Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Participant's survival without CLD

    (measured at 36 weeks after birth)

Study Arms (2)

Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO)

EXPERIMENTAL

Nitric Oxide study gas will be initiated at 5 ppm using the INOvent delivery system. The delivery system provides for masked delivery of the treatment gas. This dose will be used for a 21-day period or until extubation.

Drug: iNO

Placebo
