Brief Summary:
This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lucinactant for inhalation, administered as an aerosol in up to four escalating doses to preterm neonates 26 to 28 weeks gestational age who are receiving nCPAP for RDS compared to neonates receiving nCPAP alone.
Detailed Description:
This study was a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label, dose-escalation study, conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lucinactant for inhalation in conjunction with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in comparison with nCPAP alone. The study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lucinactant for inhalation, administered as an aerosol in 4 escalating doses.
For this study, lucinactant for inhalation refers to the active investigational agent, lyophilized lucinactant, in combination with the prototype investigational delivery device. Reconstituted lyophilized lucinactant was aerosolized by the investigational device and introduced into the nCPAP circuit. Those randomized to the control arm continued to receive nCPAP alone. Dose assignments were unblinded, as the primary objective of this study was safety and tolerability.
Preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) between 26 and 28 completed weeks PMA who were within the first 20 hours after birth and who had successful implementation of controlled nCPAP within 90 minutes of birth were considered to be potential subjects. Before study enrollment, legal guardians were provided a written informed consent form (ICF) for each potential subject.
