NCT03253263

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational drug can prevent Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, reducing the burden of chronic lung disease in extremely premature infants, as compared to extremely premature infants receiving standard neonatal care alone.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Reduction in the incidence of severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks (±3 days) Postmenstrual Age (PMA), or death at or before 36 weeks PMA, whichever comes first as compared to the SNC group.

    Severe BPD is defined by the modified NICHD severity grading

    Baseline through 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA)

Secondary Outcomes (18)

  • Reducing the burden of Chronic Lung Disease, as indicated by a reduction in time to final weaning off of Respiratory Technology Support (RTS) through 12 months Corrected Age (CA), as compared to the SNC group.

    Baseline through 12 months CA

  • Reduction in the incidence of severe BPD at 36 weeks (±3 days) PMA, or death at or before 36 weeks PMA, whichever comes first as compared to the SNC group.

    Time Frame: Baseline through 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA)

  • Occurrence of severe (Grade 3 and 4) intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) before 40 weeks PMA, as assessed by cranial ultrasound as compared to the SNC group

    Baseline through 40 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA)

  • To assess the effect of OHB-607 on occurrence of severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) (Stage 3 and above) up to 40 weeks PMA as compared to the SNC group

    Baseline through 40 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA)

  • To assess the effect of OHB-607 on chronic respiratory outcomes as measured by the Chronic Lung Disease Prematurity Severity Score (CLDPSS) as compared to the SNC group at 12 months CA.

    Baseline until 12 months CA using CLDPSS

  • +13 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

OHB-607

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive continuous IV infusion of OHB-607 through from birth up to PMA 29 weeks +6 days.

Drug: OHB-607

Standard Neonatal Care

NO INTERVENTION

Standard neonatal care alone will be provided.

Interventions

Participants will receive intravenous infusion of OHB-607 from birth up to PMA 29 weeks + 6 days.

Also known as: Mecasermin Rinfabate
OHB-607

Eligibility Criteria

Age0 Hours - 24 Hours
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Written informed consents and/or assents must be signed and dated by the participant's parent(s) prior to any study related procedures. The informed consent and any assents for underage parents must be approved by the IRB/IEC (in accordance with local regulations).
  • Written informed consents and/or assents must be signed and dated by the participant's birth mother prior to providing study-related information related to birth mother medical history, pregnancy and the birth of the participant. The informed consent and any assents for underage birth mothers must be approved by the IRB/IEC (in accordance with local regulations).
  • Subjects must be between 23 weeks +0 days and 27 weeks +6 days GA, inclusive.

You may not qualify if:

  • Detectable major (or severe) congenital malformation identified before randomization.
  • Known or suspected chromosomal abnormality, genetic disorder, or syndrome, identified before randomization, according to the investigator's opinion.
  • Hypoglycemia at Baseline (blood glucose less than (\<) 45 milligrams per deciliter \[mg/dL\] or 2.5 milli moles per liter \[mmol/L\]) which persists in spite of glucose supplementation, to exclude severe congenital abnormalities of glucose metabolism.
  • Clinically significant neurological disease identified before randomization according to cranial ultrasound (hemorrhages confined to the germinal matrix are allowed) and investigator's opinion.
  • Any other condition or therapy that, in the investigator's opinion, may pose a risk to the participant or interfere with the participant's potential compliance with this protocol or interfere with interpretation of results.
  • Current or planned participation in a clinical study of another investigational study treatment, device, or procedure (participation in non-interventional studies is permitted on a case-by-case basis).
  • The participant or participant's parent(s) is/are unable to comply with the protocol or is unlikely to be available for long-term follow-up as determined by the investigator.
  • Birth mother with active COVID-19 infection at birth or a history of severe COVID-19 infection (requiring intensive care hospitalization) during pregnancy.
  • Birth mother with known HIV or hepatitis (B, C, or E) infection.
