About this study

Official title: A Methodology Study to Evaluate a Sitting Knee Measuring Device in Assessing Growth in Indian Children Aged 6 to 12 Years Receiving Nutritional Supplement With or Without Micronutrient Fortification

This methodology study will evaluate the sensitivity in using sitting knee digital caliper to measure changes in sitting knee length from over a 12-week study period amidst children in the age of 6 to 12 years in a community-based study in children ages 6 to 12 years who are receiving nutritional supplementation with micronutrients or without micronutrients.

Being tested
Nutritional supplement with micronutrient, Nutritional supplement without micronutrient

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from Baseline to Week 12 in bone growth, as measured by sitting knee length caliper.

    To evaluate the sensitivity of a sitting knee digital caliper to measure changes in sitting knee length from Baseline to Week 12 in a community-based study in the presence of nutritional supplementation with or without micronutrients.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change from Baseline to Week 12 in Z-score based on the standing height

    Comparison of standing height and sitting knee height to asses growth

    Measured: Baseline-Week 12

  2. Change from Baseline to Week 8 in bone growth, as measured by sitting knee length digital caliper

    To assess the relationship between changes from Baseline to Week 8 in sitting knee length and standing height in the presence of nutritional supplementation with or without micronutrients

    Measured: Baseline-Week 8

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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?

Change from Baseline to Week 12 in bone growth, as measured by sitting knee length caliper. (time frame: Baseline to Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 Jan 2018.
