Brief Summary

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

This study is design to assess the effects of an increase in nutritional intake on the bone mineral density of children with sickle cell disease, for 12 months.

Detailed Description

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

* Sickle cell disease is the most common inherited disease of the red blood cell
* During sickle cell disease, the decrease in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in children is very common: 19 and 56% depending on the studies
* children with sickle cell disease have an increase in resting energy expenditure of 15-20%
* children with sickle cell disease have a significant decrease in muscle mass
* there are no specific nutritional recommendations for sickle cell disease in children

Our main purpose is to assess the effects of an increase in nutritional intake on the bone mineral density of children with sickle cell disease, for 12 months

Our secondary objectives are :

1. / Evaluate the effects of an increase in nutritional intake on: body composition, height and weight growth, frequency of complications of sickle cell disease, school absenteeism, cardiac function, cerebral vasculopathy, biological parameters follow-up, and the relationship with the treatment started
2. / Creation of a sero-type blood bank for future research

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Randomization of patients included in 2 groups

* Group 1: receiving an oral nutritional supplement to increase calorie intake by around 20%
* Group 2: "controls" receiving normal calorie intake without oral nutritional supplement Randomization will take into account age, gender and severity of disease in order to create two homogenous groups

Monitoring by biphotonic absorptiometry, dietetic, clinical and biological

Creation of a sero-type blood bank for the 2 groups

Study Groups

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

Group with oral nutritional supplement

Group 1: receiving an oral nutritional supplement to increase calorie intake by around 20%

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Oral Nutritional Supplement

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

We will propose to the patients of group 1 several different oral nutritional supplements according to taste, and consistency of each child in order to optimize observance. Each of those different oral nutritional supplements will be adapted to the nutritional survey and the age of children without exceeding recommended intake of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and micronutrients. Those patients will consume the Oral Nutritional Supplement during 12 months.

Control group

Group 2: "controls" receiving normal calorie intake without oral nutritional supplement

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
