NCT00955487

Brief Summary

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a serious lung condition that affects premature newborns. The condition involves abnormal development of lung tissue and is characterized by inflammation and scarring in the lungs. Treatment with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) may reduce the incidence of BPD and another commonly associated condition called pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the vessels carrying blood to the lungs.. This study will determine if early treatment with low-dose iNO reduces the incidence of BPD, pulmonary hypertension, and death in premature newborns.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Combined Endpoint of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) or Mortality

    Number of participants that developed bronchopulmonary dysplasia and/or that died

    Week 36 or earlier, if participants are discharged from the hospital

  • Combined Endpoint of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) or Mortality Stratified by Birth Weight

    Number of participants that developed bronchopulmonary dysplasia and/or that died, stratified by birth weight (grams)

    Randomization to discharge

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Severity of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)

    36 weeks corrected gestational age

  • Need for Mechanical Ventilation

    Anytime after randomization up to 36 weeks corrected gestational age

  • Total Ventilation Days

    After randomization up until hospital discharge

  • Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)

    After randomization through hospital discharge

  • Symptomatic PDA Requiring Medical Treatment

    From randomization until discharge

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Days in Hospital

    From birth to hospital discharge

Study Arms (2)

Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive a low concentration of iNO until they are 30 weeks corrected gestational age or for 14 days if they were born at 29 weeks or more.

Drug: Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO)

Nitrogen (placebo)

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants will receive nitrogen (placebo) while in the hospital.

Drug: Nitrogen (placebo)

Interventions

iNO will be delivered using the iNOVent device to provide 10 ppm proximally (yielding approximately 5 ppm to the posterior pharynx).

Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO)

Nitrogen will be delivered using the iNOVent device to provide 10 ppm proximally (yielding approximately 5 ppm to the posterior pharynx).

Eligibility Criteria

AgeUp to 72 Hours
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Birth weight of 500-1250 grams and gestational age of less than 34 weeks
  • Age at enrollment is less than 72 hours
  • Supplemental oxygen or 21% requirement by nasal cannula or NCPAP only

You may not qualify if:

  • Presence of structural heart disease (other than patent ductus arteriosus, atrial septal defect less than 1 cm, or muscular ventricular septal defect less than 2 mm)
  • Presence of lethal congenital anomaly
  • Participating in another concurrent experimental study
  • Requires mechanical ventilation in the first 72 hours of life (patients are not excluded if they are intubated briefly but they must be extubated at the time of consent and study entry prior to 72 hours of life)
