NiPPeR Randomised Trial - Child Follow Up Study

Study Purpose

There is an increasing focus on the need to optimise nutrition, lifestyle and metabolism of parents before and during pregnancy and of the infant after birth, but as yet there is limited understanding of the specific influences and of the underlying mechanisms. This study is a follow up of children from the NiPPeR trial of a nutritional drink enriched with micronutrients, myo-inositol and probiotics taken preconception and during pregnancy. In this setting we will examine the influence of parental nutrition, lifestyle and metabolism before and during pregnancy on child growth, development and well-being; ascertaining growth, adiposity, metabolism, neurobehavioural and health outcomes in the children, and characterising the underlying mechanisms. The data collected will allow identification of the contributions of parental and offspring characteristics, nutritional, lifestyle and medical factors, social and economic status, ethnicity, genetics, metabolism and microbes to promoting healthy growth, body composition and wellbeing in the children.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05934422
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
