Compares treatment options for Ductus Arteriosus, Patent
Official title Percutaneous Intervention Versus Observational Trial of Arterial Ductus in Low Weight Infants
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05547165
What this study is testing
What is Responsive Management Intervention?
Responsive Management Intervention is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for ductus arteriosus, patent.
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
- Patent Ductus Arteriosus is a developmental condition commonly observed among preterm infants. It is a condition where the opening between the two major blood vessels leading from the heart fail to close after birth.
- Which group you join is decided by chance.

- Admitted to a study NICU
- Birth weight ≥700-grams
- Mechanically ventilated at time of consent and randomization
- HSPDA ("PDA Score" ≥6) noted on echocardiogram (ECHO)
- Randomization is able to be performed within 5 days of the qualifying ECHO and when infant is 7-32 days postnatal
- Clinical Exclusion Criteria
- Life-threatening congenital defects (including congenital heart disease such as aortic coarctation or pulmonary artery stenosis). PDA and small atrial/ventricular septal defects are permitted;
- Congenital lung abnormalities, (e.g. restrictive lung disease);
- Pharyngeal or airway anomalies (tracheal stenosis, choanal atresia);
- Treatment for acute abdominal process (e.g., necrotizing enterocolitis);
- Infants with planned surgery;
- Active infection requiring treatment;
- Chromosomal defects (e.g., Trisomy 18);
- Neuromuscular disorders;
- Infants whose parents have chosen to allow natural death (do not resuscitate order) or for whom limitation of intensive care treatment is being considered (e.g. severe intraventricular hemorrhage)
- Physician deems that the infant would not be a Percutaneous PDA Closure candidate due to clinical instability; however, if the infant's clinical status improves before 30-days postnatal and all inclusion criteria are...
- Pulmonary hypertension (defined by ductal right to left shunting for \>33% of the cardiac cycle) in which early PDA closure may increase right ventricular afterload and compromise pulmonary and systemic blood flow;
- Evidence of cardiac thrombus that might interfere with device placement;
- PDA diameter larger than 4 mm at the narrowest portion (consistent with FDA-approved instructions for Piccolo™ device use).
- PDA length smaller than 3 mm (consistent with FDA-approved instructions for Piccolo™ device use).
- PDA that does not meet inclusion requirements ("PDA Score" \<6).\ \ If a potential participant is found to have a PDA meeting eligibility requirements on a subsequent ECHO during the required period of 7 - 30 postnatal...
