About this study

Official title: Neurocognitive Scores of Predominantly Formula Fed Preterm Infants in Early Childhood Years

This is a follow-up study of a recently completed trial (17.14.INF) evaluating the growth of pre-term infants. Enrolled children will undergo neurocognitive assessments at 18- and 24-months of corrected age (CA).

Read the detailed description

This is a follow-up study of a recently completed multi-center, prospective, single-arm, open-label interventional trial (17.14.INF - Alprem RTF: NCT03728764) evaluating the growth of pre-term infants receiving a two-stage PTF feeding system while in the neonatal care unit and continuing until 30 days post-discharge.

Enrolled children will undergo neurocognitive assessments at 18- and 24-months of corrected age (CA). The timing of the cognitive assessments aligns with routine check-up visits and reflect the period at which developmental delays may first become evident.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bayley-III scores at 24 months

    Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, third edition (Bayley-III) cognitive score at 24 months of corrected age (CA). Composite scores range 40-160, with a mean of 100 and SD of 10 points. A composite score of 70 or less is an indication of a delay in child neurocognitive development.

    Measured: 24 months of CA

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Bayley-III scores at 18 months

    Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, third edition (Bayley-III) cognitive score at 18 months of corrected age (CA). Composite scores range 40-160, with a mean of 100 and SD of 10 points. A composite score of 70 or less is an indication of a delay in child neurocognitive development.

    Measured: 18 months of CA

  2. Weight

    Child weight (g)

    Measured: At enrollment, 18 and 24 months of CA

  3. Length/height

    Child length/height (cm)

    Measured: At enrollment, 18 and 24 months of CA

  4. Head circumference

    Child head circumference (cm)

    Measured: At enrollment, 18 and 24 months of CA

  5. Child temperament scores

    Parent-reported child temperament questionnaire validated specifically for children between the ages of 18 and 36 months

    Measured: At 18 and 24 months of CA

  6. Developmental Milestone scores

    Parent-reported achievements of specific age-appropriate milestones (yes/no responses to child performing specific milestones or not)

    Measured: At 18 and 24 months of CA

  7. Number of healthcare usage

    Retrospective parent-reported recall of the number of healthcare usage and hospitalizations

    Measured: At 18 and 24 months of CA

  8. Feeding patterns

    Feeding practice outcomes collected retrospectively at each visit via a parent-reported questionnaire related to breastfeeding duration, prevalence of formula feeding, and age at initiation of complementary feeding

    Measured: At 18 and 24 months of CA

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?

Bayley-III scores at 24 months (time frame: 24 months of CA). 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 NCT04962035, 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?
