A Clinical Safety Study of AT-100 (rhSP-D) in Preterm Neonates at High Risk for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational drug, AT-100, can reduce the occurrence of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) in babies born premature, as compared to babies born premature who receive an air-sham alone.
