Active clinical trials for "Malnutrition"

The research seeks to determine the relative effectiveness and cost effectiveness of alternative supplementary foods in the treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in normal program settings. The results of this study will guide decisions about what commodities to use in supplementary feeding programs in particular contexts and populations, and what factors need to be addressed to ensure maximum effectiveness in the treatment of moderate malnutrition. Tufts University, Washington University in St. Louis, School of Medicine, Sierra Leone Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS), Project Peanut Butter, Caritas Bo, World Food Programme (WFP), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) are collaborating to conduct an assessment of the effectiveness, cost, and cost-effectiveness of food aid commodities in treating moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in young children. The study comparison is based on a targeted food delivery to children 6-59 months who are screened for MAM. Study participants will receive one of four approximately isoenergetic test foods: Super Cereal Plus (SC+) with amylase Corn-soy Blend Plus (CSB+) and fortified vegetable oil Corn-soy Whey Blend (CSWB) and fortified vegetable oil (CSWB is a new product which is a modified version of CSB) Ready-to-use Supplementary Food (RUSF, lipid-based)

This study were to compare the relative bioavailability of Duloxetine HCl delayed release capsule 60 mg with that of 'CYMBALTA®' delayed release capsule 60 mg (Duloxetine HCl delayed release capsule 60 mg) in healthy, adult, human subjects under fed conditions and to monitor safety of subjects

The study is an unblinded randomized trial, designed to examine whether gastric- or jejunal feeding tubes are the most effect full to feed patients with alcoholic liver diseases and non-sufficient oral intake. The primary outcome will be differences in nutrition intake between the groups. Secondary outcomes will be: the amount of unplanned tube discontinuations; handgrip and patients' quality of life, nausea & vomiting. The study will include 40 patients at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark.

This project aims to assess the efficacy of three options under consideration in India for home management of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM). The investigators propose to conduct a multi-center randomized controlled trial to determine the efficacy of two community-supported home-based regimes using centrally or locally produced Ready to Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTF) for recovery from uncomplicated SAM after 16 weeks of management, compared with an augmented home-prepared foods regimen. The trial will enroll 911 children with uncomplicated SAM and will have enough statistical power to detect a 15% or greater difference in recovery rates between either one of the intervention groups compared with comparison group.

Around 0.5 million under-five children are currently suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in Bangladesh and are at risk of death. Children with SAM and complications should be treated in a health care facility. It is imperative, however, to manage children with SAM but without any complications in the community. This requires a ready-to-use-therapeutic food (RUTF) that conforms to standard recommendations on its composition. The prototype RUTF is peanut based, made outside Bangladesh, and has to be imported. By developing a RUTF using local food ingredients, test it for acceptability and efficacy in the treatment of children with SAM, hopefully make the treatment of SAM cost-effective and sustainable. Hypothesis: Does the locally developed ready-to-use-therapeutic foods (RUTFs) demonstrate similar or better acceptability and efficacy in the treatment of children suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) when compared to the prototype RUTF (Plumpynut)?

To test whether a ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids (RUTF-P) is as effective for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) as standard RUTF.

This is a single-dose, Randomized, two-period,cross over pivotal study. The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence between Test Product and the corresponding Reference Product under fed condition in normal, healthy, adult, human subjects.

The purpose of this study is to assess the single dose bioequivalence of Ondansetron ODFS 8mg with Zofran ODT® (Containing Ondansetron 8 mg) in healthy, male and female adult, human study participants under fed conditions. The purpose is to monitor clinical status, adverse events, laboratory investigations and to assess relative safety and tolerance of ondansetron formulations under fed conditions.

The purpose of this study is To compare the single oral dose bioavailability of test product, Trandolapril 4 mg Tablets of Dr. Reddy's and Mavik® 4 mg Tablet of Abbott Laboratories, in healthy, adult, human subjects, under fed conditions to assess bioequivalence. To monitor adverse events and ensure safety of subjects.

This study aims to investigate the efficacy of high energy, low volume oral nutritional supplements (ONS) compared to equivalent standard ONS (control) to maximize nutrient intake, compliance, gastro intestinal tolerance and function, in participants at risk of malnutrition.
