Could extended CPAP save preterm Babies' lungs?
NCT ID NCT07417111
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether keeping very preterm babies on CPAP (a breathing machine) until 34 weeks after conception, instead of switching to a nasal cannula, reduces their risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (a chronic lung disease) or death. About 860 infants born before 29 weeks will be enrolled. The goal is to see if longer CPAP support leads to better lung outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that keeping very preterm babies on CPAP longer helps prevent a serious lung disease called bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
What could go wrong
This is a large trial but still early in testing. The results may not apply to all preterm infants, and CPAP can cause discomfort or nasal injury.
