OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Pulmonary Hypertension Hypoxic Respiratory Failure

Summary

This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter Phase IV clinical study to evaluate the safety of INOmax for the treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure with pulmonary hypertension in newborns (≥ 34 weeks gestational age). To evaluate the safety of INOmax combined with ventilatory support in the treatment of neonatal (≥ 34 weeks gestational age) hypoxic respiratory failure with pulmonary hypertension.

Eligibility

Max Age: 7 Days

Inclusion Criteria5

Neonates ≥ 34 weeks gestation age.
Hypoxic respiratory failure requiring more than 24 hours of ventilatory support.
Clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension (systolic pulmonary arterial pressure \[sPAP\] \> 35 mm Hg or \> 2/3 systemic blood pressure \[SBP\] or there is a right-to-left shunt at the atrium or arterial ductus).
Age less than 7 days at the time of treatment initiation with study drug.
The neonatal guardian agrees to participate in the study and signs an informed consent form (ICF).

Exclusion Criteria16

Neonates dependent on right-to-left shunting of blood.
Neonates whose mother has been treated with anticoagulant therapies during pregnancy.
Echocardiography confirmed left-to-right shunt or left ventricular dysfunction.
ECMO is urgently needed, or neonate has received ECMO.
Patient is at risk of imminent death (death expected within 24 hours).
Life-threatening abnormality (cranial, cardiac, thoracic).
Chromosomal abnormality.
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia
Congenital heart defect (other than patent ductus arteriosus or small atrial septal defect).
Neonate has been resuscitated requiring chest compressions within 6 hours of study treatment start.
Significant bleeding diathesis such as grade IV intraventricular hemorrhage or periventricular leukomalacia, pulmonary hemorrhage, uncontrolled bleeding or hemodynamic failure.
Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy.
Active seizures while receiving anticonvulsants.
Experienced prolong asphyxia with evidence of severe acidosis (pH\<7.25)
Receiving nitric oxide donor agents such as prilocaine, sodium nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, and sulfonamides.
Other subjects determined by the investigator to be unsuitable for inclusion.

Interventions

DRUGInhaled nitric oxide (NO)

The starting dose of INOmax is 20 ppm, which is controlled by the INOmax DSIR Plus delivery system in the respiratory circuit during mechanical ventilation. The dose will be maintained at 20 ppm for 4 hours after the start of administration, then the dose can be weaned to 5 ppm provided that the arterial oxygenation is adequate, as determined by the investigator within 4-24 hours of therapy, and the therapy should be maintained at 5 ppm until the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) \< 0.60. The treatment will be maintained until the potential hypoxia is resolved, or the investigator determines that the neonate no longer needs to use this drug. The maintenance treatment time is usually less than 4 days (96 hours). If the oxygenation level has not improved significantly after 4 days of maintenance treatment, the suitability of the treatment plan should be reassessed.
