Recruiting PHASE4 Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

New treatment option for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Official title De-implementing Inhaled Nitric Oxide for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05213676

What this study is testing

What is Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) use?

Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) use is an investigational medicine, given as an inhaled treatment, being studied as a potential treatment for congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The purpose of this study is to determine if de-implementation of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in the post-natal resuscitation/stabilization phase affects the composite outcome of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) use and/or mortality, as well as ECLS use, mortality, and/or oxygenation in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) newborns and to establish the cost-effectiveness of de-implementing iNO as a therapy in the postnatal resuscitation/stabilization phase of CDH management, which will be assessed as the incremental health system costs (savings) per prevented ECLS use and/or death.
