Effect of Household Use of Multiple Micronutrient-fortified Bouillon on Micronutrient Status Among Women and Children in Two Districts in the Northern Region of Ghana

Start date: January 16, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Micronutrient (MN) deficiencies are severe and widespread in West Africa, particularly among young children and women of reproductive age. Bouillon is a promising food fortification vehicle because the product is centrally processed on large scale, consumed by most households in West African countries (even rural, poor households), and consumed by most members of the household in relatively constant amounts. However, several important research questions remain regarding whether the use of fortified bouillon would be feasible and effective for preventing or reducing micronutrient deficiencies in communities where such deficiencies are common. Specifically, no studies have assessed the impacts of multiple micronutrient-fortified bouillon on micronutrient status. The West Africa Condiment Micronutrient Innovation Trial (CoMIT) Project aims to address this gap, to inform future discussions around fortification of bouillon cubes and related products. Objective: This study aims to assess the impacts of household use of multiple micronutrient-fortified bouillon cubes (containing iodine in addition to vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin B12, iron, and zinc), compared to control bouillon cubes fortified with iodine only, on: 1. Micronutrient status among women 15-49 years of age and children 2-5 years of age after 9 months of intervention 2. Hemoglobin concentrations among women 15-49 years of age and children 2-5 years of age after 9 months of intervention 3. Breast milk micronutrient concentrations among lactating women 4-18 months postpartum after 3 months of intervention Methods: This randomized, controlled doubly-masked trial will be conducted in the Kumbungu and Tolon districts in the Northern Region of Ghana, where prior data indicate that deficiencies in the selected nutrients are common. Potential participants will be: 1) non-pregnant non-lactating women of reproductive age (15 - 49 years old), 2) children 2-5 years of age, and 3) non-pregnant lactating women 4-18 months postpartum. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive household rations of one of two types of bouillon cubes: 1. a multiple micronutrient-fortified bouillon cube containing vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and iodine, or 2. a control cube containing iodine only Each participant's household will receive a specific amount of bouillon cube every 2 weeks, and households will be advised to prepare their meals as usual, using the study-provided cubes. The trial duration will be 9 months (38 weeks) for non-pregnant, non-lactating women and children 2-5 years of age, and 3 months (12 weeks) for lactating women. The primary outcomes will be changes from baseline to endline in concentrations of haemoglobin and biomarkers of micronutrient status. Secondary outcomes will include change in prevalence of anaemia and micronutrient deficiency; dietary intake of bouillon and micronutrients; inflammation, malaria, and morbidity symptoms; and children's anthropometric measures and child development.

Intravenous Iron Supplement for Iron Deficiency in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis

IIISAS
Start date: January 2, 2020
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Iron deficiency is a prevalent nutritional deficiency and a common cause of anemia. Although iron deficiency is traditionally linked to anemia, iron deficiency is prevalent even in the absence of anaemia and in itself limits function and survival. Iron deficiency is a common feature of various chronic diseases, and up to 50% of patients with heart failure have iron deficiency. Iron deficiency is more prevalent the more advanced the disease is and occurs more frequently in women. Iron deficiency comprises absolute iron deficiency (usually defined as ferritin < 100 ng/ml) as well as functional iron deficiency, in which iron supply is inadequate to meet the demand for the production of red blood cells and other cellular functions despite normal or abundant body iron stores. Iron deficiency is associated with poor exercise capacity, lethargy and reduced quality of life. Results from our studies have shown that iron deficiency is prevalent in patients with aortic stenosis. Some of the symptoms associated with aortic stenosis, such as fatigue, reduced exercise capacity, dyspnoea and cognitive dysfunction, have traditionally been thought to be caused by the haemodynamic derangements precipitated by the valvular stenosis. However, similar symptoms can be brought about by iron deficiency, and the investigators hypothesize that intravenous iron supplement will improve exercise capacity, muscle strength, cognition, health-related quality of life and myocardial function in patients with severe aortic stenosis and iron deficiency. This is a phase 2, double blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial. Participants will be randomised in a 1:1 fashion to receive a single intravenous dose of iron isomaltoside (50 patients) or matching placebo (50 patients). The study is designed to show superiority with regard to the primary endpoint in patients assigned to active treatment versus patients allocated to the placebo arm. The main goal is to evaluate the effect of a single dose of intravenous iron isomaltoside on exercise capacity after transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with severe aortic stenosis and iron deficiency. For this study, the investigators have defined as serum ferritin < 100 µg/l or ferritin between 100 and 300 µg/l in combination with a transferrin saturation < 20 %.

