Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Following explaination of the trial and consent, participants will be assessed for eligibility. If eligible, participants will be randomised to the order of interventions (21%, 28%, 35% or 50% oxygen). Allocation will be concealed using sealed opaque envelopes, which will only be opened once eligibilty has been confirmed.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Computer
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
