Trial summary

The primary purpose of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of Bledilait milk (Biofer® 2mg/100kcal) in comparison with ferrous sulphate supplemented milk (2 mg/100 kcal) in infants (6 to 12 months) with latent iron deficiency by measuring serum ferritin value after 2 months of consumption of studied milks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Serum ferritin value measured after 2 months of studied milks consumption.

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. - Serum ferritin value - Serum ferritin evolution - CMV evolution - Red blood cells evolution - Common Infectious diseases - Antibiotic consumption

    Measured: baseline, baseline + 2 months, baseline + 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bledilait Biofer®, Milk supplemented with ferrous sulphate and Blédilait Biofer® in people with Latent Iron Deficiency, run by Bledina at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serum ferritin value measured after 2 months of studied milks consumption. (time frame: 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00554814, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Nov 2008.
