What is being measured

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

  1. Clinically assessed adequate rehydration based on clinical judgement of change in or absence of presenting symptoms from baseline (i.e. heart rate, urine output, etc.)

    Assess change in clinical hydration status from presenting baseline status

    Measured: every 4 hours up to 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Clinical Assessment of patient's hydration status based on presenting symptoms (i.e. heart rate, urine output, etc.)

    5 point scale, 1(no discomfort) minimum, 5 (severe discomfort) maximum

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Study ORS intake (units)

    Measured: Every 4 hours up to 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first

  3. Use of IV fluids

    Measured: up to 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first

  4. Weight

    kg

    Measured: Every 4 hours up to 24 h or at hospital discharge, whichever occurs first

  5. Participant comfort questionaire

    Measured: baseline and 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first

  6. Parent satisfaction questionnaire

    Measured: baseline and 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first

  7. Frequency of vomiting

    Measured: every 4 hours up to 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first

  8. Frequency episodes of urination

    Measured: every 4 hours up to 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first

  9. Frequency of liquid/watery stool

    Measured: every 4 hours up to 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first

  10. Time to resolution of liquid/water stool

    Measured: up to 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever comes first

  11. Stool for bacterial pathogen culture and viral antigens

    Measured: up to 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever comes first

  12. Time ready for discharge

    Measured: At discharge or 48 hours whichever occurs first

  13. Medically confirmed adverse events collected throughout the study period

    Measured: 0 hours through 7 days post discharge

  14. Record patient use of antibiotics during hospitalization

    Measured: up to 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever comes first

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glucose containing Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) and Sugar free - amino acid and electrolyte ORS in people with Gastroenteritis Acute, run by Mead Johnson Nutrition at 4 sites in Thailand.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Thailand. 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?

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?

Clinically assessed adequate rehydration based on clinical judgement of change in or absence of presenting symptoms from baseline (i.e. heart rate, urine output, etc.) (time frame: every 4 hours up to 24 hours or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first). 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 25 Mar 2024.
