  Purpose

The HIP trial is a large pragmatic, multinational, randomised trial of two different strategies for the management of hypotension in ELGA infants (Standard with dopamine versus a restricted with placebo approach).

HYPOTHESIS: A restricted approach to the management of hypotension in extremely low gestational age newborns will result in improved neonatal and long-term developmental outcomes.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a restricted approach to the management of hypotension compared to using dopamine as first line pressor agent in infants born less than 28 weeks of gestation within the first 72 hrs after birth (transitional period), improves survival without significant brain injury at 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) and improves survival without moderate or severe neurodevelopmental disability at 2 years corrected age.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • First Co-Primary Outcome Measure: Survival to 36 weeks postmenstrual age free of severe brain injury [ Time Frame: 36 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Survival to 36 weeks postmenstrual age free of severe brain injury (moderate or severe ventricular dilatation, intracerebral echodense lesions, and cystic periventricular leukomalacia) on cranial ultrasound at 36 weeks or discharge home which ever is the earlier.

  • Second Co-Primary Outcome Measure: Survival without moderate or serious disability as defined using consensus criteria for neurodevelopmental impairment. [ Time Frame: 2 years of age ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Families will be offered routine appointments as per the local follow-up system. At 12-months, the physician will complete a simple disability assessment and all surviving infants will have a locally performed formal neurodisability assessment at 24 months age corrected for weeks of prematurity defined using criteria set out in the consensus statement "Health status …) (ww bapm.org/publications).


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • All cause mortality at 36 weeks gestational age [ Time Frame: 36 weeks gestational age ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Ages Eligible for Study:   23 Weeks to 27 Weeks
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Gestational age at birth less than 28 completed weeks, i.e. up to and including 27 weeks and 6 days.
  2. Within 72 hours of birth
  3. An indwelling arterial line, either umbilical or peripheral (e.g. radial, posterior tibial), suitably calibrated and zeroed, to monitor BP with the measuring dome at the level of the infant's mid-axillary line when supine
  4. A pre-trial cerebral ultrasound scan demonstrating no evidence of grade 3 or 4 haemorrhage intraventricular haemorrhage (i.e. intraparenchymal echodensity or echolucency, with or without acquired cerebral ventriculomegaly)
  5. A mean blood pressure 1 mmHg or more below a mean BP value equivalent to the gestational age in completed weeks, which persists over a 15 minute period (mean BP < gestational age)

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Considered non-viable by attending clinicians.
  2. Life-threatening congenital abnormalities including congenital heart disease (excluding patent ductus arteriosus, small atrial and/or ventricular septal defect). Infants known to require surgical treatment e.g. congenital diaphragmatic hernia, trache-oesophageal fistula, omphalocele, gastroschisis. Neuromuscular disorders. Frank hypovolaemia. Hydrops Fetalis.
  3. Cranial ultrasound abnormality grade 3 IVH or more prior to enrolment
