Trial summary

With the development of the Intubation Surfactant Extubation technic, in which surfactant is administered during a brief intubation followed by immediate extubation, surfactant therapy can be given during nasal continuous positive airway pressure treatment further reducing need for mechanical ventilation.

About this study

Official title: Efficacy Evaluation of Surfactant Administration for Respiratory Distress Syndrome Treatment Via Laryngeal Mask Airway. A Randomized Controlled Trial

With the development of the Intubation Surfactant Extubation technic, in which surfactant is administered during a brief intubation followed by immediate extubation, surfactant therapy can be given during nasal continuous positive airway pressure treatment further reducing need for mechanical ventilation. Preterm newborn babies until eight hours of life, with respiratory distress syndrome, will be randomized to standard delivery of surfactant via endotracheal tube airway inserted after premedication for pain with midazolam and remifentanil or to surfactant delivery via Proseal laryngeal mask airway size 1. The intent is to is to compare efficacy and safety of surfactant administration via two different airways and ventilatory approaches.

Use tracheal intubation for surfactant therapy, Use of Proseal laryngeal mask airway for surfactant therapy

Study groups in NCT01173237
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Tracheal intubationActive comparatorEndotracheal tube is a airway device used for ventilation or surfactant administration, in preterm babies with SDR surfactant deficiency.
Receives: Procedure: Use tracheal intubation for surfactant therapy
Proseal laryngeal mask airwayExperimentalLaryngeal mask airway is a airway device used for ventilation with self-inflating bag or flow-inflating bag. In this study it will be used for surfactant administration, in preterm babies with SDR surfactant deficiency.
Receives: Procedure: Use of Proseal laryngeal mask airway for surfactant therapy

    Measured: three hours

  2. Proseal laryngeal mask surfactant treatment failure

    Measured: Six hours

  3. Rate of respiratory distress syndrome complications

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Use tracheal intubation for surfactant therapy and Use of Proseal laryngeal mask airway for surfactant therapy in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn, run by Federal University of Minas Gerais at 2 sites in Brazil.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 28 Jun 2011. 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 Brazil. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Rosilu F Barbosa, MD, MSc (00 55 31 88144163, rosilu@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fraction of inspired oxygen (time frame: three hours). 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 28 Jun 2011.
