Replacement Therapy in Preterm Infants Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind Crossover Study Comparing 0.15 g/L rhBSSL Added to Infant Formula Versus Placebo During One Week of Treatment in Preterm Infants Born Before Week 32 of Gestational Age
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in preterm infants following treatment with BSSL when administered in infant formula.
In this double-blind crossover study, patients will be randomized to receive infant formula including BSSL or infant formula without BSSL for the first 7 days. After a wash-out period of 2 days the patients will "crossover" to the other treatment regimen and receive an additional 7 days treatment. The primary efficacy measurements will be made by collecting stool during the last three days of each treatment period. ;
