A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label, Controlled Trial To Assess The Safety And Tolerability Of Lucinactant For Inhalation In Preterm Neonates 26 to 28 Weeks PMA

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of
lucinactant for inhalation, administered as an aerosolized dose in up to four escalating
doses to preterm neonates 26 to 28 weeks gestational age who are receiving nasal continuous
positive airway pressure (nCPAP) for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) compared to
neonates receiving nCPAP alone.


Inclusion Criteria:

1. Informed consent from a legally authorized representative.

2. Gestational age 26 to 28 completed weeks post menstrual age (PMA).

3. Successful implementation of controlled nCPAP within 90 minutes after birth.

4. Spontaneous breathing.

5. Chest radiograph consistent with RDS.

6. Need for moderate levels of supplemental oxygen and nCPAP to maintain oxygen
saturation of 88% to 95% for at least 30 minutes within the first 20 hours after
birth.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Heart rate that cannot be stabilized above 100 beats/minute within 5 minutes of
birth.

2. Recurrent episodes of apnea occurring after the initial newborn resuscitation period
(ie, 10 minutes after birth) requiring intermittent positive pressure breaths using
inflating pressures above the set CPAP pressure administered manually or mechanically
through any patient interface.

3. A 5 minute Apgar score < 5.

4. Major congenital malformation(s) and cranial/facial abnormalities that preclude
nCPAP, diagnosed antenatally or immediately after birth.

5. Other diseases or conditions potentially interfering with cardiopulmonary function
(eg, hydrops fetalis or congenital infection such as TORCH).

6. Known or suspected chromosomal abnormality or syndrome.

7. Prolong rupture of membranes (PROM) > 2 weeks.

8. Evidence of hemodynamic instability requiring vasopressors or steroids for
hemodynamic support and/or presumed clinical sepsis.

9. Need for endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation.

10. Has been administered: another investigational agent or exposure to an
investigational medical device, any other surfactant agent, steroid treatment after
birth.
