May 22, 2018 updated by: Beingmate Baby & Child Food Co Ltd .
A multi-center,randomized,double-blind,controlled clinical trial was used to investigate the effectiveness of the treatment of infant iron deficiency anemia by taking ferralia and different contents lactoferrin.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

5-9 months old infants with iron deficiency anemia were randomly divided into three groups. On the basis of giving the same dose of ferralia,three different levels lactoferrin infant formula were intervened 3 months respectively,and evaluate the clinical effect.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Placebo Comparator: Standard infant fomula
Infants with iron deficiency anemia randomly divided into this arm were given the same dose of ferralia with other arms,but were fed with standard infant formula (without lactoferrin supplementation)
Other: Standard infant fomula
Infants with iron deficiency anemia randomly divided into this group were given the same dose of ferralia with other groups,and were fed with infant formula without lactoferrin supplementation.
Experimental: Low level LF infant formula group
Infants with iron deficiency anemia randomly divided into this arm were given the same dose of ferralia with other arms,but were fed with infant formula supplemented with low level of lactoferrin (38mg/100g). Lactoferrin:38mg/100g
Other: Low level LF infant formula
Infants with iron deficiency anemia randomly divided into this group were given the same dose of ferralia with other groups,and were fed with infant formula supplemented with low level of lactoferrin (38mg/100g).
Experimental: High level LF infant formula group
Infants with iron deficiency anemia randomly divided into this arm were given the same dose of ferralia with other arms,but were fed with infant formula supplemented with high level of lactoferrin (76mg/100g)
Other: High level LF infant formula
Infants with iron deficiency anemia randomly divided into this group were given the same dose of ferralia with other groups,and were fed with infant formula middle supplemented with high level of lactoferrin (76mg/100g).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes of Hb concentration(g/L)
Time Frame: Change of Hb concentration from baseline at 1 month and 3 months.
Hb was measured by the hemoglobincyanide method
Change of Hb concentration from baseline at 1 month and 3 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change of body weight (kilograms)
Time Frame: Changes of body weight from baseline at 1 month and 3 months.
Body weight is detected by electronic scale
Changes of body weight from baseline at 1 month and 3 months.
Change of body length (meters)
Time Frame: Changes of body weight from baseline at 1 month and 3 months.
Body length is detected by infant height bed
Changes of body weight from baseline at 1 month and 3 months.
Change of head circumference (millimeters)
Time Frame: Changes of body weight from baseline at 1 month and 3 months.
Head circumference detected by measuring tape
Changes of body weight from baseline at 1 month and 3 months.
Change of serum ferritin concentration (μg/L)
Time Frame: Changes of serum iron concentration from baseline at 3 months.
concentrations of serum ferritin (SF,μg/L) were measured using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; Sunbiote, Shanghai, China).
Changes of serum iron concentration from baseline at 3 months.
Change of serum transferrin receptor concentration(mg/L)
Time Frame: Changes of serum transferrin receptor concentration from baseline at 3 months.
Serum soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR, mg/L) was measured by microparticle-enhanced immunoassay (Sunbiote, Shanghai, China)
Changes of serum transferrin receptor concentration from baseline at 3 months.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
