Surfactant for preterm babies born before 28 weeks
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests giving surfactant through a thin tube into the windpipe right after birth for babies born before 28 weeks. It aims to help their lungs work better and reduce breathing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born before 28 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your doctors plan to give supportive care in the intensive care unit.
- You must give permission for your baby to join the trial before birth.
- Your baby does not have serious birth defects affecting the lungs, heart, or other major organs.

This trial uses a lung ultrasound score, a type of ultrasound, to decide when to give surfactant (a medicine that helps lungs work) to premature babies born between 27 and 35 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to reduce the need for more breathing support and avoid side effects.
This trial tests whether giving surfactant (a substance that helps lungs stay open) to premature babies with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) through a mask on the throat (supraglottic airway) is safe and effective. It may be an option for babies who need extra oxygen but are not on a breathing tube.
This study looks at different ways doctors give a life-saving medication called surfactant to premature babies who are struggling to breathe. Researchers want to understand which delivery methods work best and help improve care.
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.
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 study compares two ways of giving surfactant (a natural substance that helps lungs stay open) to premature babies who need extra breathing support. It aims to find which method works better and is safer for infants born at 29 to 36 weeks.
