About this study

Official title: LISA Catheter With Marked vs. Unmarked Tip in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants With RDS: a Crossover Randomized Controlled Manikin Trial

This is an unblinded, randomized, controlled, crossover (AB/BA) trial of surfactant treatment with LISA catheter with a marked tip vs. LISA catheter with an unmarked tip in a manikin simulating an extremely low birth weight infant. Participants will be level III NICU consultants and residents. Randomization will be performed using a computer-generated random assignment list. The primary outcome measure will be the positioning of the device at the correct depth in the trachea. The secondary outcome measures will be the time and number of attempts to achieve the correct depth and participant satisfaction.

Read the detailed description

Although less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) offers some advantages in ventilation procedure and neonatal outcomes, achieving the correct depth in the trachea using a LISA catheter may be difficult. This may have some drawbacks such as impaired surfactant administration (reducing the efficacy of the procedure) or prolonged duration of the laryngoscopy (aggravating the invasiveness of the procedure).

The aims of the present study should be: i) positioning of the device at the correct depth in the trachea, ii) time and number of attempts to achieve the correct depth, iii) participant satisfaction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants who will achieve the positioning of the device at the correct depth in the trachea

    Number of participants who will achieve the positioning of the device at the correct depth in the trachea (as assessed by the external observer using a laryngoscope).

    Measured: 5 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time for positioning the device in the trachea

    The time of device positioning will be defined as the time elapsed from the positioning of the laryngoscope in the manikin mouth to the connection of the syringe to the catheter

    Measured: 5 minutes

  2. Number of attempts for positioning the device in the trachea

    The total number of attempts for positioning the device in the trachea

    Measured: 5 minutes

  3. Participant opinion on using the device

    Participant opinion on using the device which will be evaluated using a Likert scale (1 worse outcome to 5 best outcome)

    Measured: 10 minutes

Model description
Participants in AB arm will be assigned to perform the procedure with LISA catheter with marked tip, followed by the procedure with LISA catheter with unmarked tip. Participants in BA arm will be assigned to the reverse sequence. A washout period of 6 hours (one procedure in the morning and one in the afternoon) will be included to reduce any carryover effect

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Surfactant administration with less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) marked tip catheter and Surfactant administration with less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) unmarked tip catheter in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn, run by University Hospital Padova at 1 site in Italy.

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 26 Jul 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 Italy. 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?

Number of participants who will achieve the positioning of the device at the correct depth in the trachea (time frame: 5 minutes). 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 NCT05399628, 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 26 Jul 2022.
