Clinical Trial Summary

In this randomized study The investigators aim to compare the growth of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants fed either a high protein or a standard protein preterm infant formula.

Babies will be fed the assigned formula between the time they achieve full enteral feeds and hospital discharge, for a minimum of 3 weeks. The weight gain (g/d) will be measured and compared between groups. Feeding tolerance, protein-energy status and body composition between the study groups will also be analysed.

After discharge, babies will be fed a post-discharge preterm infant formula (PDF) between hospital discharge and 3 m corrected age.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria:

- Gestational age <32 w, determined by maternal dates, fetal ultrasound, Dubowitz/Ballard examination or a combination thereof

- Birth weight =1500 g

- Tolerating an enteral intake of =100 ml/kg/d for = 24 h

- Subject is anticipated to receive the study formula for = 3 consecutive weeks after FEF have been achieved

- In infants fed human milk, formula is anticipated to provide 50% or more of total energy intake, calculated on a weekly basis and based on the assumption that human milk has an energy density of 67 kcal/dl

- Written informed consent has been obtained from the legal representative

Exclusion Criteria:

- Cardiac failure requiring fluid restriction with diuretic therapy for = 3 consecutive days

- Peri-/intra-ventricular haemorrhage (grade 3-4) determined using cranial ultrasonography

- Renal disease: by symptoms (oliguria, anuria, proteinuria, hematuria) associated with an increased BUN and creatinine

- Sepsis: defined by symptoms requiring antibiotic therapy and confirmed by a positive blood culture

- Necrotizing Enterocolitis: defined by feeding intolerance associated with positive x-ray findings (pneumatosis intestinalis - Bell Stage 2; air in the biliary tract or free air in the peritoneum - Bell Stage 3)

- Hepatic dysfunction: defined by jaundice (direct bilirubin >1.0 mg/dl) which is associated with one or more abnormal liver function tests (AST, ALT or GGT)

- Lung disease, severe enough to require steroid therapy.

- Small size for gestational age (SGA) - body weight = 5th percentile for that gestational age.

- Participation in another clinical trial that may affect outcomes of this study
