Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial of Inhaled PGE1 in Neonates With Sub-Optimal Response to Inhaled Nitric Oxide
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Aerosolized Normal Saline and Inhaled PGE1 for Prematurity and 3 related conditions. Terminated early, enrolled 7 participants across 11 sites.

Detailed Summary
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the use of Inhaled prostaglandin E1 (IPGE1) in Neonatal Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (NHRF). Fifty patients recruited at 10 high volume sites within the NICHD Neonatal Research Network will constitute a pilot sample to evaluate the feasibility and safety of prolonged IPGE1 administration and determination of optimal dose. In this Pilot RCT, two doses of IPGE1 (300 and 150 ng/kg/min) will be administered over a maximum duration of 72 hours and compared with placebo. Once feasibility and safety of IPGE1 administered over 72 hours has been demonstrated in the pilot trial, a full scale randomized controlled trial will be planned.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Two initial doses of IPGE1 will be tested - 150 and 300 ng/kg/min. Thus, there will be three arms to the study - IPGE1 \[150\], IPGE1 \[300\], and placebo (normal saline). This design will allow comparison of the two doses of IPGE1 with each other and controls; and also allow comparison of any IPGE1 with controls. Placebo will be administered over a maximum duration of 72 hours.
