Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Left Ventricular Eccentricity Index (LVEI) on echocardiogram after 14 days of study treatment compared to baseline echocardiogram as compared to placebo.14 days
On echocardiogram, the septal position at end systole with either flattening or bowing into the left ventricle indicates elevated right ventricular pressures, a surrogate for elevated pulmonary arterial pressures and can be used to determine pulmonary hypertension (PH). LVEI has been shown to adequately quantify septal flattening when correlated to cardiac catheterization measures. Its use decreases inter-observer variability and is a reliable assessment of neonatal PH. Elevated values of LVEI ≥ 1.4 are associated with right ventricular half to suprasystemic pressures, consistent with PH. Normative values of LVEI in neonates without PH are ≤1.
SecondaryCompare incidence of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (ECMO) between study and placebo groups14 daysnumber of infants who required ECMO during the study treatment period will be compared between study and placebo groups
SecondaryCompare incidence of death between study and placebo groups14 daysnumber of infants who died during the study treatment period will be compared between study and placebo groups
SecondaryCompare use of additional pulmonary vasodilators between study and placebo groups14 daysAny pulmonary vasodilator (eg; inhaled nitric oxide, milrinone, etc) that is started after first study drug dose through 14 days will be counted and compared between study groups
SecondaryCompare new onset hypotension between study and placebo groups4 hours
Number of infants experiencing new onset of systemic hypotension within 4 hours of study drug initiation, as defined by a greater than 20% decrease in mean arterial blood pressure from baseline value despite additional volume support up to 20 mL/kg and/or an increase in inotropic use will be compared between study and placebo groups
SecondaryCompare new onset of oliguria between study and placebo groups36 hoursNumber of infants experiencing new oliguria of \< 1mL/kg/h for 12 hours unresponsive to fluid administration with onset within the first 36 hours of study drug
OtherCompare incidence of open-label sildenafil use during/after study period between study and placebo groups3 months
Number of infants who receive open-label sildenafil during study period (protocol violation, but may happen due to clinical illness) or after study period through discharge will be compared between the study groups
OtherCompare number of ventilator days between study and placebo group14 daysEach calendar day in which the infant is intubated and on a ventilator will be counted from day of first study drug dose through day of last study drug dose
