Can a shorter steroid course save preemie lungs?
NCT ID NCT07052201
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two different ways of giving the steroid dexamethasone to very premature babies (born before 30 weeks) who have been on a breathing machine for at least two weeks. The goal is to see which treatment better prevents a serious lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or death. About 970 babies will be randomly assigned to either a 10-day lower-dose regimen or a 7-day higher-dose regimen, and researchers will track their breathing progress and long-term development.
