What is being measured

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

  1. Serum Selenium

    4 timepoints include 1) baseline prior to initiation of parenteral nutrition; 2) initiation of enteral nutrition; 3) at discontinuation of parenteral nutrition; 4) at discontinuation of preterm formula/discharge

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Discharge (~50-60 days)

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Weight

    Weight at study day 1, at first enteral feed, at full enteral feeding, and at study exit

    Measured: Change from study day 1 to study exit (~50-60 days)

  2. Length

    Length at study day 1, at first enteral feed, at full enteral feeding, and at study exit

    Measured: Change from study day 1 to study exit (~50-60 days)

  3. Head Circumference

    Head circumference at study day 1, at first enteral feed, at full enteral feeding, and at study exit

    Measured: Change from study day 1 to study exit (~50-60 days)

  4. Intake

    Daily recording of volume and calories from parenteral solutions and study formula consumed

    Measured: Change from study day 1 to study exit (~50-60 days)

  5. Serum Copper

    4 timepoints include 1) baseline prior to initiation of parenteral nutrition; 2) initiation of enteral nutrition; 3) at discontinuation of parenteral nutrition; 4) at discontinuation of preterm formula/discharge

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Discharge (~50-60 days)

  6. Serum Zinc

    4 timepoints include 1) baseline prior to initiation of parenteral nutrition; 2) initiation of enteral nutrition; 3) at discontinuation of parenteral nutrition; 4) at discontinuation of preterm formula/discharge

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Discharge (~50-60 days)

  7. WBC Super oxide dismutase (SOD) activity

    4 timepoints include 1) baseline prior to initiation of parenteral nutrition; 2) initiation of enteral nutrition; 3) at discontinuation of parenteral nutrition; 4) at discontinuation of preterm formula/discharge

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Discharge (~50-60 days)

  8. Glutathione peroxidase (GSHpx) activity

    4 timepoints include 1) baseline prior to initiation of parenteral nutrition; 2) initiation of enteral nutrition; 3) at discontinuation of parenteral nutrition; 4) at discontinuation of preterm formula/discharge

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Discharge (~50-60 days)

  9. Plasma GSHpx activity

    4 timepoints include 1) baseline prior to initiation of parenteral nutrition; 2) initiation of enteral nutrition; 3) at discontinuation of parenteral nutrition; 4) at discontinuation of preterm formula/discharge

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Discharge (~50-60 days)

  10. Plasma Amino Acid Concentrations

    4 timepoints include 1) baseline prior to initiation of parenteral nutrition; 2) initiation of enteral nutrition; 3) at discontinuation of parenteral nutrition; 4) at discontinuation of preterm formula/discharge

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Discharge (~50-60 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing selenium and sodium selenate supplementation, selenium and sodium selenite supplementation and Without selenium and sodium selenate supplementation in people with Preterm Infants, run by Abbott Nutrition at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Serum Selenium (time frame: Change from Baseline to Discharge (~50-60 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2014.
