| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Caffeine Arm | Subjects randomized to this arm will receive blinded Caffeine citrate.~Caffeine citrate: Enrolled subjects will be randomized to receive a study drug consisting of either blinded Caffeine citrate.~Randomization and study drug preparation will be done by the NICU pharmacy. Investigators and clinicians will be blinded to the assigned drug.~After randomization, an initial loading dose of 20 mg/Kg of study drug will be followed by a 5 mg/Kg/day maintenance dose. The assigned study drug will be administered intravenous or orally as determined by the clinical team.~Infants will continue to receive the study drug until 12 hours prior to the first elective extubation. | 7 | 41 | OG000 |
