Brief Summary:
This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lucinactant for inhalation, administered as an aerosol in up to four escalating doses to preterm neonates 26 to 28 weeks gestational age who are receiving nCPAP for RDS compared to neonates receiving nCPAP alone.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Respiratory Distress Syndrome Combination Product: Lucinactant for inhalation Device: nCPAP alone Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This study was a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label, dose-escalation study, conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lucinactant for inhalation in conjunction with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in comparison with nCPAP alone. The study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lucinactant for inhalation, administered as an aerosol in 4 escalating doses.

For this study, lucinactant for inhalation refers to the active investigational agent, lyophilized lucinactant, in combination with the prototype investigational delivery device. Reconstituted lyophilized lucinactant was aerosolized by the investigational device and introduced into the nCPAP circuit. Those randomized to the control arm continued to receive nCPAP alone. Dose assignments were unblinded, as the primary objective of this study was safety and tolerability.

Preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) between 26 and 28 completed weeks PMA who were within the first 20 hours after birth and who had successful implementation of controlled nCPAP within 90 minutes of birth were considered to be potential subjects. Before study enrollment, legal guardians were provided a written informed consent form (ICF) for each potential subject.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants With Peri-Dosing Adverse Events - Initial Dose [ Time Frame: Randomization to 24 Hours Post Randomization ]
    Number of Participants with adverse events that were experienced during the initial study treatment

  2. Number of Participants With Air Leak [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
    Number of participants with air leak (includes pneumothorax, pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE), pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium, subcutaneous emphysema)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants With Worsening of Respiratory Status Criteria [ Time Frame: Randomization to 72 Hours Post Randomization ]
    Number of participants with worsening in one of 12 respiratory status criteria through 72 hours post randomization (need for additional surfactant therapy, desaturation < 80%, heart rate < 100 bpm, sustained fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) > 0.50, arterial carbon dioxide (PCO2) > 65 mmHg, sustained apnea, persistent arterial pH < 7.2, intubation for any reason, nCPAP > 7 cmH2O, initiation of intermittent positive pressure ventilation, death, principal investigator determination of worsening status)

  2. Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia [ Time Frame: Randomization to 36 weeks PMA ]
    Number of participants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and number of participants alive and without BPD at 36 weeks post-menstrual age (PMA)

  3. Number of Participants With Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (nCPAP) Failure [ Time Frame: Randomization to 72 Hours Post Randomization ]
    Participants who required intubation for mechanical ventilation or surfactant administration were defined as having failed nCPAP

  4. Death [ Time Frame: Randomization to 36 weeks PMA ]
    Number of participants who died during the study

  5. FiO2 [ Time Frame: Randomization to 72 hours post randomization ]
    Observed and change from baseline measurements for fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2). Values represent the amount (fraction) of oxygen in the air the participant inspires; the values themselves do not have units. The normal amount of oxygen in air ("room air") is 21%, or 0.21.

  6. Number of Participants With Complications of Prematurity [ Time Frame: Randomization to 36 weeks PMA ]
    Number of participants with pre-specified common complications of prematurity.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. nCPAP Failure Without Treatment Interruptions [ Time Frame: Randomization to 72 Hours Post Randomization ]
    Number of subjects requiring mechanical ventilation or surfactant administration (nCPAP failure) but did not have a treatment interruption
