About this study

Official title: Inhaled Nitric Oxide to Prevent and Treat Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Preterm Infants

Inhaled nitric oxide in preterm babies with respiratory failure or ventilator dependence will:

  1. decrease the incidence of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) or death
  2. shorten the length of oxygen therapy and hospital stay ,reduce the cost of hospital stay without increasing adverse effect
Read the detailed description

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia remains a problem in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) all over the world. This multicenter, non-randomized, unmasked clinical trial evaluate the efficacy of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in the treatment of the preterm infant with developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Infants were followed until death or discharge to home. The trial will compare iNO therapy to conventional management strategies (including treatment with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), surfactant and high frequency ventilation as adjuncts to iNO therapy) as the control.

During the initial dosing, iNO was started at 5 ppm and could be decreased to 1-2 ppm. The Infants would inhale NO until weaned. Infants will be monitored for signs of toxicity due to cumulated dosage of NO and its metabolites, such as methemoglobin, and nitrite and nitrate in blood and urine, and nitrogen dioxide in ventilator circuit to the patient.

What participants receive

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

  • Nitric OxideDrug

    Also called Nitrogen Monoxide, Endothelium Derived Relaxing Factor (EDRF)

    The infants in experimental group will receive inhale nitric oxide initiated at 5 ppm for 24 h followed by 2 ppm for 6 days or until weaning off

  • respiratory supportDevice

    Also called Nasal CPAP, Conventional mechanical ventilation, High frequency Oscillatory ventilation

    Routine respiratory support.

  2. Days on assisted ventilation

    Days on assisted ventilation before discharge

    Measured: Before discharge

  3. Length of oxygen therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Nitric Oxide and respiratory support in people with Pulmonary Disease, run by Fudan 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 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 28 Jan 2013. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

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?

Death or Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (time frame: Before discharge or at 36 weeks post-conceptional age). 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 Jan 2013.
