Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective is to assess weight gain of VLBW infants fed human milk supplemented with a novel human milk-based fortifier, in comparison to use of other fortifiers (historic controls).


Description:

Background Once feeding low birthweight (LBW) or very low birthweight (VLBW) infants was primarily by commercial specialty formulas. As public health emphasis on breastfeeding increased awareness and prevalence of breastfeeding, the use of human milk in the Neonatal Intensive Care unit (NICU) became more common. However, despite the fact that milk from mothers delivering prematurely has higher nutritional content than milk from mothers delivering at term, mainly in protein and fat, thus calories, nutrient intake from human milk alone is not sufficient to satisfy the nutrition of the LBW or VLBW infants and support intrauterine growth rates. Low birth weight infants have faster growth when fed preterm formula compared to when they are breastfed. Consequently, human milk fortifiers (HMF) with an emphasis on protein and caloric density (to accommodate small gastric volume among these babies) but with major minerals and selected micronutrients were developed as supplements to admix with human milk for feeding preterm infants. HM fortifiers were initially based on cows milk proteins and were manufactured as either powders or liquids, the latter having the benefit of being sterile, avoiding the risk of contamination by bacterial contaminants in powders, eg, cronobacter sakazakii. Attention to early life nutrition has reduced the prevalence of growth restricted infants at discharge. Protein Increased protein in fortifiers in LBW feeds directly improves weight gain, and early introduction of fortifiers may mitigate typical protein intake shortfall that is seen during the transition from parenteral to enteral feeding. The highest useful protein level may have been determined.Growth of VLBW infants fed primarily breast milk supplemented with bovine milk fortifier to obtain 4.3 g protein/kg/d was not improved over infants whose milk fortification was 3.7 g/kg/d; both groups nearly achieved intrauterine growth rates. Breast milk comprised 92 and 94% of total food intake and average daily weight gains were 16.3 g/kg and 16.0 g/kg in the lower and higher protein groups, respectively. Length and head circumference gains were similar between groups. In one study bovine based fortifier providing total protein at a yet higher level of 4.6- 5.4 g/kg/d reported improved length gain, but not weight gain. Other variations of protein presentation also have been reported. Liquid HMF made with extensively hydrolyzed protein at 3.6g/100 kcal gave slightly better weight gain than powdered intact protein containing 3 g protein/100 kcal. A new powdered presentation using partially hydrolysed whey protein at 16% higher total protein content than the commercial product with intact protein gave improved weight gain. In addition to the protein content, processing is important. Acidified liquid fortifier-fed infants fared poorer than infants fed neutral pH sterilized HMF even though the acidified formula had higher protein intake (4.2 g/kg) than the sterilized (3.7 g/kg). None of these studies assessed the effects of different levels of human milk protein, but they suggest attention be paid to achieving protein targets; that liquids may be preferred over powders, and that sterilized neutral pH products are preferable to acidified products. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) One study created awareness about the value of feeding exclusive human milk in the NICU and reported that there was no difference in growth between VLBW infants fed mothers own milk supplemented with a fortifier derived from donor human milk or when a fortifier based on bovine milk was used, though the exclusively human milk diet resulted in fewer cases of NEC and NEC requiring surgical intervention. Subsequently, another study reported feeding with a fortifier based on human milk reduced days of parenteral nutrition (p=0.04), trend toward all NEC (p= 0.08) and reduced surgical NEC (p=0.04) when compared to fortification with preterm bovine milk based formula. Others report the timing of onset of NEC was delayed and incidence of late onset NEC (after 7 feeding days) and incidence of sepsis was significantly reduced among infants fed exclusive human milk diets compared to an earlier cohort of infants supplemented with bovine products; however, respiratory distress syndrome and use of surfactants was more common among the exclusive human milk cohort, and infants fed bovine products were more commonly discharged to home. A 2014 Cochrane review of 9 studies found an increased risk of NEC among infants fed preterm formulas. This conclusion has been supported by recent retrospective studies, and extending benefit of exclusive human milk diets to reduced risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in addition to NEC . The value of exclusive human milk feeding also has been explored regarding growth. Questions of the relative value of mother's own milk compared to donor human milk, the form of fortifier (powder v liquid, v acidified liquid), the level of protein, and the source of protein (bovine or human) have been explored. A study reported that infants fed >75% donor milk had higher risk of small for gestational age (SGA) compared to those fed their own mothers milk. Donor milk fed infants had lower weight gain than infants fed either moms own milk or preterm formula possibly because of lower nutrient content of donor milk. In contrast, VLBW infants fed their own mother's