Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Section A: To establish the dose and sampling schedule to be used in Study Sections B and C Sections B and C: To determine the dose of IMP, administered by continuous IV infusion, required to reach and maintain a physiological range of serum IGF-1 of 20-60 µg/L, defined as the in utero levels of IGF-1 for corresponding GA in a normal population To determine serum concentrations of IGF-1 and associated pharmacokinetic parameters after continuous IV infusion of IMP Section D: To determine the effect of IMP on the severity of ROP as compared to the severity of ROP in an untreated control population To evaluate the dose of IMP administered by continuous IV infusion, required to reach and maintain a physiological range of serum IGF-1 of 28-109 µg/L To determine serum concentrations of IGF-1 and associated pharmacokinetic parameters after continuous IV infusion of IMP To determine serum concentration of IGFBP-3 and acid labile subunit (ALS) after continuous IV infusion of IMP;Secondary Objective: To determine the effect of rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3 on other efficacy parameters and determine the safety profile of rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3 when compared with standard neonatal care in preterm infants;Primary end point(s): Sections A, B, C: Primary endpoint: Severity of ROP Sections D: Primary endpoint: Maximum severity of ROP stage across all retinal examinations;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: First ROP examination shall occur at 5 to 6 weeks or PMA 31 weeks. Follow-up examination should occur at least 1 to 2 weeks depending upon the clinical evaluation of the paediatric ophtalmologist. Final ROP assessment will occur at 40 weeks +/- 4 days.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The key secondary endpoint of this study is in Section D: time to discharge from the neonatal intensive care (TDNIC).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: TDNIC will be calculated from the day of birth to the day of the discharge
