Safety of Furosemide in Premature Infants at Risk of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)

Brief Title

Safety of Furosemide in Premature Infants at Risk of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)

Official Title

Safety of Furosemide in Premature Infants at Risk of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Brief Summary

      This study will describe the safety of furosemide in premature infants at risk of
      bronchopulmonary dysplasia and determine the preliminary effectiveness and pharmacokinetics
      (PK) of furosemide. Funding Source - FDA OOPD
    

Detailed Description

      Infants will receive a placebo or furosemide for 28 days. Blood samples will be collected for
      pharmacokinetic analysis.Premature infants will be randomized to receive placebo or
      furosemide in a dose escalating approach.

      Follow up information will be collected up to 7 days after the last dose and at 36 weeks post
      menstrual age. The final study assessment will occur at the time of discharge, early
      termination or transfer.
