STOPCLD Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether using budesonide to treat preterm infants' lungs will help reduce inflammation and lung injury.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for preterm infants born before 30 weeks of gestation or weighing less than 1500 grams, who are experiencing severe respiratory distress syndrome. Infants must require mechanical ventilation and have specific clinical and radiologic signs. Those with major birth defects, chromosomal abnormalities, heart disease, conditions requiring imminent extubation, pneumothorax, surgical diseases or severe infections cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether intra-tracheal budesonide can prevent chronic lung disease in premature infants with acute lung injury. Infants will be randomly assigned to receive either a combination of surfactant and budesonide directly into the trachea or a placebo saline solution.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from budesonide may include irritation at the administration site within the trachea, possible hormonal imbalances due to steroid exposure (though rare), and an increased risk of infection due to immune system suppression.
