简要总结
This is an open-label trial consisting of two sub-studies to be conducted sequentially with the purpose of evaluating the safety and suitability of a two feeding systems in pre-term infants (one containing HMOs and one without HMOs).
详细描述
This is a multi-center, open-label trial to be conducted in up to 70 pre-term infants in order to evaluate the safety and suitability of two feeding systems as they would typically be used in the neonatal care unit. Growth (in comparison to recommended growth goals), feeding tolerance, biochemical parameters, and adverse event reporting will be evaluated.
The two feeding systems will be tested in two sub-studies to be conducted sequentially: sub-study 1 will evaluate a two-staged feeding system with HMOs in up to 35 pre-term infants; sub-study 2 will evaluate a two-staged feeding system without HMOs in up to 35 pre-term infants.
A follow up period from 12 to 24 months have been added to the study protocol, to assess the neurocognitive development of the subjects during this period.
