Objective. To examine whether treatment of premature infants with intratracheal recombinant human CuZn superoxide dismutase (r-h CuZnSOD) reduces bronchopulmonary dysplasia and improves pulmonary outcome at 1 year corrected age.Design. Three hundred two premature infants (600 1200 g birth weight) treated with exogenous surfactant at birth for respiratory distress syndrome were randomized to receive either intratracheal r-h CuZnSOD (5 mg/kg in 2 mL/kg saline) or placebo every 48 hours (as long as intubation was required) for up to 1 month of age. Shortterm, as well as longer-term pulmonary outcome was assessed.Results. There were no differences between groups in the incidence of death or the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (oxygen requirement with an Edwards chest radiograph score of greater than or equal to3) at 28 days of life or 36 weeks' postmenstrual age. r-h CuZnSOD was well-tolerated and not associated with significant increases in any adverse event. At a median of 1 year corrected age, health assessments and physical examinations were performed on 209 (80%) surviving infants, with complete data available on 189 infants. Thirty-seven percent of placebo-treated infants had repeated episodes of wheezing or other respiratory illness severe enough to require treatment with asthma medications such as bronchodilators and/or corticosteroids compared with 24% of r-h CuZnSOD-treated infants, a 36% reduction.
