Trial summary

The primary objective of the study was to compare the growth parameters of children approximately 2* years of age, who as infants were randomized to receive either a lower-protein formula ("experimental formula"; EF) with 12.8 g/L protein or a standard formula (SF) with 14.1 g/L protein or who were human milk (HM) fed… Read more about this study

About this study

The primary objective of the study was to compare the growth parameters of children approximately 2* years of age, who as infants were randomized to receive either a lower-protein formula ("experimental formula"; EF) with 12.8 g/L protein or a standard formula (SF) with 14.1 g/L protein or who were human milk (HM) fed for the first 4 months of life. The secondary objective was to describe diet and nutrient intake in this cohort of children. The exploratory objectives were to describe stool microbiota in a subset of this cohort and stool composition (stool soap and nonsoap fatty acids, total fatty acids, and minerals) in a second subset of this cohort.

(* The mean age of subjects was 33.0 months due to a delay in the study start-up.)

Read the detailed description

This was an observational, single-site, follow-up study of healthy children who as infants who had completed study 9052A1-3000. An attempt was made to contact all subjects who had completed study 9052A1-3000 by telephone to ask them to participate in study 9052A1-3001. Approximately 66 and 60 subjects were planned to participate in the stool microbiota and stool composition substudies, respectively.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2013. 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 Philippines. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Weight-for-Length Z-Scores (time frame: 2 years of age). 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 NCT02010749, 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 13 Dec 2013.
