Severe Acute Malnutrition Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomised Controlled Trial of n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid-Enriched Therapeutic Food for Childhood Severe Malnutrition
The investigators will perform a randomised controlled trial of the provision of food designed for rehabilitation of malnourished children that is supplemented with n-3 fatty acids compared to usual composition. The investigators want to see whether the provision of such a food normalises the deficiencies in essential fatty acids observed in severely malnourished children faster than standard composition.
Randomized controlled trial of n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid-Enriched Therapeutic Food for
Severe Malnutrition.
Description of Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial
Study Duration: 6 months (Trial); 12 months (All trial-related activities)
Description of Intervention: Provision of ready to use food (RUTF) enriched with flax seed
oil, with or without fish oil, compared to conventional-composition RUTF. Interventional
product will be given until nutritional recovery to a maximum of 12 weeks.
Design: Flax-enriched or standard RUTF allocation is randomised and double blind. Fish oil
allocation is randomised within those receiving flax-enriched RUTF and is open label.
Location: Kilifi District, coastal Kenya.
