Clinical Trials

Management of the Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Premature Infants Trial (PDA Trial)

Lead Researcher: Carl T D'angio

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is an extra blood vessel found in babies before birth and just after birth. In most babies who have an otherwise normal heart, the PDA will shrink and close on its own in the first few days of life. If it stays open longer, it may cause extra blood to flow to the lungs. This study estimates the risks and benefits of active treatment versus expectant management of premature babies with patent ductus arteriosus.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Effect Of Hydrocortisone on Survival Without Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia and on Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at 22 - 26 Months of Age in Intubated Infants < 30 Weeks Gestation Age

Lead Researcher: Carl T D'angio

The Hydrocortisone and Extubation study will test if giving hydrocortisone for 10 days improves survival for premature infants who have a breathing tube. Infants will either receive hydrocortisone or placebo.
