Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Pharmacodynamic

To determine the minimum effective dose of dobutamine required to treat low SVC flow (<51 ml/k/min) in very preterm infants (short- term pharmacodynamic (PD) objective).

Secondary objectives 3

  1. To assess the proportion of infants who maintain an acceptable haemodynamic status with the dobutamine infusion alone in the first 72h from birth (efficacy)
  2. To evaluate the safety of dobutamine for the whole study population as well as for the seven treatment groups separately
  3. To determine the individual variables that explain the interindividual pharmacokinetic (PK)/PD variability.

1 Phase I-II, Single centre, dose finding trial to establish the minimum effective dose of dobutamine
Single centre, dose finding trial to establish the minimum effective dose of dobutamine required to treat haemodynamic insufficiency, defined as low superior vena cava (SVC) flow, in infants below 33 weeks’ gestation during transitional circulation (first 72 hours from birth). It is a low-intervention clinical trial.
Randomised Controlled None ARM A: 5 mcg/kg/min dobutamine intravenous.
ARM B: 7,5 mcg/kg/min cobutamine intravenous.
ARM C: 10 mcg/kg/min cobutamine intravenous.
ARM D: 12,5 mcg/kg/min cobutamine intravenous.
ARM E: 15 mcg/kg/min cobutamine intravenous.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 3

  1. Born up to 32(+6) weeks gestation
  2. Presence of haemodynamic insufficiency, defined as SVC flow <51 ml/kg/min.
  3. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form by father/mother or legally designated representative, which can be given antenatally as described in section 5.4.

Exclusion criteria 6

  1. Neonates considered non-viable, with a clinical decision not to provide life support
  2. Infants with severe congenital hydrops fetalis needing chest or peritoneal drainage before recruitment
  3. Infants already on dobutamine treatment
  4. Infants with congenital malformations likely to affect cardiovascular adaptation (including: congenital diaphragmatic hernia, gastroschisis or congenital heart defects).
  5. Infants carrying chromosomal anomalies
  6. Lack of parental signed informed consent

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Short-term PD endpoint: Minimum dobutamine dose to reach and maintain an SVC flow above 55 ml/k/min on an echocardiogram performed at 1 and 3 hours after effective infusion of the allocated dose [A].

Secondary endpoints 3

  1. Proportion of neonates achieving and maintaining a clinically acceptable haemodynamic status [B] with the dobutamine infusion alone in the first 72 hours from birth.
  2. Absolute and relative frequencies of adverse events (AEs) and severe adverse events (SAEs), to be recorded and compared between groups
  3. To determine the correlation between PK and PD.
