Summary

Multicentric, double-blind clinical trial, which will evaluate the efficacy of iv paracetamol versus standard treatment with ibuprofen in the closure of patent ductus arteriosus in the preterm newborn. Secondarily, we intend to compare the safety of both treatments, increase our knowledge about the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics of paracetamol and ibuprofen in the neonatal period and make a pharmacoeconomic assessment of the use of both drugs.
