Official Title: A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety of Perflurooctylbromide (PFOB) Partial Liquid Ventilation (PLV) for Up to 10 Days in Neonates With Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (

Brief Summary: The primary study objective is to assess the safety and feasibility of PFOB as a liquid breathing medium for up to ten days in subjects with severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD).

Detailed Summary: The primary study objective is to assess the safety and feasibility of PFOB as a liquid breathing medium for up to ten days in subjects with severe BPD as evaluated by: (1) no sustained oxygen desaturations (SaO2 ≤ 80%) for greater than ten minutes without response to increased oxygen therapy, (2) no persistent hypotension (as defined by ≥ 20% decrease in blood pressure) requiring volume expansion and/or inotropic therapy, (3) no major mucus plugging events (defined as events that are unresolved after two bronchoscopes), (4) no increase in mechanical ventilator settings predictive of ventilator induced lung injury, and (5) no pneumothoraces.
Sponsor: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Current Primary Outcome: Number of PFOB participants with no treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03 toxicity Scale. [ Time Frame: Up to 10 days ]

(1) No sustained oxygen desaturations for greater than ten minutes without response to increased oxygen therapy, (2) persistent hypotension (as defined by ≥ 20% decrease in blood pressure) requiring volume expansion and/or inotropic therapy, (3) no major mucus plugging events (defined as events that are unresolved after two bronchoscopes), (4) no increase in mechanical ventilator settings predictive of ventilator induced lung injury, and (5) no pneumothoraces.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Pulmonary Artery Pressure Response to PFOB [ Time Frame: Up to 10 days ]

The effect of PFOB-PLV on pulmonary artery pressure will also be evaluated by obtaining an echocardiogram prior and post instillation.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
