A Study in Preterm Neonates With RDS to Compare CUROSURF® Administration Through LISA and Conventional Administration (LISPAP)
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Written informed consent obtained by parents/legal representative (according to local regulation) prior to or after birth
- Preterm neonates of either sex aged ≥30 minutes and <24 hours, spontaneously breathing and stabilized on non-invasive ventilation (NIV).
- Gestational age of 25+0 weeks up to 28+6 completed weeks, except for the first 15 enrolled neonates in which the gestational age will be restricted to 27+0 weeks up to 28+6 weeks.
- Clinical course consistent with RDS.
- Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ≥0.30 to maintain SpO2 between 88-95%.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Need for immediate endotracheal intubation for cardiopulmonary resuscitation or insufficient respiratory drive
- Use of nasal high frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) prior to study entry
- Use of surfactant prior to study entry and need for intratracheal administration of any other treatment (e.g. nitric oxide)
- Known genetic or chromosomal disorders, major congenital anomalies (congenital heart diseases, myelomeningocele etc)
- Mothers with prolonged rupture of the membranes (> 21 days duration)
- Presence of air leaks if identified and known prior to study entry
- Evidence of severe birth asphyxia (e.g. continued need for resuscitation at 10 minutes after birth, altered neurological state, or neonatal encephalopathy)
- Neonatal seizures prior to study entry
- Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would place the neonate at undue risk
- Participation in another clinical trial of any medicinal product, placebo, experimental medical device, or biological substance conducted under the provisions of a protocol on the same therapeutic target.

Experimental
Active Comparator
Curosurf LISA
Curosurf Endotracheal Tube
Single dose of poractant alfa 200 mg/kg via brief insertion of a thin catheter (CHF 6440) into the trachea in neonates with RDS. A second surfactant dose at 100 mg/kg will be administered with the same technique as the first dosage administration if needed. After the first and second surfactant administration, neonates could receive a third surfactant dose at 100 mg/kg through a standard technique if needed.
