New nasal device could ease breathing for preemies
NCT ID NCT03171129
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a new device called ADINA to standard high-flow nasal cannula for giving oxygen to premature babies with breathing distress. About 40 babies in the NICU will take part. The goal is to see if ADINA works as well as the usual method and to check for safety issues like lung collapse.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Adaptive Dynamic Inspiratory Nasal Apparatus (ADINA) device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simpler, pressure-limited oxygen delivery option for premature babies with breathing problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 40 babies, so results may not apply broadly. There is a risk of pneumothorax (collapsed lung) as with any oxygen therapy.
