Brief Summary

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

A multicenter, open label, uncontrolled study to evaluate the acceptability, tolerability, and nutritional suitability of a medical food (Renastart, Vitaflo International Ltd) specially formulated to meet the unique nutritional needs of children from birth to 10 years with chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Detailed Description

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

A multicenter, open label, uncontrolled study to evaluate the acceptability, tolerability, and nutritional suitability of a medical food (Renastart, Vitaflo International Ltd) specially formulated to meet the unique nutritional needs of children from birth to 10 years with chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Primary Objective To investigate the nutritional suitability of Renastart in children aged 10 years and under with CKD, particularly with respect to the dietary management of hyperkalemia and the maintenance / improvement of growth.

Secondary Objectives To investigate the acceptance, compliance, palatability, and tolerance of Renastart in children aged under 10 years with CKD.

A total of 15 children with CKD will be enrolled in the study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Renastart

Compared to cows' milk and/or standard pediatric enteral feeds, Renastart has the following additional nutritional features that are beneficial in children with CKD: lower phosphorus, calcium and vitamin A. The powder presentation allows flexibility with dilutions to facilitate the provision of adequate energy and protein to support growth in children with CKD.

For each subject, the recommended daily intake of Renastart is determined by the dietitian in collaboration with the local PI and primary nephrologist based on individual nutritional requirements, specifically dietary intake of potassium and serum potassium levels.

Renastart is to be given by the clinician and based on clinical and nutritional needs. Standard preparation guidelines can be found on the Renastart label.
