About this study

Official title: A Prospective Observational Study of Surfactant AdministrationMethods for Preterm Infants With Respiratory Distress SyndromeWith Long-term Follow-up in the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate different methods of surfactant administration in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Preterm infants often have immature lungs and a deficiency of surfactant, a substance that helps keep the lungs open and supports oxygen exchange.Surfactant can be delivered to the lungs using different techniques, including INSURE (brief intubation), LISA (via a thin catheter), SALSA (via a laryngeal mask airway), and traditional administration via endotracheal intubation followed by mechanical ventilation. The main question this study aims to answer is:Which method of surfactant administration is associated with better clinical outcomes in preterm infants with RDS?The study will prospectively collect clinical data on infants receiving surfactant as part of standard care, with long-term follow-up using data from the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register. The results are intended to be used to inform the design of a future randomized multicenter study.

Read the detailed description

Background Complications of preterm birth are the leading cause of child mortality worldwide, with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) as a major contributor. RDS is primarily caused by surfactant deficiency due to immature lungs. Early surfactant therapy, in combination with antenatal corticosteroids and non-invasive respiratory support such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), is central to treatment. However, mechanical ventilation is associated with an increased risk of lung injury and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), prompting the development of less invasive surfactant administration techniques.

Surfactant Administration Methods Three main methods are currently used in spontaneously breathing preterm infants. The INSURE method involves transient intubation for surfactant delivery followed by extubation. Less Invasive Surfactant Administration (LISA) uses a thin catheter inserted below the vocal cords under laryngoscopy, allowing continued spontaneous breathing. LISA is recommended as first-line treatment in European guidelines due to improved outcomes compared to INSURE. However, both methods require laryngoscopy and are technically demanding, with potential adverse events.

Surfactant Administration via Laryngeal or Supraglottic Airways (SALSA) is a newer, less invasive technique that delivers surfactant via a supraglottic airway without laryngoscopy or passage through the vocal cords. Preliminary studies suggest comparable effectiveness to INSURE and CPAP, with potential safety advantages. Historically, SALSA has been limited to larger infants due to lack of appropriately sized devices, but newly available CE-marked devices now enable its use in extremely preterm infants.

Rationale Despite widespread use of INSURE, LISA, and SALSA, there are no direct comparisons between LISA and SALSA, and real-world data on their implementation, safety, and outcomes are limited. In Sweden, these methods are used variably across neonatal units, and their relative use and outcomes have not been systematically evaluated. The availability of smaller supraglottic airway devices now allows evaluation of SALSA in the most vulnerable population, including extremely preterm infants.

Aim The primary aim is to prospectively evaluate and compare the feasibility, safety, clinical performance, and procedural characteristics of surfactant administration methods (SALSA, LISA, INSURE) in spontaneously breathing preterm infants in a real-world clinical setting.

Secondary aims include comparison with infants receiving surfactant via intubation followed by mechanical ventilation, evaluation of short- and long-term clinical outcomes, and generation of data to inform the design of a future randomized multicentre trial.

Study Design This is a prospective, multicentre, observational study conducted in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Region Västra Götaland (VGR), Sweden. No interventions are introduced, and all treatment decisions are made according to local clinical guidelines.

Study Population Eligible participants are preterm infants (37 weeks' gestation) receiving their first surfactant treatment within 48 hours of birth due to suspected or confirmed RDS. Infants are included regardless of administration method.

Data Collection and Follow-up Data are collected from routine clinical documentation, structured procedure forms, clinician surveys, and the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register (SNQ). Variables include perinatal factors, procedural details, respiratory outcomes, and morbidity. Infants are followed until discharge and, where applicable, at 2 and 5.5 years of age using SNQ data.

Outcomes The primary outcome is treatment failure, defined as the need for mechanical ventilation or repeat surfactant administration within 72 hours. Secondary outcomes include changes in oxygenation, need for respiratory support, adverse events, procedural characteristics, and short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. Clinician-reported feasibility and ease of use are also assessed.

Statistical Considerations All eligible infants will be included over a three-year period, with an expected sample size of approximately 300 infants. Analyses will include descriptive statistics, unadjusted comparisons, and multivariable regression models, with propensity score matching to address confounding.

Ethics Ethical approval has been granted by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority. Written informed consent is obtained from caregivers for participation and for permission to collect and analyse observational data. Participation is voluntary and does not affect the infant's clinical care.

Significance This study will provide real-world evidence on the use, safety, and outcomes of different surfactant administration methods, including the implementation of SALSA in extremely preterm infants. The results will inform clinical practice and provide essential data for the design of a future large-scale randomized multicentre trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (& [Hyaline Membrane Disease]) and Respiratory Distress Syndrome (Neonatal), run by Vastra Gotaland Region at 1 site in Sweden.

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 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2026. 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 Sweden. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Anders Elfvin, Professor (+46313438073, anders.elfvin@vgregion.se), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mechanical ventilation or repeat surfactant within 72 hours after first surfactant treatment delivered by LISA, SALSA or INSURE method (time frame: Within 72 hours after first surfactant treatment). 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 NCT07550218, which also lists 3 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 20 Aug 2026.
