Trial summary

Neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) is a rare but often severe respiratory disorder. The incidence remains unclear and mortality is about 30%-60%. It is characterized by acute, refractory hypoxemia, persistent respiratory distress and decreased lung compliance. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 1 minute to 1 month
  • All sexes
  • Child

Study population: the definition of neonatal ARDS applies to infants from birth until 44 weeks, post-menstrual age or until 4 weeks, postnatal age (for neonates born after 40 weeks, post-menstrual age) to account for the role of prematurity; ARDS in infants older than these age limits should be diagnosed according to PALICC definition

Who may be able to join

  • Acute onset (ie, within one week) from a known or suspected clinical insult
  • Exclusion criteria: RDS, TTN, or congenital anomalies as a primary current acute respiratory condition
  • Diffuse, bilateral, and irregular opacities or infiltrates, or complete opacification of the lungs, which are not fully explained by local effusions, atelectasis, RDS, TTN, or congenital anomalies
  • Absence of congenital heart disease explaining the oedema (this includes ductus arteriosus with pulmonary overflow if no acute pulmonary haemorrhage exists). Echocardiography is needed to verify the origin of oedema.
  • Mild ARDS: 4≤OI<8;Moderate ARDS: 8≤OI<16;Severe ARDS: OI≥16

Who cannot join

  • Hyaline Membrane Disease defined as:
  • Mandatory criteria : defined as respiratory distress syndrome appearing within the first 24 hours of life, with response to surfactant and / or volume recruitment. Additional criteria : Lung imaging Supporting the diagnosis and / or lamellar body counts < 30,000 / mm3.
  • Transient tachypnea of the neonate (wet lung) defined as:
  • Mandatory criteria : defined as mild ( Silverman score ≤3 ) respiratory distress appearing within the first 24 hours of life and ending within the first 48 hours of life, needing only oxygen administration and / or CPAP. Additional criteria : Lung imaging Supporting the diagnosis and / or lamellar body counts > 30,000 / mm3.
  • Patients beyond the first month of life

About this study

Official title: Risk Factors, Clinical Course, Treatment and Prognosis of Neonatal Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): A Prospective, Observational Cohort Study

Neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) is a rare but often severe respiratory disorder. The incidence remains unclear and mortality is about 30%-60%. It is characterized by acute, refractory hypoxemia, persistent respiratory distress and decreased lung compliance. Evaluation and comparison of various clinical studies conducted were hindered by a lack of uniformity in diagnostic criteria.

Read the detailed description

In 2017, the neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) Consortium Working Group has proposed diagnostic criteria for neonatal ARDS. The study consists of a prospective, multicentre, web-based,cohort study in China in which neonates who fulfil the new criteria definition are enrolled in order to: describe the epidemiology, clinical course, and prognosis of neonates affected by neonatal ARDS; identify a list of risk factors for neonatal ARDS, as it exists for adults and older children with ARDS; and guide future studies.

    Measured: before discharge or 36 weeks' gestational age

  3. epidemiological characteristics in infants with neonatal ARDS

    to describe the epidemiological characteristics in infants with neonatal ARDS

    Measured: before discharge or 36 weeks' gestational age

  4. intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neonatal Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome(ARDS), run by Daping Hospital and the Research Institute of Surgery of the Third Military Medical University at 2 sites 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 5 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 9 Jan 2020. 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 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?

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?

bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) (time frame: before discharge or 36 weeks' gestational age). 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 NCT03311165, 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 9 Jan 2020.
