Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of the standard treatment of PDA with ibuprofen versus paracetamol in closing the patent ductus arteriosus to determine its non-inferiority to ibuprofen.;Secondary Objective: 1. To compare the safety of both treatments by the rate of early and late complications. 2. Set the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of paracetamol in the neonatal period in infants with persistent ductus. 3. Study of biomarkers and polymorphisms in urine;Primary end point(s): Non-inferiority incidence of PDA clousure (clousure rate 80%);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After a máximum of 6 doses of paracetamol

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Security: 1. Incidence of early complications: oliguria, renal failure, necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage, hyperbilirubinemia, gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation. 2. Incidence of late complications: bronchopulmonary dysplasia, periventricular leukomalacia, necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of the newborn, sepsis, death Pharmacokinetics: 1. Determination of plasma levels of paracetamol 2. Pharmacodynamics of paracetamol in the ductus. pharmacokinetic model 3. Relationship plasma levels effectively / adverse reactions Biomarkers and polymorphisms 1. Determination of biomarkers and polymorphisms in urine 2. Relationship disposal / drug metabolism;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Early complications: during treatment Late complications: until discharge
