Study Overview

Official Title: Randomized Controlled Trial of Parenteral Glutamine Supplementation for Extremely-Low-Birth-Weight ELBW Infants

Acronym: Glutamine
Brief Summary: This large multicenter double-masked clinical trial tested whether supplementation of standard neonatal parenteral nutrition with glutamine would reduce the risk of death or late-onset sepsis in extremely-low-birth-weight ELBW less than or equal to 1000 gm infants Neonates with birth weights of 401-1000gm were randomized to standard TrophAmine or TrophAmine supplemented with glutamine before 72 hours and continued until the infants are tolerating full enteral feedings
Detailed Description: Meeting the protein and energy requirements of extremely premature infants in early postnatal life requires early hyperalimentation and the gradual introduction of enteral feedings Glutamine which is the most abundant amino acid in the human body and taken up in greatest quantity by the fetus from the placenta is not routinely provided in neonatal parenteral nutrition preparations

This large multicenter double-masked clinical trial tested whether supplementation of standard neonatal parenteral nutrition with glutamine would reduce the risk of death or late-onset sepsis in extremely-low-birth-weight ELBW less than or equal to 1000 gm infants Neonates with birth weights of 401-1000gm were randomized to standard TrophAmine or TrophAmine supplemented with glutamine before 72 hours and continued until the infants are tolerating full enteral feedings

Infants received a neurodevelopmental assessment by masked certified examiners at 18-22 months postmenstrual age
