Clinical Trials Fora: AIROPLANE study

When

Thursday, 7 April 2022 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM

Trial Details

Trial:                     AIROPLANE study: Air or Oxygen for Preterm infants; AN Embedded trial

Presenter:             Louise Owen and Brett Manley

Brief Summary:    The AIROPLANE study will assess the effects of commencing respiratory support with 30% oxygen compared with 21% oxygen in preterm infants at birth, to determine whether either strategy leads less need for later breathing support, and other secondary outcomes. AIROPLANE will include 1,200 infants born 4-8 weeks premature over a 2-year period, born in ~20 hospitals throughout Victoria. The trial will be cluster randomised, using waived consent. Data collection uses a novel QR code process and will run alongside the Generation Victoria project, providing extended outcomes.

About the Clinical Trials Fora

The Clinical Trial Forum is an informal discussion which gives researchers a chance to consult a range of experienced trialists, and for MCRI staff to understand other campus research projects. Typically a researcher will present on their project for approximately 40 minutes,  and the group will then provide feedback and discuss strategies to overcome or avoid the common obstacles for Clinical Trials.

The project information presented generally includes:

• The research question 
• Outline of the intervention
• What is already known and the plausibility that the intervention would work
• Why the question is relevant & important
• Proposed participants and outcomes
• Trial design
• Possible issues
• Preliminary information about logistics i.e. budget, timeline, study design
• Questions from the audience
