Read the detailed description

Brief description: The purpose of this study is to assess the iron status and to confirm the usability of the non-invasive ZnPP measurement for screening the different stages of iron deficiency defined by standard measurements from blood.

Detailed Description:

The primary objective of this study is to assess the iron status and the prevalence of the different stages of iron deficiency measured and defined by the standard blood iron measurements and by the non-invasive measurement of red blood cell Zinc Protoporphyrin fluorescence in the microcirculation of the lower lip.

The secondary objective is to compare and to assess the usability of the non-invasive ZnPP measurement versus other standard iron status measurements from blood in distinguishing the different stages of iron deficiency.

Subjects will be enrolled into the study after signing an assent form in addition to having parental informed consent signed. Total study duration is 1 day.

Receives: Device: TIBAY Meter

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of Iron deficiency (ID stage I)

    Iron status / prevalence of different stages of iron deficiency (ID) measured and defined by the standard blood iron measurements and the non-invasive measurement of red blood cell Zinc Protoporphyrin fluorescence in the microcirculation of the lower lip

    Measured: From Screening till study completion or up to 7 days, whichever comes first

  2. Prevalence of Iron deficient erythropoiesis (ID stage II)

    Iron status / prevalence of different stages of iron deficiency (ID) measured and defined by the standard blood iron measurements and the non-invasive measurement of red blood cell Zinc Protoporphyrin fluorescence in the microcirculation of the lower lip

    Measured: From Screening till study completion or up to 7 days, whichever comes first

  3. Prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (ID stage III)

    Iron status / prevalence of different stages of iron deficiency (ID) measured and defined by the standard blood iron measurements and the non-invasive measurement of red blood cell Zinc Protoporphyrin fluorescence in the microcirculation of the lower lip

    Measured: From Screening till study completion or up to 7 days, whichever comes first

  4. Prevalence of Anemia but no ID

    Iron status / prevalence of different stages of iron deficiency (ID) measured and defined by the standard blood iron measurements and the non-invasive measurement of red blood cell Zinc Protoporphyrin fluorescence in the microcirculation of the lower lip

    Measured: From Screening till study completion or up to 7 days, whichever comes first

  5. Prevalence of Iron deficiency using total body iron stores (TBIS)

    Iron status / prevalence of different stages of iron deficiency (ID) measured and defined by the standard blood iron measurements and the non-invasive measurement of red blood cell Zinc Protoporphyrin fluorescence in the microcirculation of the lower lip

    Measured: From Screening till study completion or up to 7 days, whichever comes first

  6. Prevalence of iron deficiency using the non-invasive zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) measurements

    Iron status / prevalence of different stages of iron deficiency (ID) measured and defined by the standard blood iron measurements and the non-invasive measurement of red blood cell Zinc Protoporphyrin fluorescence in the microcirculation of the lower lip

    Measured: From Screening till study completion or up to 7 days, whichever comes first

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison the non-invasive ZnPP with other standard blood iron status measurements

    Comparison the non-invasive ZnPP with other standard blood iron status measurements for (ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor, hemoglobin) By comparing accuracy/ sensitivity/ specificity/ positive predictive value/negative predictive value/ ROC curve

    Measured: From Screening till study completion or up to 7 days, whichever comes first

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TIBAY Meter in people with Iron-deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anemia, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 1 site in Philippines.

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 3 inclusion and 9 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 24 Mar 2023. 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 Philippines. 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?

Prevalence of Iron deficiency (ID stage I) (time frame: From Screening till study completion or up to 7 days, whichever comes first). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Mar 2023.
