Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Formulaid: Supplementation with ARA and DHA
MCT-oil: Supplementation with medium chain fatty acids
Study summary
The primary objective of this double-blind randomized study is to assess the effects of an early, enhanced supply of the essential fatty acids (FAs) arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on brain maturation, clinical outcomes and quality of growth in immature infants (gestational age \<29 weeks) as compared to standard nutrient supply.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Brain maturation assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) — 40 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA)
MRI with spectroscopy (MRS) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) will be used to examine myelinisation and quantification of anatomical structures as well as neuronal integrity and inflammation
