---|---|---|
Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Premature Infant | Drug: AeroFact Other: nCPAP | Phase 2 |
Part I Primary Objective To determine an optimal dose of AeroFact administered by nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) versus stand of care in reducing the rate of intubation/cannulation and bolus surfactant instillation in the first 7 days after birth.

- Incidence of intubation/cannulation and instilled surfactant [ Time Frame: 7 days ]Number of patients who require intubation/cannulation with bolus surfactant instillation
- Percent of patients with respiratory symptoms requiring intervention across groups [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Comparison of respiratory symptoms (Asthma/URI) and respiratory medications between groups
- Percent of patients requiring supplemental oxygen and visits for medical care (Doctor's office/ER/Hospitalization) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Assess need for supplemental oxygen and other respiratory support and visits to physician office/ER/hospitalizations between groups
- Percent of patients requiring repeat surfactant dosing between groups [ Time Frame: 7 days ]Assess the need for more than one dose of surfactant between groups
