NCT ID NCT06554522
First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study tests if giving surfactant (a natural substance that helps lungs stay open) through a less invasive method helps premature babies with breathing problems survive. About 1,500 babies weighing 1.5 to 4.4 pounds will receive this treatment in African hospitals that lack breathing machines. Researchers will track survival and complications to see if this simpler approach works better than standard care.
