Pediatric Clinical Trials
Inositol to Reduce Retinopathy of Prematurity
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study designed to determine the effectiveness of myo-Inositol 5% Injection to increase the incidence of survival without severe Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) through acute/final ROP determination up to 55 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) in premature infants <28 0/7 weeks' gestation.
Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.
Intervention(s):
- drug: Placebo
- drug: myo-Inositol 5% Injection
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Inborn or out born infants of either gender or any race with best obstetrical estimate
of gestation <28 weeks (27 6/7 weeks and younger). Gestational age will be determined
by best obstetrical estimate using the hierarchy of best obstetrical estimate using
early ultrasound dating, maternal menstrual dating confirmed by examination, or
neonatal gestational age assessment by physical examination.
- Alive at 12 hours.
- Age in hours up to 72 hours, although we will seek enrollment as early as feasible
after consent and 12 hours.
- Informed consent signed and dated by parent and/or guardian, which includes likelihood
of completing follow-up ophthalmic examinations as an outpatient, and long-term
follow-up.
Exclusion Criteria
- Major congenital malformations
