About this study

Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein of the transferrin family which is expressed and refers to it as a "red protein from milk". It is known that lactoferrin can modulate the overall immune response in inflammatory disorders including modulation of cytokine/ chemokine production and immune regulation that resenting by interleukin (IL)-10. Children with failure to thrive have increase the risk of infectious disease. The mechanism behind this may be due to impaired of immune function, in which pro-inflammation response is increased (IL-1β, IL-6), while IL-10 acted as anti-inflammation response tends to reduces.

High calorie formula (Oral Nutrition Supplement/ONS) are products used for oral nutrition support with the aim of increasing nutritional intake. they are a nutrition treatment option for when nutrition support has been identified beside dietary counselling. ONS are typically used in addition to a normal diet, when diet alone is insufficient to meet daily nutritional requirement due to infection or others. ONS should be treated like medication, ensure they are labelled with the patient's name and provided at the prescribed time. It is well established that nutritional deficiency or inadequate can impair immune function. Growing evidence suggest that for certain nutrients increased intake above currently recommended levels may help optimize immune function including improving the defense function and thus resistance to infection while maintaining tolerance.

This study aims to analize the levels of IL-6 and IL- 10 in children with failure to thrive with infection before and after receiving the intervention of lactoferrin in high-calorie formula milk. This study is an observational study with a pre-, post-test design, with designed total subject is 80. The subject is healthy children with weight faltering aged 1-5 years diagnosed with infection (tuberculosis/TB or urinary tract infection/UTI)

Read the detailed description

Interventional study with a pre-, post-test design. After the subject were diagnosed with infection (tuberculosis/TB or urinary tract infection/ UTI), they will receive 400 kcal/day (96 g/day divided 4 times consumption) of high calorie formula prescribed by the researcher (A pediatrician) for 90 days consumption (8640 g). the subject will monitored every 30 days for acceptance, tolerance, weight increment, length increment evaluation.

The blood will be withdrawn at day 0 (before invention) and day 90 (after intervention) to measure the IL-6 and IL-10 levels. The high calorie formula is given as much as 400 kcal/day for 90 days after the subject were diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) or urinary tract infection (UTI), determine as day 1. the diagnosis will be determined by pediatrician. Before the intervention (day 0) and after the intervention (day 61), the subjects were taken the blood by laboratory employee of the private hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia

What is being measured

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

  1. Acceptance and tolerance of high calorie formula by the subject

    Change on IL-6 levels (in ng/mL), the data will be presented as mean +/- SD. The level of IL-6 will be investigated using human IL-6 ELISA kit (BT Lab)

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Acceptance and tolerance of high calorie formula by the subject

    Change on IL-10 (in ng/mL), the data will be presented as mean +/- SD. The level of IL-10 will be investigated using human IL-10 ELISA kit (BT Lab)

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Acceptance and tolerance of high calorie formula by the subject

    Change on body weight (in kg) the data will be presented as mean +/- SD.The body weight will be measure using digital baby scale (Seca 354) and digital scale Seca Robusta 813.

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Acceptance and tolerance of high calorie formula by the subject

    Change on body length/body height (in cm). The body length/height will be measure using infantometer (Seca 416) and stadiometer (for children aged < 2 years, Seca 213)

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Calorie Formula in people with Failure to Thrive and Infections, run by Universitas Airlangga at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 1 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
