简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether term SGA infants who are fed a nutrient-enriched pre-term formula will have a higher cognitive score, a more appropriate length-for-age Z-score (leading to a lower prevalence of Stunting) but higher blood pressure at 2 years of age compared to term SGA infants who are fed on a regular starter formula.
详细描述
This is multi-sites, interventional, double-blinded, randomized, 2-arm parallel-group clinical trial. Two HM fed groups will be included as comparator group.
The primary objectives are:
- To evaluate neurodevelopment at 2 years of age in term small-for-gestational age (SGA) infants fed standard formula or nutrient-enriched formula from 1 to 6 months of age and compare to each human milk (HM)-fed group.
- To evaluate length-for-age Z-score at 2 years of age in term SGA infants fed standard formula or nutrient-enriched formula from 1 to 6 months of age and compare to each HM-fed group.
- To evaluate systolic blood pressure at 2 years of age in term SGA infants fed standard formula or nutrient-enriched formula from 1 to 6 months of age and compare to each HM-fed group.

入选标准
- •Having obtained his/her parents' (or his/her legally accepted representative's LAR's]) written informed consent and having evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the infant's parents/LAR have been informed of pertinent aspects of the study.
- •For infants in formula fed groups only: infants who require formula feeding due to lactation failure after minimum 2 rounds of breastfeeding counselling.
- •Birth Weight < 10th percentile at term using the 2013 INTERGROWTH-21st Growth Charts for girls and boys.
- •Full term birth (gestational age ≥ 37 weeks and ≤ 41 weeks + 6 days), with gestational age estimated using fetal anthropometry by ultrasonography in early 1st trimester of pregnancy or calculated using the first day of the last menstrual period + 40 weeks if fetal anthropometry data for term calculation is not available or was collected after the 1st trimester.
- •Age <45 days at time of enrollment
- •For infants in the HM-fed AGA comparator group only: born to mothers with pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) ≥ 18.5 and <25kg/m2
排除标准
- •mothers with Type-1 Diabetes
- •mothers who smoked >10 cigarettes per day during pregnancy.
- •mothers who used Illicit drugs (e.g. marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, or heroin) or alcohol (>3 alcoholic beverages per week) during pregnancy
- •Suspected or documented systemic or congenital infections (e.g Human Immunodeficiency virus, cytomegalovirus)
- •Genetic or any other type of congenital malformations, metabolic, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, pancreatic or hepatic diseases or medical conditions that could compromise growth and/or food intake.
- •Fit to be discharged from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in > 5 consecutive days with the exception of infants in the NICU due to jaundice only.
- •Known or suspected intolerance/ allergy to milk protein or any ingredient in the study formulas
- •For infants in the HM-fed groups only: infants who are consuming fortified human milk or formula.
- •Participation in any other interventional clinical trial during the 14 days prior to enrollment.
- •Infants or infant's family who in the investigator's judgement cannot be expected to comply with the protocol or study procedures.
