About this study

Participants will be <= 32 weeks gestational age (GA) neonates randomized to parenteral nutrition (PN) prepared with standard dose trace elements or to PN prepared with standard trace elements minus manganese.

Read the detailed description

Very preterm neonates <= 32+6 weeks GA receiving PN will be randomized to receive their PN prepared with standard trace elements containing 5 mcg/kg/day of manganese, or to PN prepared with no added manganese. Randomization assignment will be double masked. All participants will have whole blood manganese measurements at baseline, at 2 weeks of postnatal age, and at 8 weeks postnatal age. Because manganese is present as a contaminant in many of the ingredients used to prepare neonatal PN, this study hypothesizes that neonates randomized to no added manganese in their PN will maintain whole blood manganese concentrations above the lower limit of normal.

Being tested
Manganese omission, 5 mCg/kg/day manganese from "Multitrace-4 Neonatal."

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Manganese omission and 5 mCg/kg/day manganese from "Multitrace-4 Neonatal." in people with Infant, Newborn, Disease, run by Sharp HealthCare 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 3 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 25 Aug 2021. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Whole Blood Manganese (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 3 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 25 Aug 2021.
