A completed Phase 1 pilot study evaluated the safety of partial liquid ventilation using perflubron for up to 10 days in neonates with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Sponsored by academic and charitable organizations, specifically the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Auto Dealers Caring for Kids Foundation, clinical evaluation of perflubron remains focused on early-phase safety assessments for pediatric pulmonary conditions.
