Clinical Trial Summary

The ENAT study will test the impact of packages of antenatal interventions to enhance maternal nutrition and manage pregnancy infections on the outcomes of infant birth size, gestational length, and infant growth in the first 6 months of life. Approximately 5,280 pregnant women will be enrolled into the study from 12 health centers in the Amhara region of Ethiopia. Routine antenatal care will be strengthened in all health centers, and six health centers will be randomized to additionally provide a nutritional intervention including daily multiple-micronutrient or a fortified balanced-energy protein supplement for malnourished women. Women across all 12 health centers will be individually randomized to receive one of three infection management interventions in pregnancy: 1) enhanced infection management package (screening-treatment for urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted infections, presumptive deworming); 2) presumptive azithromycin (2g at <24 wks and a second dose at least 4 weeks later); or 3) placebo. The women and their infants will be followed until 6 months postpartum. Outcomes of interest include birth size (weight, length), gestational age, maternal weight gain in pregnancy, maternal anemia, antimicrobial resistance, and infant size at 6 months.

Dietary Supplement:
Multiple Micronutrient or Fortified Balanced Energy Protein Supplement
Daily multiple micronutrient (MMN) tablet (Contract Pharmacal Corp) for women with mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) >=23 cm, OR Daily fortified balanced energy protein (BEP) supplement (DSM South Africa; Faffa Food Products): Fortified corn-soy blend (784 kcal/day) for women with MUAC <23 cm
Drug:

Placebo 500mg (Idifarma): 2g (4 tablets) at 2 time points during pregnancy; enrollment (<24 weeks gestation), and follow up ANC at least 4 weeks later
Other:

ENROLLMENT VISIT: Screening for bacteriuria with urine culture, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing; Screening for chlamydia and gonorrhea with Cepheid GeneXpert; Presumptive deworming with albendazole 500mg. FOLLOWUP TREATMENT VISIT: For women with identified urinary tract infection or asymptomatic bacteriuria, treatment with antibiotics based on antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. For women with identified chlamydia or gonorrhea, treatment of woman (and partner) with appropriate antibiotics. Test of cure sample and retreatment of infection.
