Puberty and Body Composition clinical trials

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.

Association Between Soy Based Formula in Infancy and Puberty

Start date: May 1, 2013
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background: Children in industrialized and developing countries have a higher tendency to present earlier signs of puberty. One hypothesis includes the hormonal effects of phytoestrogens found in soy products. Objective: to examine the association between consumption of soy-based food in early infancy and childhood and the incidence of early or precocious puberty and overweight in school-aged children. Methods: the study population for this case control study is randomized from a prospectively followed cohort of all babies born at Assaf Haroffeh medical center and followed for milk allergy signs and food intake until the age of 3 years (A nested cohort). It is divided to those who were allergic to milk, and thus consumed only soy based formula and food during infancy and childhood (soy group) and a randomized control group who consumed non-soy based intake. For both groups data are available of food habits during infancy and collected from 3 days food diaries during the current study. Physical examination, including weight , height, blood pressure and Tanner Pubertal Staging will performed annually.
