New hope for tiny lungs: gentler treatment tested to save premature babies

NCT ID NCT06554522

Recruiting now Disease control Sponsor: Indiana University Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study is testing if a lung medication called surfactant, given using a gentler method that doesn't require a breathing machine, can help more premature babies survive breathing problems in African hospitals. It will involve over 1,500 premature infants with breathing difficulties. Researchers will compare babies who receive this gentler treatment to those who get the current standard care to see if it improves survival rates.
