Infasurf Aero™: A single dose of Calfactant administered by pacifier interface by inhalation via the Infasurf Aero nebulizer at 6ml/kg.
Study summary
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of Infasurf® administered through the InfasurfAero™, a novel oral airway delivery device specifically designed to give Infasurf in a less complicated way and without the need for a breathing tube or interrupting nasal respiratory support.

Inclusion Criteria:
Inclusion criteria include ALL of the following:
1. Written informed consent obtained by parent or legal representative prior to or after birth
2. Gestational age at birth ≥ 29 0/7 AND ≤ 35 6/7 weeks
3. Birthweight ≥ 1,000 AND ≤ 3,500 grams
4. Age ≥ 1 hour AND ≤ 6 hours
5. Clinical diagnosis of surfactant-deficient RDS, with EITHER i. a Silverman-Anderson Retraction Score ≥ 5 (in Room Air), OR ii. signs of respiratory distress (tachypnea, retractions, grunting) AND radiographic confirmation
6. Require CPAP
7. Respiratory Severity Score (RSS) ≥ 1.25 AND ≤ 2.4
8. If subject is \>346/7 weeks' gestation a chest radiograph is required
Exclusion Criteria:
Exclusion criteria are ANY of the following:
1. Surfactant administration prior to randomization
2. Mechanical ventilation prior to randomization
3. Major congenital anomaly (suspected or confirmed)
4. Abnormality of the airway (suspected or confirmed)
5. Respiratory distress presumed secondary to an etiology other than RDS (e.g., suspected pulmonary hypoplasia, pneumothorax, meconium aspiration syndrome, pneumonia, septic or hypovolemia shock, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy)
6. Apgar score \< 3 at 5 minutes of age
7. Umbilical cord gas pH \<7.0 or BD \> 10
8. Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would place the neonate at undue risk
Primary outcome measure(s)
CPAP failure and or death — Within 1st week of age CPAP failure is defined as a respiratory severity score (RSS) (MAP x FiO2) \>2.5 on two consecutive assessments at least 30 minutes apart, or an RSS \> 2.4 and one or more of the following:
(i) Silverman-Andersen respiratory severity score (https://www.thecalculator.co/health/Silverman-Score-Calculator-1125.html) of ≥ 5 despite respiratory support.
(ii) Severe apnea (2 or more episodes per hour, or 1 or more episodes requiring manual positive pressure ventilation).
(iii) Respiratory acidosis (pCO2 \> 65 with a pH \< 7.2 on blood gas). RSS will be the primary indicator of CPAP failure. However with the addition of the Silverman-Anderson scores, severe apnea and respiratory acidosis, CPAP failure may occur earlier than solely defined by RSS score.
