Trial Outcomes & Findings for Curosurf and Survanta Treatment(CAST)of RDS in Very Premature Infants (NCT NCT00767039)

NCT ID: NCT00767039

Last Updated: 2011-10-03

Results Overview

Mean Airway Pressure delivered by mechanical ventilator or nasal CPAP (cm H20) at 48 hours following surfactant administration. A volume cycle ventilator strategy that allowed airway pressure to vary with changes in lung and chest wall compliance was used for mechanically ventilated infants, while inspired oxygen concentration was controlled by the clinical team.

Mean Airway Pressure x Percent Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FIO2) at 48 hours after surfactant administration, delivered by mechanical ventilator or nasal CPAP assesses the components of respiratory support primarily affecting blood oxygenation. This index combines these parameters so that a systematic difference in clinical management of mean airway pressure or FIO2 between groups is not mistaken for a drug effect.

Timeframe: Hemodynamically significant PDA at > 2 days

Population: Patients with clinically and hemodynamically significant Patent Ductus Arteriosus, on evaluation at \>3 days, were tallied

Hemodynamically significant PDA, considered significant by the clinical team and having at least 2 objective echocardiographic signs (PDA \> 1.5 mm diameter, retrograde diastolic flow in the descending aorta, and left atrial enlargement) were tallied. Hemodynamically significant PDA may increase lung water and decrease lung compliance, requiring increased mechanical ventilator support.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: First hour after 2nd surfactant dose

Population: Population was limited to those subjects with PDA's who were treated with a second dose of surfactant, when the subjects were hemodynamically stable enough to yield meaning data.

Maximal changes in blood flow were assessed using Doppler echocardiography following the second surfactant dose of Survanta (beractant) or Curosurf (poractant alfa), to determine whether there was a direct effect of surfactant type on PDA size or pulmonary volume overload through the PDA. The hour interval following the second surfactant dose was selected for study, when the subjects were otherwise clinically stable, not needing additional stabilization procedures.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: One hour following second surfactant dose at 12-24 hours after initial dose

Population: The population analyzed was limited to subjects that received second dose of surfactant and were clinically stable enough to allow Doppler assessment of cerebral blood flow during the first hour following surfactant administration.

Percent change in Anterior Cerebral Artery blood flow velocity following the second dose of beractant, reflects the change in brain blood flow associated with surfactant administration. Blood flow velocity is measured by range gated Doppler ultrasound and brain blood flow changes in proportion to changes in arterial carbon dioxide levels, induced by surfactant administration. Variability in brain blood flow is associated with increased risk for intraventricular hemorrhage.

Timeframe: 36 weeks post menstrual age

Population: Population analyzed was limited to those subjects who survived to \>36 weeks post menstrual age. Subjects with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (continuous supplemental oxygen need at \>36 weeks post menstrual age) were tallied.

Patients with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), had chronic lung disease requiring supplemental oxygen support at \>/= 36 weeks post menstrual age, were tallied. BPD is a chronic lung disease that develops, at least in part, as a consequence of NICU respiratory management of premature infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