milk fortified alternatively with donor milk or preterm formula grew better (weight gain from birth to discharge) as the proportion of diet as breast milk increased from <25%, 25-50%, to > 75% of total intake. A retrospective analysis among extremely low birthweight infants (ELBW) exclusively human milk diets reported a comparable growth and neurodevelopment as infants fed bovine milk based fortifiers. Consequently, there is good evidence that fortification of human milk is needed to support growth of LBW and VLBW infants, that higher protein up to about 4.3 g/kg/d supports more rapid growth, and that risk of NEC and other diseases affecting LBW infants is less when LBW infants are fed exclusive human milk diets. The difficulties have been to obtain liquid fortifier derived from human milk, and evaluate its use at the protein concentrations that have been evaluated using bovine-based products. This study addresses these two needs: a sterile liquid fortifier derived from human milk is evaluated at protein intakes recommended by the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN), 4.0-4.5 g/kg/d for infants less than 1000g, and 3.5-4.0 g/kg for infants 1000-1800g. Summary of Nonclinical Experience with MHMHMF The preclinical experience with this particular fortifier is limited to analytical evaluation. There are no suitable animal models sensitive to testing the biological source of the protein, and no alternative method for assessing growth of infants fed a human protein-based fortifier than clinical study. The protein quality of the processed protein has been established by amino acid analysis to be close to the native protein, with up to a 15% decrease in available lysine, probably due to Maillard reaction with lactose. The fortifier, even at its lowest recommended use rate represents more than a 2-fold increase in all amino acids when compared to raw breast milk, we are not concerned about protein quality with our manufacturing process. Additionally, the composition of the blended fortifier exceeds Codex reference for protein quality for infant formula and formulas for special medical purposes intended for infants. Summary of Clinical Experience Medolac has processed donor whole human milk for feeding LBW infants for some years. More recently Medolac has applied standard dairy processes to partition milk into milk fat and skim fractions, and to enrich the protein content. The processes have allowed the development of high protein human milk fortifier. Supplementation of the high protein fraction with vitamins and minerals has resulted in a novel human milk based human milk fortifier for fortification of human milk-fed VLBW infants. This is the first clinical evaluation of the MHMHMF fortifier. Only one other fortifier derived from human milk is available commercially (Prolacta). Reports on its use have been published showing reduced days of parenteral nutrition (p=0.04), trend toward all NEC (p= 0.08) and reduced surgical NEC (p=0.04) and rescue from failure after use of bovine based fortifiers. Description of Investigational Product The investigational product is manufactured from whole human breast milk with the addition of selected vitamins and minerals. The source of human milk is full lactation, full term donor milk from Mothers Milk Cooperative (Boulder City, NV), collected according to stringent blood screening criteria and quality control procedures, including microbiological evaluation, nutritional composition and chemical analyses. A fractionated, concentrated product is created by first delipidating then filtering through ultrafiltration (UF) membranes to selectively concentrate protein with loss of low molecular weight components such as lactose and minerals. Fat, selected minerals, and vitamins are added to the protein enriched fluid to reach a standard ratio. It is then packaged and processed by heat to achieve commercial sterility, granting room temperature storage with extensive shelf-life. Various blending ratios of the fortifier with either the mother's expressed milk or donor milk can be used to deliver varying concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients enabling nutrient delivery to be adjusted according to the infant's tolerance for volume and calories. Blending ratios are illustrated in the table below. Simple blending of 50:50 results in a high protein, fat enriched fortifier having a caloric density of 27 kcal/ounce with protein provided at 3.0g/100 milliliters (mL). When this fortifier is mixed in a 1:2 ratio, the resulting caloric density is 25 kcal/oz and protein is provided at 2.4 g/100 ml; when this fortifier is mixed in a 1:3 ratio, the resulting caloric density is 23.6 kcal/oz and protein is provided at 2.07 g/100 ml; Similarly, other nutrients are delivered as a function of the ratio of MHMHMF to human milk. The primary objective for growth with this fortifier is the delivery of protein and calories, however we recognize that some vitamins are cofactors of enzymes involved in protein and energy metabolism. Some minerals such as zinc is variable in human milk, so was selected for addition. Other vitamins and minerals such as iron are generally monitored while others such as copper, vitamin A, and niacin are not considered limiting in human milk. In addition, heat processing used to achieve commercial sterility degrades some vitamins, making separate administration desirable. For these reasons the MHMHMF is not comprehensive in its delivery of vitamins and minerals which have been shown to be essential for nutrition. Infants should be monitored for adequate nutrition and additional fortification given as needed.
