Trial Outcomes & Findings for Investigation of Iron Uptake From Micronutrient Fortified Powder Versus From Tailored Control in Milk (NCT NCT02254460)

NCT ID: NCT02254460

Last Updated: 2017-07-11

Results Overview

Iron uptake was measured using stable isotopes of 57Fe and 58Fe to label the test and control products. Fractional iron absorption levels of 57Fe and 58Fe were calculated, to give a direct measure of the iron uptake from each of the study treatments.

Measure
Test Followed by Control
Patients first received micronutrient fortified nutritional beverage powder (test) and then energy, iron and calcium equivalent beverage powder without micronutrient fortification (control), packed as 27 grams (g) individual sachets, administered as a single serve in a total volume of 100 milliliters (mL) lukewarm milk for oral consumption. 1mL solution containing 3 milligrams/milliliters (mg/mL) of the stable iron isotope (57Fe,58Fe) was added to the graduated drinking container followed by a sachet of the study beverage powder. Lukewarm milk was added to the container to make up the volume to 100mL of reconstituted beverage
Control Follwed by Test
Patients first received energy, iron and calcium equivalent beverage powder without micronutrient fortification (control) and then micronutrient fortified nutritional beverage powder (test), packed as 27g individual sachets, administered as a single serve in a total volume of 100mL of lukewarm milk for oral consumption. 1mL solution containing 3mg/mL of the stable iron isotope (57Fe,58Fe) was added to the graduated drinking container followed by a sachet of the study beverage powder. Lukewarm milk was added to the container to make up the volume to 100mL of reconstituted beverage.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 15

Population: Per protocol (PP) population, defined as all participants who received at least one study treatment administration and who did not have any protocol violations deemed to affect evaluation of the iron absorption. This analysis was conducted on PP population.

Iron uptake was measured using stable isotopes of 57Fe and 58Fe to label the test and control products. Fractional iron absorption levels of 57Fe and 58Fe were calculated, to give a direct measure of the iron uptake from each of the study treatments.
