About this trial

The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational drug can prevent Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, reducing the burden of chronic lung disease in extremely premature infants, as compared to extremely premature infants receiving standard neonatal care alone.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Written informed consents and/or assents must be signed and dated by the participant's parent(s) prior to any study related procedures. The informed consent and any assents for underage parents must be approved by the IRB/IEC (in accordance with local regulations).

Written informed consents and/or assents must be signed and dated by the participant's birth mother prior to providing study-related information related to birth mother medical history, pregnancy and the birth of the participant. The informed consent and any assents for underage birth mothers must be approved by the IRB/IEC (in accordance with local regulations).

Subjects must be between 23 weeks +0 days and 27 weeks +6 days GA, inclusive.

Disqualifiers

Detectable major (or severe) congenital malformation identified before randomization.

Known or suspected chromosomal abnormality, genetic disorder, or syndrome, identified before randomization, according to the investigator's opinion.

Hypoglycemia at Baseline (blood glucose less than (<) 45 milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL] or 2.5 milli moles per liter [mmol/L]) which persists in spite of glucose supplementation, to exclude severe congenital abnormalities of glucose metabolism.

Clinically significant neurological disease identified before randomization according to cranial ultrasound (hemorrhages confined to the germinal matrix are allowed) and investigator's opinion.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Reduction in the incidence of severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks (±3 days) Postmenstrual Age (PMA), or death at or before 36 weeks PMA, whichever comes first as compared to the SNC group.

Severe BPD is defined by the modified NICHD severity grading

Time frame
Baseline through 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA)

Secondary outcomes

1

Reducing the burden of Chronic Lung Disease, as indicated by a reduction in time to final weaning off of Respiratory Technology Support (RTS) through 12 months Corrected Age (CA), as compared to the SNC group.

The final weaning off of RTS is defined as the 7th consecutive day that the subject is off RTS.

Time frame
Baseline through 12 months CA
2

Reduction in the incidence of severe BPD at 36 weeks (±3 days) PMA, or death at or before 36 weeks PMA, whichever comes first as compared to the SNC group.

Severe BPD is defined based on the classification according to Jensen et al., 2019

Time frame
Time Frame: Baseline through 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA)
3

Occurrence of severe (Grade 3 and 4) intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) before 40 weeks PMA, as assessed by cranial ultrasound as compared to the SNC group

Severe IVH as classified according to the Volpe criteria

Time frame
Baseline through 40 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA)
4

To assess the effect of OHB-607 on occurrence of severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) (Stage 3 and above) up to 40 weeks PMA as compared to the SNC group

Time frame
Baseline through 40 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA)
