October 20, 2020 updated by: ProbiSearch SL

Effect of a Mixture of New Probiotic Strains in the Colonization of the Gastrointestinal Tract of Preterm Infants.

An interventional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will be conducted to investigate the effect of a new probiotic strain Lactobacillus PS11603 & Bifidobacterium PS10402 in premature infants from 28 weeks + 0 days to 30 weeks + 6 days of gestation.

The study duration will be 2 months, which includes 8 weeks product administration. Participants will be randomized assigned to one of the two study groups: the control group with placebo consumption and a probiotic consumption group.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

An interventional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will be conducted to investigate the effect of a new probiotic strains Lactobacillus PS11603 & Bifidobacterium PS10402 in 30 premature infants born within 28 weeks + 0 days to 30 weeks + 6 days of gestation.

The duration of participation in the study is estimated to be 40-60 days. Participants will be randomized assigned to one of the two arms of the study: the control group, with placebo consumption, and a probiotic consumption group. The aim of the study will be investigate the effect of the probiotics strains in the colonization of the intestinal tract of preterm babies.

Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Lactobacillus PS11603 & Bifidobacterium PS10402
A mixture of 1*10E9 colony forming unit (CFU) of Lactobacillus PS11603 and 1*10E8 CFU of Bifidobacterium PS10402 in 1 vial will be dissolved and enterally administered daily until discharge from the Neonatal Unit or until the 36th post-gestational week of age.
Approximately 8 weeks intervention study: Participants with 0-5 days of age will start a period of 8 weeks of intervention. During this time the participants will intake one daily dose of the product that contains 1*10E9 CFU of L.salivarius PS11603 and 1*10E8 CFU of B.longum PS10402.
