Active TreatmentExpectant Management

Active Treatment: Infants assigned to the active treatment group will receive indomethacin or ibuprofen per their local site usual care dosing and schedule if the infant has a sPDA. The choice of indomethacin or ibuprofen will be left to the center, however, infants may only receive one or the other. If the infant receives both, it will be considered a protocol violation.

Expectant Management: Infants assigned to the expectant management group will receive indomethacin or ibuprofen if cardiopulmonary compromise occurs.

Study summary

Inclusion Criteria: * Postnatal age 48 hours -21 days * Infant 22 0/7 to 28 6/7 weeks gestation at birth * sPDA, as defined as: 1. Mild, Moderate, or Severe Clinical Criteria with Small or Moderate size PDA on echocardiogram 2. Mild or Moderate Clinical Criteria with Large PDA on echocardiogram Exclusion Criteria: * Cardiopulmonary compromise * Known congenital heart disease (besides atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect) * Known pulmonary malformation (e.g. congenital lobar emphysema, congenital pulmonary adenomatous malformation) * Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude enrollment

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Death or Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) at 36 Weeks PMA — Randomization to 36 weeks PMA
    A composite outcome for infants who were diagnosed with physiologic bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or died by 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA). Physiologic BPD is determined using existing Neonatal Research Network Generic Database criteria at 36 weeks PMA. Infants alive an in hospital are classified based on respiratory status at 36 weeks PMA or by a room air weaning challenge performed between 36 and 37 weeks PMA. Infants who are transferred or discharged before 36 weeks are classified based on the support they are receiving at that time. Infants who died before 36 weeks PMA are not assessed for BPD. Deaths include all-cause deaths between randomization and 36 weeks PMA.
