Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: 1. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) sildenafil in near-term and term newborns with PPHN or with hypoxic respiratory failure and at risk for PPHN to determine doses for Part 2 of the study (Part1) 2. To determine the efficacy of IV sildenafil in near-term and term newborns with PPHN or with hypoxic respiratory failure and at risk for PPHN (Part 2 );Secondary Objective: 1. To assess the safety and tolerability of IV sildenafil as measured by clinical laboratory parameters, physical exam, vital signs (Blood Pressure [BP], Heart Rate [HR], Respiratory Rate [RR] and oxygen [O2] saturation), oxygenation index (OI), and the frequency and severity of adverse events (Parts 1 and 2) 2. To characterize the PK of sildenafil in newborns that have PPHN or hypoxic respiratory failure and at risk of developing PPHN. To describe the relationship between sildenafil concentration and the primary endpoint using a population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) model-based analysis (Part 2 only) 3. To evaluate the healthcare resource utilization associated with sildenafil therapy (Part 2 only) PART 2 was not conducted. ;Primary end point(s): Plasma Concentration of Sildenafil and UK-103320 Population Pharmacokinetics ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 5, 30 minutes post-infusion; every 24 hours from start of infusion; before end of infusion; at 1, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours post-infusion in Part 1
