 2017. And whether or not PS being beneficial in preterm infants with NARDS remains unknown.

Read the detailed description

To date, the optimal dose of PS is inconsistent, although the recommended dose of PS is given in the 2019 update guideline. PS is not recommended to adult and pediatric ARDS. Systematic review indicates that PS does not reduce the incidences of BPD and death in infants with meconium aspiration syndrome(MAS, a subtype of NARDS). A reasonable speculation is that preterm infants with NARDS do not benefit from PS. And the speculation can explain why not all preterm infants with RDS can be beneficial from PS. In the era of pre-NARDS, the preterm infants fulfilling the definition of NARDS may have been considered as RDS in the first three days after birth.

Meantime, the dose of PS given to infants with NARDS remains unknown. the aim of the present study is to assess the optimal dose of PS. the control group: PS is given according to the European RDS management guideline in 2019 edition. The study group: PS is stopped when the pressure is equal between before patent ductus arteriosus(bPDA) and after PDA(aPDA). the primary outcomes are the closure rate of PDA within 7 days, the incidence of BPD and/or death.

PS is stopped when the pressure is equal between bPDA and aPDA., PS is given according to the 2019 European RDS management guideline

What is being measured

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

  1. the size of PDA

    the size of PDA is zero

    Measured: within 7 days after birth

  2. BPD and/or death

    the BPD and/or death is diagnosed when the included infants remain needing oxygen at 36 week's gestational age

    Measured: at 36 week's gestational age

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PS is stopped when the pressure is equal between bPDA and aPDA. and PS is given according to the 2019 European RDS management guideline in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn and Patent Ductus Arteriosus, run by Daping Hospital and the Research Institute of Surgery of the Third Military Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 14 Oct 2022. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Chen Long, PhD,MD (13883559467 ext. 86, neuroclong@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the size of PDA (time frame: within 7 days after birth). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Oct 2022.
