Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter Phase IV clinical study to evaluate the safety of INOmax for the treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure with pulmonary hypertension in newborns (≥ 34 weeks gestational age). To evaluate the safety of INOmax combined with ventilatory support in the treatment of neonatal (≥ 34 weeks gestational age) hypoxic respiratory failure with pulmonary hypertension.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study treatment will be administered in ventilated newborn infants expected to require support \> 24 hours, after respiratory support has been optimized. This includes optimizing tidal volume/pressures and lung recruitment (surfactant, high frequency ventilation, and positive end expiratory pressure).

The administration of the study drug will be supervised by a physician investigator experienced in neonatal intensive care and used in clinics where neonatal artificial ventilation as well as rescue and resuscitation are available.

The starting dose of INOmax is 20 ppm, which is controlled by the INOmax DSIR Plus delivery system in the respiratory circuit during mechanical ventilation. The dose will be maintained at 20 ppm for 4 hours after the start of administration, then the dose can be weaned to 5 ppm provided that the arterial oxygenation is adequate, as determined by the investigator within 4-24 hours of therapy, and the therapy should be maintained at 5 ppm until the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) \< 0.60.

The treatment will be maintained until the potential hypoxia is resolved, or the investigator determines that the neonate no longer needs to use this drug. The maintenance treatment time is usually less than 4 days (96 hours). If the oxygenation level has not improved significantly after 4 days of maintenance treatment, the suitability of the treatment plan should be reassessed. If it is necessary to continue using this drug after evaluation by the investigator, the maximum administration time should not exceed 14 days.

Doses greater than 20 ppm are not allowed. Monitoring

1. Measure methemoglobin within 4-8 hours after initiation of treatment with INOmax and periodically throughout treatment.
2. Prior to INOmax treatment, appropriate procedures must be followed to purify the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) system so that the NO2 concentration should always be less than 0.5 ppm and maintained as low as possible, if NO2 is greater than 0.5 ppm, the delivery system will be assessed for failure, the NO2 analyzer will be recalibrated, and the dose and/or FiO2 will be reduced appropriately.
3. Monitor for inspired NO2 during INOmax administration.
