Study information

Study designProspective, interventional, randomised controlled multicentre trial
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study acronymAMV
Study objectivesThe primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the treatment of preterm infants with intratracheal instillation of surfactant shortly before an expected intubation is able to reduce the frequency of mechanical ventilation.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee (Ethikkommission der medizinischen Fakultat der Universitat Lubeck) on the 3rd July 2007 (ref: 07-037).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedRespiratory distress syndrome of preterm infants
InterventionPlease note that as of 25/08/10 the patient enrollment phase of this trial has been completed.

Intervention:
Surfactant is given at a dose of 100 mg surfactant per kg body weight via a thin gastric tube into the trachea of the spontaneously breathing infants. Surfactant without intubation will be given as a single dose at the first day of life. Repeated surfactant treatment without intubation is possible until the third day of life.

Control group:
Standard care.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Surfactant
Primary outcome measureThe primary outcome is a combined parameter which is measured between the 25th and 72nd hour of life (day 2 and 3 of life). The primary endpoint is positive if an infant is:
1. Intubated and ventilated between the 25th and the 72nd hour of life
2. Fraction of inspired Oxygen (FiO2) is greater than 0.6 for more than two hours between the 25th and the 72nd hour of life (to keep oxygen saturation above 85%)
3. Partial pressure of Carbon Dioxide (pCO2) greater than 65 mmHg for more than two hours between the 25th and 72nd hour of life
Secondary outcome measures1. Ventilation rate
2. Intraventricular Haemorrhage (IVH)
3. Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL)
4. Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)
5. Death
6. Operation due to retinopathy (Retinopathy Of Prematurity [ROP])
7. Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
8. Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC)
9. Intestinal perforation
10. Hydrocephalus and ventricular-peritoneal-shunt
11. Number of surfactant doses
12. Total surfactant (mg/kg bodyweight)
13. Days on assisted ventilation
14. Days on supplemental oxygen
15. Duration of hospitalisation
16. Weight gain per day
17. Pneumothorax
18. Other complications of prematurity

All outcomes will be measured until discharge. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia will be assessed at 36 weeks + 0 days (+/- 5 days) of corrected gestational age.
