Giving surfactant through a thin tube in late preterm babies
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a less invasive way to give surfactant (a lung treatment) to babies born a few weeks early who need breathing help. It aims to see if this method works as well as standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Has trouble breathing, needing extra oxygen or working hard to breathe
- Less than 24 hours old when enrolled
- Does not need a breathing tube at birth

This trial tests two ways of giving surfactant (a lung medicine) to very premature babies with respiratory distress syndrome. It may help show which method works better and is safer for helping newborn lungs breathe.
This trial compares a new method of giving surfactant (a substance that helps babies' lungs work better) to preterm infants who have breathing problems. The goal is to see if giving surfactant through a thin tube without a breathing tube works as well as the usual method.
This study tests whether giving a pre-medication before a less invasive lung treatment (surfactant) improves breathing in premature babies. It may help some babies avoid more invasive ventilation while still getting the lung medication they need.
This trial looks at giving a “surfactant” medicine (a substance that helps keep baby lungs open) to newborns who have serious breathing problems soon after birth. It may help babies with neonatal respiratory distress or acute breathing distress, especially if they’re treated in the early time window.
This study tests a new medicine called APC-0101, a type of surfactant, for premature babies with breathing problems (respiratory distress syndrome). It may help their lungs work better and reduce the need for more breathing support.
This study compares two methods—video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy—to give surfactant (a medicine that helps babies' lungs work better) to very premature infants. It aims to find which method is safer and easier for babies born at 28 weeks or earlier who need surfactant within the first 36 hours after birth.
