Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of Colostrum on Mucosal Immunity in Very Low Birth Weight (VLBWs) Premature Infants (NCT NCT01776268)

NCT ID: NCT01776268

Last Updated: 2017-07-07

Results Overview

Saliva will be sampled on day 1-2 of life prior to oral priming. Investigators are assessing saliva for a change in the concentration of antimicrobial proteins.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: days 7-9 of life

Saliva will be sampled 24-48 hours after the 5-days of oral priming is completed. Investigators are assessing saliva for a change in the concentration of antimicrobial proteins.
