Intra-tracheal Instillation of Budesonide to Prevent Chronic Lung Disease (STOPCLD)

October 31, 2022 updated by: University of Arizona

Intra-tracheal Instillation of Budesonide Along With Surfactant in Preterm Infants to Prevent Chronic Lung Disease

Preterm infants are randomized to received either Intra-tracheal instillation of budesonide using surfactant as vehicle or a placebo. Intra-tracheal instillation of budesonide using surfactant as vehicle would facilitate its delivery to the periphery of the lung and would inhibit lung inflammation and mitigate acute lung injury.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In extremely premature infants who are ventilated there is ongoing lung injury & lung inflammation. This can perpetuate the need for ongoing ventilation and these infants spend much longer in the hospital. The likelihood of chronic lung disease in this susceptible group is very high and they would need oxygen at home. Surfactant instillation has reduced the need for prolonged mechanical ventilation and to an extent the incidence of chronic lung disease (CLD). But many infants develop CLD and need prolonged oxygen treatment, diuretics and inhaled steroids to suppress the inflammation and obstruction of the airways. Some of the severely affected infants need orally administered steroids. The Inestigators propose to provide a dose of steroids instilled along with the surfactant in the very first day of life so as to prevent the vicious and ongoing cascade of lung injury and inflammation. As it is a poorly absorbed steroid and as only one or two doses is proposed to be used there is no effects within the body and it works locally within the lung. This is hoped to reduce CLD and improve long term outcomes. The population most susceptible to CLD is the extreme preterm infant with RDS who needs mechanical ventilation soon after birth. One of the groups will receive the surfactant with saline and the other group will receive the surfactant along with topical steroid. The groups will be followed during the hospital stay. survival along with duration of ventilation, duration of hospital stay and oxygen needs are noted. To study the hoped for long term benefits the investigators would note the long term neuro-development - if they were followed as per hospital policy between 18 months and 26 months. Intra-tracheal instillation of budesonide using surfactant as vehicle would facilitate its delivery to the periphery of the lung and would inhibit lung inflammation.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 3 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
