Role of Body Composition in Large for Gestational Age Infants (LGA) With

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Large for Gestational Age (LGA) infants have excess fat-mass (FM) proportion secondary to prolonged in utero exposure to an energy-rich environment. Our preliminary data suggest that excess FM proportion can be associated with oral feeding delay and a potentially modifiable therapeutic target to improve oral feeding outcomes. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of a short-term Fat-free mass (FFM)-indexed feeding on the oral intake volumes in LGA infants with oral feeding difficulties.

Clinical Trial Description

Eligible subjects will be randomized to an innovative FFM-indexed feeding or the standard feeding for up to 2 weeks. The essential component of the FFM-indexed feeding will be the difference in milk prescription dosing that we propose to set the feeding volume to index FFM rather than total mass. In FFM-indexed feeding, there will be a permissive feeding volume restriction to 150 ± 10 mL/kg (FFM)/day without increasing the milk calorie density or changing the type of formula milk, whereas the standard feeding will include a feeding volume goal of 150 ± 10 mL/kg (body weight)/day. Infants will receive either breast milk or formula feedings per the standard feeding protocols. Body composition (PEAPOD system) and appetite-regulating hormones (ARH) levels of enrolled infants will be assessed at baseline (test-1) and at the end 2-week study intervention period (test-2). Subjects will be followed for clinical and growth outcomes until neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge and through 6 months of age. Growth will be followed through 6 months of age by retrieving anthropometric measurement records from pediatricians at well-child visits (2-, 4-, 6- and 6-month visits). Parents will be called at these time points to obtain a history of any further feeding difficulties. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
