"We enterally administered a 14-day course of 3-mercapto-D-valine (D-penicillamine) to five extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates, as a step toward assessing this therapy as a means of reducing the incidence or severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)."7.73A pilot trial testing the feasibility of administering D-penicillamine to extremely low birth weight neonates.
