简要总结
This study is A Prospective, Open-label, Multicenter, Phase 3 Study to assess the acceptability of and adherence to a 10-Day regimen of Zinc Sulphate dispersible tablets for treatment of Acute Childhood Diarrhea in 310 patients.
The study is to be conducted in four centers in India and eight in Malaysia.
The primary outcome measures will assess the acceptability of and adherence to a 10-Day Regimen of Zinc Sulphate Dispersible Tablets.
The secondary outcomes will be to assess the safety and acceptability in terms of palatability of zinc sulphate dispersible tablets in children aged between 3 and 59 months with acute diarrhea and to compare the efficacy of zinc sulphate dispersible tablets in children aged between 3 to ≤18 months and >18 to 59 months.
