Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will evaluate the effect of oral formulation of insulin on preterm infants, born between 26-33 weeks of pregnancy, weighing over 750 grams, who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria established in this protocol.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will aim to determine whether an oral formulation of insulin administration enhances gastrointestinal maturation. The gastrointestinal maturation will be evaluated by the ability of premature infants to achieve complete enteral feeds. The insulin concentration administered in the study is physiological and within the insulin concentration range present in human breast milk and colostrum.
