SurfON trial: study protocol for a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial of early surfactant therapy versus expectant management in late preterm and early term infants with respiratory distress.
(PubMed, Trials)
- "Evidence-based guidance for the management of late preterm and early term infants is sparse, and no previous large randomised controlled trials have focused on this population. Management of respiratory distress in late preterm and early term infants varies. Some clinicians prefer early surfactant administration to prevent deterioration-78others delay treatment to avoid mechanical ventilation. This inconsistency highlights the need for trials to establish an evidence base. Unexpected neonatal morbidity and prolonged hospitalisation cause significant psychological distress for families, impacting breastfeeding and maternal well-being. High intensive care workload and associated costs pose challenges for the NHS (National Health Service). Evidence-based management could improve outcomes and reduce healthcare burdens."

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Poractant Alfa vs. Calfactant in the Management of Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Tunisia
(ISPOR-EU 2025)
- "Although associated with higher costs, poractant alfa resulted in significantly fewer severe neonatal complications. The observed ICERs suggest a favorable cost-effectiveness profile. These findings underscore the importance of context-specific pharmacoeconomic evaluations to inform evidence-based resource allocation in neonatal intensive care."

Lung ultrasound imaging can effectively monitor and guide treatment with pulmonary surfactant for preterm infants of pulmonary consolidation: a prospective observational cohort study.
(PubMed, Front Pediatr)
- "While TTN can be treated with a fixed-dose regimen, NRDS has a dose-response relationship that supports customized dosage. The frequency and timing of surfactant administration in preterm newborns are determined by LUS-detected lung consolidation, which also acts as a decision-making indicator for PS therapy."

Outcomes after implementation of Minimally Invasive Surfactant Therapy (MIST) in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
(PAS 2025)
- "There were no significant differences in rates of BPD between the patients who received MIST compared to InSurE (Table 1). Additionally, there were no significant differences in secondary outcomes, including grade III or IV intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) or periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), air leak requiring drainage, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) requiring treatment, and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) (Table 1). Significantly less patients in the MIST group (1%) received premedication compared to InSurE group (16%) (p=0.003, Table 1)."

Comparing the Effect of Beractant (Beraksurf™) with That of Poractant Alfa (Curosurf®) on the Need for Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation in Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome by Adopting a Semi-parametric Approach: Re-Analyzing Data of a Randomized Controlled Trial.
(PubMed, BMC Pediatr)
- "Fitting a semi-parametric model adjusted for the baseline covariates resulted in a marginal, unbiased, more efficient and interpretable estimation of BeraksurfTM versus Curosurf® effects. Although the crude model showed that BeraksurfTM was more effective than Curosurf®, the results of the efficient semi-parametric model with adjustment for the best subset of covariates revealed no statistically significant difference between the two drugs regarding their effects. We hope that the use of this method and its findings will contribute to a better understanding of covariate adjustment."

Vitamin E Acetate Causes Softening of Pulmonary Surfactant Membrane Models.
(PubMed, Chem Res Toxicol)
- "Using high-resolution techniques of small-angle X-ray scattering, small-angle neutron scattering, neutron spin-echo spectroscopy, and neutron reflectometry, we compare the molecular-scale behaviors of these membranes to the bulk viscoelastic properties of surfactant monolayer films as studied by Langmuir monolayer techniques. While VEA does not obviously alter the structure or organization of PS membranes, a consistent softening of membrane systems─regardless of compositional complexity─provides a biophysical explanation for the respiratory distress associated with EVALI and yields a new perspective on the behavior of the PS system."

Bronchoscopic lung lavage and exogenous surfactant successfully reverse respiratory failure after severe chlorine exposure: A pediatric case report.
(PubMed, Clin Case Rep)
- "Given the underlying pathophysiology of chlorine lung injury characterized by surfactant dysfunction, the boy was treated with repeated bronchoscopic lung lavages followed by exogenous surfactant (Curosurf 30 mg/kg total), 1 h after intubation and subsequently after 6 and 12 h, when he achieved a significant and stable reduction in ventilatory requirements. This case study illustrates the beneficial effects of target therapy with bronchoscopic lung lavage followed by exogenous surfactant in chlorine related ARDS to prevent more invasive and costly treatments."

Further randomized prospective studies are necessary to evaluate these types of surfactants and investigate their efficacy as well as both short- and long-term outcomes."
