Scientific titleThe role of inhaled corticosteroids in children with chronic lung disease of Infancy
Study objectivesThe aim of the study is to study the effect of inhaled steroids on school-aged children with chronic lung disease (CLD). The study hypothesis is that inhaled corticosteroids, Beclomethasone Dipropionate will improve respiratory system resistance after 6 weeks of treatment.
Ethics approval(s)This study was approved by the conjoint Health Research Ethics Board and Child Health Research Committee at the University of Calgary, Alberta (Canada).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic lung disease of infancy or bronchopulmonary dysplasia
InterventionChildren will receive inhaled corticosteroids or placebo for 6 weeks, pulmonary function either forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) or impulse oscillometry and quality of life will be assessed before and after the intervention.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Beclomethasone Dipropionate
Primary outcome measureImprovement in respiratory system resistance at 5 Hz frequency using impulse oscillometry after 6 weeks of inhaled corticosteroids in CLD.
Secondary outcome measuresImprovement in quality of life system score using Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ) and FEV1 response to bronchodilators (Salbutamol) after inhaled corticosteroids treatment for 6 weeks in CLD.

Key inclusion criteria1. 3 - 7 year old children with history of chronic lung disease of infancy
2. Premature birth at 36 weeks gestation or less
3. Clinical and radiological diagnosis of CLD. Patient charts will be reviewed and the x-rays will be reviewed, even if there is no x-ray findings patients will be included if they fulfil the other criteria.
4. Requirement of supplemental oxygen to maintain saturation of 90%, for at least 36 weeks corrected gestation
Key exclusion criteria1. Cardiovascular disease other than patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
2. Those with severe neurological disease or developmental delay
3. Oxygen requirement for respiratory diagnosis other than CLD, e.g., congenital diaphragmatic hernia and aspiration
4. An inability to perform spirometry or impulse oscillometry (IOS)
5. Noncompliance with therapy
6. Pneumonia
