Recurrent episodes of cerebral hypo\u2010and\/or hyperoxia may result in brain injury. The Safe\u2010BoosC\u2010II study reported stable cerebral oxygenation in extremely preterm infants by combining a dedicated treatment guideline with NIRS monitoring using several devices and adult sensors. The ability to maintain stable cerebral oxygenation with a dedicated treatment algorithm using one type of NIRS device with neonatal sensors has not been previously investigated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this multicentre, 2\u2010arm, parallel, single\u2010blinded, phase II RCT, stratified by gestation and hospital site, 100 participants born &lt;\u200929\u2009weeks' gestation (inborn and outborns, singleton and twins) will be randomised to targeted cerebral oxygenation using dedicated treatment or usual care with blinded cerebral NIRS monitoring for the first 5\u2009days of life. We will exclude infants &gt;\u20096\u2009h of age, those with congenital anomaly requiring major surgery or a genetic disorder, and triples or higher multiple births. The primary outcome is the burden of cerebral hypoxia and hyperoxia for the first 5\u2009days after birth expressed as percent hours.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings of this trial will provide essential information on (i) validating results from the
