Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase III Randomized Study of Lucinactant in Full Term Newborn Infants With Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (NCT NCT00004500)

NCT ID: NCT00004500

Last Updated: 2012-05-03

Results Overview

A patient is not receiving MV if he/she is removed from the mechanical ventilator for ≥ 24 hours. If a patient subsequently requires intubation and MV, the additional time will count as days receiving MV.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 28 days

Population: Data from the initial Phase 1/2 trial were used to estimate the number of subjects required for testing the null hypothesis of no difference between treatment groups. A sample size of 100 subjects per group is required to test the hypothesis at a significance level of 0.05 with a power of 80%. All enrolled infants were analyzed (intent-to-treat).

A patient is not receiving MV if he/she is removed from the mechanical ventilator for ≥ 24 hours. If a patient subsequently requires intubation and MV, the additional time will count as days receiving MV.
