NCT05711966

Brief Summary

The primary hypothesis of this study is that surfactant administration by INtubate-RECruit-SURfactant-Extubate (IN-REC-SUR-E), via a high frequency oscillatory ventilation recruitment maneuver increases survival without BPD at 36 weeks' gestational age in spontaneously breathing infants born at 24+0-27+6 weeks' gestation affected by Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and failing nasal CPAP or nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) during the first 24 hours of life compared to less invasive surfactant administration (LISA).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • A composite outcome of death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age

    A composite outcome of death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age is the primary outcome because BPD represents the most severe respiratory morbidity of preterm infants and death is a competing risk. The diagnosis of BPD will be ascertained by a standardized test. Infants remaining on mechanical ventilation or CPAP at 36 weeks postmenstrual age, or those with a supplemental oxygen concentration ≥0.30 to obtain SpO2 between 90% to 94% will receive a BPD diagnosis without additional testing. Infants with a supplemental oxygen concentration \< 0.30 to obtain SpO2 between 90% to 94% or those receiving high-flow nasal cannula therapy will undergo a timed stepwise reduction to room air without any flow. Those in whom the reduction will not be tolerated will receive a BPD diagnosis.

    36 weeks' postmenstrual age or death

Secondary Outcomes (18)

  • BPD at 36 weeks' s postmenstrual age

    36 weeks' s postmenstrual age

  • Death at 36 weeks' s postmenstrual age or before discharge

    36 weeks' s postmenstrual age or hospital stay

  • SpO2/FiO2 at 3 days, 7 days, and thereafter every 7 days until 36 weeks postmenstrual age

    36 weeks postmenstrual age

  • Severe intraventricular hemorrhage (grade 3 or 4 based on the Papile criteria)

    Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 weeks

  • Occurrence of air leaks including pneumothorax or pulmonary interstitial emphysema before discharge

    Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 weeks

  • +13 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

IN-REC-SUR-E

EXPERIMENTAL

INRECSURE infants will receive preintubation medications and HFOV starting at MAP 8 cmH2O; frequency 15 Hz, with volume-guarantee (1.5-1.7 mL/kg). The I:E will be 1:1. An oxygenation guid-ed lung recruitment procedure will be performed using stepwise increments then decrements in MAP. The starting MAP will be increased stepwise as long as SpO2 improves reducing the FiO2 keeping SpO2 within the target range (90-94 %) until the oxygenation no longer improves or the FiO2 is equal to or less than 0.25 (opening MAP). Next, the MAP will be reduced stepwise until the SpO2 deterio-rates (closing MAP). After a second recruitment maneuver at the opening pressure, the optimal MAP will be set 2 cmH2O above the closing MAP. Then 200 mg/kg of poractant alfa (Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., Parma, Italy) via a closed administration system will administrate. Infants with sufficient res-piratory drive will be extubated within 30 minutes after surfactant administration starting nCPAP (7-9 cm H2O) or NIPPV.

Device: Ventilator for High-frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV)

Less Invasive Surfactant Administration

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

By contrast, infants allocated to the LISA group will receive 200 mg/kg of poractant alfa (Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., Parma, Italy) according to the following protocol: during nasal CPAP with a pressure of 7-8 cm H2O, surfactant will be administered over 0.5-3 min using the SurfCathâ„¢ tracheal instillation catheter (VYGON S.A. - Ecouen, France), or a 4- 6 F end-hole catheter, according to local protocols. After the same pre-procedural medications, the catheters will be positioned during laryngoscopy with or without Magill forceps. The catheter will be connected to a syringe pre-filled with the surfactant, and the surfactant is instilled slowly. The infant's mouth will be closed. In cases of apnoea or bradycardia, positive pressure ventilation will be performed until recovery. After surfactant administration, CPAP (7-9 cm H2O) therapy (16) or NIPPV will be continued.

Device: Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA)

Interventions

This device will be used to perform an HFOV recruitment maneuver before surfactant administration

IN-REC-SUR-E

SurfCathâ„¢ tracheal instillation catheter, or a 4- 6 F end-hole catheter, according to local protocols will be used for surfactant administration
