About this study

Official title: Breastmilk or Oral Sucrose Solution in Preterm Neonates for Procedural Pain: a Randomized, Controlled Study

Hypothesis: Breastmilk has a more powerful analgesic effect than oral sucrose to avoid procedural pain in preterm neonates.

The objective is to test this hypothesis in a randomized, controlled study using a standardized and validated pain scale (DAN). The sample size is 21 preterm infants in each two groups. The main end point is a reduction of the risk to have a DAN superior to 1 from 80% with oral sucrose to 40% with breastmilk.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Breastmilk and Oral Sucrose in people with Procedural Pain, run by Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Creteil 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 3 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2009. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Contact Elodie Zana, MD (+33 1 45 17 54 39, Elodie.Zana@chicreteil.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Decrement from 80 to 40% of frequency of DAN's scale score superior to 1 using breastmilk instead of oral sucrose (time frame: One time during day 3 or 4 then day 7 to 10). 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 NCT00908401, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 25 May 2009.
