Exogenous Surfactant in Very Preterm Neonates in Prevention of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

A Phase 4 interventional study of Curosurf and Air in Infant, Premature, Diseases, Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, sponsored by Jean Michel Hascoet. Completed at 13 sites in France. Open to participants aged 12 Days to 16 Days. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-08-24.

Study summary

Advances in perinatal care have made it possible to improve the survival of the most immature neonates, but at the cost of an increase in the population at risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Measures that have attempted to limit the development of BPD are not always effective, or related to major side effects. The physiopathological factors that are identified in BPD should, in theory, respond to surfactant. Therefore, the use of an exogenous surfactant in neonates presenting with pulmonary disease requiring mechanical ventilation, leading to a significant risk of BPD, should allow earlier extubation and thus promote pulmonary healing and growth.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. duration of assisted ventilation

    we aim to demonstrate a significant reduction in the duration of assisted ventilation in children presenting with severe respiratory distress at 14+/-2 days of life.

    Time frame: days

Secondary outcomes

  1. to reduce the incidence of BPD

    Time frame: 36 weeks post conceptional age

  2. to improve the inflammatory status of the lung and to restore its capacities for healing and growth

    Time frame: one month

  3. to improve development in stature and weight, psychomotor development, and to reduce respiratory sequelae leading to re-hospitalisation

    Time frame: 2 years of age

  4. to improve height development, psychomotor development and respiratory function

    Time frame: 7 years of age