Iron Absorption From Iron Fortified Extruded Rice Co-fortified With Various Solubilizing Agents

Start date: October 2, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Food fortification is regarded as a safe and cost-effective approach to counteract and prevent iron deficiency. Rice is a staple food for millions of people living in regions where iron-deficiency anaemia is a significant public health problem. Therefore, rice may be a promising fortification vehicle. Ferric pyrophosphate (FePP) is an acceptable iron compound for rice fortification, due to its white colour and low reactivity with the rice matrix. However, iron from FePP generally has a low bioavailability. To increase the low iron bioavailability of FePP in fortified rice, ligands acting as solubilizing agents have been suggested, such as citric acid/trisodium citrate (CA/TSC), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and sodium pyrophosphate (NaPP). It is however unclear to which extent CA/TSC would enhance iron bioavailability in presence of phytic acid, a common inhibitor of iron absorption found in whole grains and legumes. Zinc oxide reduces iron bioavailability from FePP with and without CA/TSC, in contrast to Zinc sulphate. It is however unclear if this decrease would be also expected in presence of EDTA as solubilizing agent. Further, NaPP has been suggested as a solubilizing agent, enhancing the bioavailability from FePP in bouillon cubes. This study aim to test its effect in rice. Meals containing a high (bean sauce) and low (mixed vegetable) phytic acid level sauce will be used to simulated varying dietary backgrounds, allowing to answer the question which solubilizing agent is viable in enhancing iron bioavailability.

Iron Absorption From Fortified Extruded Rice Using Different Extruding Temperatures.

Start date: September 25, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Food fortification is regarded as a safe and cost-effective approach to counteract and prevent iron deficiency. Rice is a staple food for millions of people living in regions where iron-deficiency anaemia is a significant public health problem. Therefore, rice may be a promising fortification vehicle. Hot and cold extrusion, have been identified as the major methods for rice fortification. Extruded rice has the advantage of incorporating vitamins and minerals into the food matrix. Cold, warm and hot extrusion differ in the processing temperature and the physical structure of fortified rice kernel matrix. A recent human study in young women showed fractional iron absorption was higher in cold extruded rice compared to hot extruded Rice and this was associated with changes in the starch microstructure. These changes cannot be detected in warm extruded rice, thus, our aim is to test the iron bioavailability in difference extrusion methods; hot and warm and cold with and without the solubilizing agent CA/TSC. This will provide information on optimized rice formulations for optimal iron delivery.

Iron-fortified Lentils to Improve Iron (Fe) Status in Bangladesh

Start date: September 30, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

We designed a double-blind, community-based, cluster-randomized control trial which will test to establish novel evidence on the efficacy of iron-fortified lentil in improving body Fe status of non-pregnant adolescents in rural Mymensingh district of Bangladesh. Lentils will be fortified with iron in the lab setting at the Crop Development Center (CDC) of the University of Saskatchewan in Canada. There will be three lentils based dietary intervention arm in this efficacy trial. Arm 1 will be intervened with iron-fortified lentils, Arm 2 will be non-iron fortified lentils, and Arm 3 arm will be the usual intake of lentil (no additional lentil). Arm 2 will be served as a comparison group and arm 3 will be served as control group. A total of 420 adolescent girls (including 20% drop-outs) - aged 10 - 17y; non-smoking, not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and generally healthy will be included in each arm - a total of 1260 adolescent girls in all three arms. Participating adolescents will be served thick preparation of cooked lentils (37.5gm raw lentil) 5 days a week for 85 feeding days (around 4+months). Socio-demographic characteristics, household food security status, and adolescent food habits will be collected at baseline and endline data point. Furthermore, venous blood will be collected to measure adolescents' Fe status at baseline, midline, and endline for 85 feeding days (5 days a week)- approx. 4+ months. In addition, Ravens Progressive Matrices will be used for non-verbal measurement of the cognitive ability of advanced observation and thinking skills specific to capacity for analyzing and solving problems, abstract reasoning, and the ability to learn of the adolescents. Both descriptive and inferential statistics will be used for this study. Serum ferritin level and cognitive performance is the primary outcome. The trial expects that the supplemental Fe from the iron-fortified lentils will improve body Fe status and cognitive performance after controlling for baseline Fe status and dietary Fe intake in this group of adolescent girls. The secondary outcome is the participants' anthropometries. Considering the amount of plant protein from lentils that need to be consumed to for the study, it is expected to have significant improvement in growth of the participants which will lead to increased productivity.
