Dose-dependent effects of Alveofact with and without steroids on neutrophil extracellular traps in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome

2026Open accessAin Shams University

Abstract

gov/study/NCT06367881?term=NCT06367881&rank=1 IMPACT: High-dose Alveofact + budesonide lowers NETs, PAD4, and oxidative stress. Plasma NETs strongly correlate with normalized tracheal aspirates NETs. First trial to test surfactant-steroid effects on neutrophil pathways in RDS. Therapy reduces neutrophil-mediated inflammation in preterm neonates. Plasma NETs may serve as a minimally invasive biomarker for RDS monitoring.
