First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests the safety of an inhaled steroid (ciclesonide) in 30 premature babies who are on breathing machines and at risk for a chronic lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Researchers will monitor side effects like high blood sugar, growth changes, and adrenal function, and measure how much of the drug enters the bloodstream. The goal is to see if this treatment can be safely used to help prevent lung damage in these vulnerable infants.
