Skydda för tidigt födda barn från luftvägsinfektioner och väsande andning genom att använda bakteriella lysater. (PROTEA)

23 september 2026 uppdaterad av: Gerdien Tramper, Franciscus Gasthuis

Skydda sent-måttliga för tidigt födda barn från luftvägsinfektioner och väsande andning under deras första levnadsår genom att använda bakteriella lysater.

The primary objective of this study is to reduce respiratory tract infections and wheezing in moderate-late preterms in the first years of life by bacterial lysate administration. Next to determine the correlation of biological markers with respiratory symptoms, immune protection and treatment effect.

Detaljerad beskrivning

This is a randomised placebo-controlled trial including 500 otherwise healthy moderate-late preterm infants. Participants will receive bacterial lysate (OM-85/Broncho-Vaxom, 3,5mg) or placebo powder for ten days each month, from 6-10 weeks after birth until 12 months after birth. At 12 months, parents of participants are asked to join in Protea-2. If they do, participants in the treatment arm of year 1 are randomised again over placebo and OM-85 and treated until the age of 24 months. Clinical data will be continuously collected by e-Health and 3 (possibly digital) study visits; with optional biological sampling and lung function at baseline, 6 and 12 months.

Main study parameters are doctor diagnosed lower RTI and wheezing episodes in the first year of life. Biological sampling will allow investigation of immune maturation, as well as microbiome development in the respiratory tract and gut. Also, biomarkers for risk-group selection and/or treatment success will be examined.

Deltagargrupp / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Aktiv komparator: Broncho-Vaxom treatment

Infants in this arm will be given 3,5mg bacterial lysate (OM-85) 10 days per month from 6 weeks after birth until 12 months of age.

At age 12 months they will be (if informed consent for Protea-2 is provided) randomised over Broncho-Vaxom treatment and placebo again.

Broncho-Vaxom is a bacterial extract comprising lyophilised fractions of 21 different inactivated bacterial strains, which are frequently causing RTI.

Andra namn:
  • OM-85
  • Broncho-Vaxom koncentrat (bakterielysat)
Placebo-jämförare: Placebo

Infants in this arm will be given a placebo powder from a capsule that will be indistinguishable from the active study drug.

Placebo powder from a capsule will be given, which will be indistinguishable from the active study drug.

Used analysis pipelines for the transcriptomics data will also be tracked and can be shared using a Github account.

All data shared will be pneudonymized.

Tidsram för IPD-delning

Data will come available after publication of the data in articles by initating researchers.
