Trial summary

Extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks) frequently present oral disorders. The management of these patients require assisted ventilation, enteral nutrition, and intensive daily care (procedural pain, exposure to pain, noise, and light), which can have a negative impact on their development.

About this study

Official title: Analysis of the Factors Influencing the Acquisition of Full Oral Feeding in Very Preterm Infants

Extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks) frequently present oral disorders. The management of these patients require assisted ventilation, enteral nutrition, and intensive daily care (procedural pain, exposure to pain, noise, and light), which can have a negative impact on their development. And more specifically on the development of oral skills. In the past decades, the standard of care has evolved and is based on less "aggressive" care and the implication of parents as caregivers. Recent data on the incidence of oral disorders in extremely premature babies are not currently available.

These oral disorders have significant short-term and long-term consequences. During hospitalization, it leads to a delay in the acquisition of full oral feeding, which is defined as the absence of need for tube feeding, and is associated with prolonged hospitalization. It is also associated with a delayed development of orality, which is essential for the proper psychomotor, and cognitive development of premature infants.

Strategies have been proposed to support the acquisition of oral feeding autonomy and to prevent oral feeding disorders, including tactile stimulation of orality consisting in stroking cheeks, peri-oral and intra-oral structures, but there is still no consensus on the best way to support the development of orality in this population.

In this context, a tactile stimulation protocol of orality, has been implemented in the past years, in the neonatal unit of the croix-rousse hospital, based on data published in the literature. It is performed on a daily basis by nurses, and physiotherapists.

In this general context marked by a less aggressive management of orality, and the implementation of an orality stimulation protocol, the main objective of ORAPREM study is to determine the corrected gestational age of oral feeding autonomy in a population of extremely premature infants born recently. Secondary objectives are 1) To analyse risk factors of delay in oral feeding autonomy, to define a subgroup of high-risk infants who could benefit from reinforced interventions to stimulate orality, and 2) To calculate the incidence of oral feeding disorders up to 24 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oral Disorders, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2024. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Pr PICAUD Jean-Charles, MD, PhD (+33472004121, jean-charles.picaud@chu-lyon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Corrected gestational age at the time of acquisition of full oral feeding (time frame: Up to two 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Oct 2024.
