What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in inflammatory response

    Differences in faecal calprotectin's levels after 3rd and 6th months of treatment.

    Measured: At 3rd and 6th months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Changes in nutritional status

    Differences measured by changes in weight, height, growth Z-scores, fat body mass and lean body mass.

    Measured: At 3rd and 6th months

  2. Changes in microbiota profile

    Differences measured by changes in faecal microbiota composition.

    Measured: At 3rd and 6th months

  3. Changes in Interleukin levels

    Differences in faecal interleukin levels. Only for cystic fibrosis patients.

    Measured: At 6th month

  4. Incidence of Infections

    Episodes of infections during the study period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Symbiotic Formula with DHA and antioxidants and Standard Formula in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Failure to Thrive, run by Laboratorios Ordesa at 8 sites in 2 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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?

Changes in inflammatory response (time frame: At 3rd and 6th months). 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?
