NCT ID NCT07251790

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at a new method for removing breathing tubes from very premature babies (born before 32 weeks). Normally, doctors remove the tube first and then put on a gentle breathing mask. The new method puts the mask on first, before removing the tube. Researchers want to see if this helps babies keep their oxygen levels more stable. About 134 babies will take part.

Participants

About 134 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * The infant is admitted to participating NICU * The infant is born between 22+0 to 29+6 weeks gestational age * The infant has been on a form of invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 4 hours * The infant is being electively extubated for the first time from invasive mechanical ventilation to nCPAP * The infant is clinically stable (as per clinical and research team consensus) * The parent(s) or legal guardian(s) provides prospective informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * The infant is born \<22 weeks or \>30 weeks gestational age * The infant has a major congenital anomaly involving the cardiac, respiratory or gastrointestinal systems, or a known genetic syndrome or diagnosis that might affect respiratory course and outcomes * The infant has severe pulmonary hypoplasia due to anhydramnios or oligohydramnios before 22 weeks in which the neonatal clinician anticipates that pulmonary hypoplasia related respiratory failure will be the major respiratory problem in early postnatal life * The infant is receiving invasive mechanical ventilation via nasotracheal intubation * The infant is planned for extubation to any other mode of non-invasive respiratory support than nCPAP, or no respiratory support * Refusal of informed consent from the parent(s), or the infant does not have a guardian who can provide informed consent.
