About this study

Official title: Incidence and Clinical Outcome of Human Cytomegalovirus Transmission Via Thawed Frozen Breast Milk in Preterm Infants <31 Weeks. A Prospective Trial.

Cytomegalovirus infection threatens preterm infant. We investigated, whether thawed breast milk is a mode of transmission

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?

CMV status of preterm infants (time frame: 2005-2008). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00668798, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
