Appropriate Oxygen Levels for Extremely Preterm Infants: a Prospective Meta-analysis

InfantPremature8 more

The primary question to be addressed by this study is: compared with a functional oxygen saturation level (SpO2) of 91-95%, does targeting SpO2 85-89% in extremely preterm infants from birth or soon after, result in a difference in mortality or major disability in survivors by 2 years corrected age (defined as gestational age plus chronological age)?

Comparing Alternative Ranibizumab Dosages for Safety and Efficacy in Retinopathy of Prematurity...

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)

This study is designed as an exploratory study to assess safety and efficacy of two different doses of the anti-VEGF agent ranibizumab (0.12 mg vs. 0.20 mg) in the treatment of infants with retinopathy of prematurity. Furthermore it shall help to improve safety in the treatment of ROP and provide explorative data on long-term effects of ranibizumab after intravitreal injection in neonates. The primary objective is to assess clinical efficacy of ranibizumab in children with ROP

Sucrose Analgesia for the Reduction of Pain During Retinopathy of Prematurity Screening

Retinopathy of Prematurity

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) screening is one of many potentially painful diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed routinely on preterm infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Therefore strategies for stress reduction and pain management are essential to promote growth and development and minimize long-term sequelae. Procedural analgesia should include concepts of developmental care, non nutritive suck (NNS), pharmacological and non-pharmacological agents. Sucrose is thought to stimulate the body's activation of lingual sweet taste receptors and release of endogenous opioids, when combined with NNS, non-opioid mechanisms are also activated. The administration of sucrose or the combination of sucrose and non-nutritive sucking is one of the most frequently studied non-pharmacological interventions for relief of pain in neonates and oral sucrose has been shown to be an effective and safe therapy for common neonatal procedures such as heal lance, blood-letting and venepuncture. There is conflicting evidence on the benefit of sucrose in ROP screening. Therefore the purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of sucrose combined with NNS as a potential regime for reduction of pain associated with retinopathy of prematurity screening.

Efficient Study of ACULAR in Inhibiting Proliferative Retinopathy in Prematurity

Retinopathy of PrematurityRetinal Detachment1 more

The purpose of this study is to test whether ACULAR, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory eye drop medication, can prevent the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and/ or decrease its severity.In this study ACULAR will be compared to a placebo (artificial tear). The hypothesis would be that ACULAR treatment will decrease the incidence of moderate to severe ROP (grade II and above)by 50%.

Inhaled Nitrous Oxide for Pain Relief During Eye Exam in the Pre-term Infant

Retinopathy of Prematurity

The primary objective of the proposed study is to show that inhaled equimolar mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide (EMONO) will reduce pain associated with retinal exam in the preterm infant, as compared to the current standard treatment (oral sucrose and topical anaesthesia). The investigators also aim to show that EMONO can be used safely in preterm neonates undergoing retinal exam, and will not result in any increase in apnea, bradycardia, or desaturation in the 24 hours following the exam. Finally, the investigators aim to show that EMONO will keep the infant calm, and make retinal examination easier and less traumatic.

Hyperbilirubinemia and Retinopathy of Prematurity in Preterm Infants: a Retrospective Study.

ROPJaundice5 more

The goal of this retrospective observational study is to [learn about the correlation between hyperbilirubinemia and retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants. The main question it aims to answer are: • To evaluate the possible effect of neonatal jaundice linked to the presumed protective antioxidant action of bilirubin on the development of ROP, compared to a control group which, although presenting ROP, did not develop jaundice.

Lucentis to Treat Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) 3 Plus Disease

Retinopathy of Prematurity

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a neovascular retinal disorder of premature born children, characterized by the development of retinal neovascularisation, macular dragging and eventually retinal detachment. ROP is a leading cause for childhood blindness, especially in developing countries. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in the development of the disease. Recently, the BEAT ROP study tested the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab for stage 3 plus ROP in a prospective, controlled, randomized, stratified, multicenter trial. Authors found that bevacizumab showed a significant benefit for Zone I but not Zone II disease, with continuation of peripheral retinal vessel growths after treatment. The authors also concluded that safety could not be assessed due to the small sample size. Other authors raised concerns regarding the results of the BEAT ROP study and the safety of bevacizumab. The investigators suspected a better safety profile for ranibizumab to treat stage 3 plus ROP. Here we present the outcome of 6 eyes with ROP stage 3 plus treated with a single injection of ranibizumab.

Inositol to Reduce Retinopathy of Prematurity

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study designed to determine the effectiveness of myo-Inositol 5% Injection to increase the incidence of survival without severe Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) through acute/final ROP determination up to 55 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) in premature infants <28 0/7 weeks' gestation.

Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Intravitreal Aflibercept Compared to Laser...

Retinopathy of Prematurity

The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of aflibercept compared to laser in patients diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The secondary objectives of the study are to assess the need for a second treatment modality, to assess the recurrence of ROP in the study and to assess the safety and tolerability of aflibercept.
