Iron and choline for babies with low iron
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving iron and choline (a nutrient important for brain development) can improve brain health in babies with low iron. It is for 5- to 7-month-olds who are still breastfeeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is between 5 and 7 months old
- Your baby has low iron levels (hemoglobin below 11.0 g/dL and ZPP 80 or higher)
- Your baby does not have a fever (temperature below 37.5°C), has tested negative for malaria, and you (the mother) are HIV-negative
- Your baby does not have severe malnutrition, sickle cell disease, a brain condition, or a developmental disorder

This study looks at whether iron deficiency anemia affects how babies and toddlers (6 to 24 months old) develop their thinking, learning, and behavior. It compares children who have iron-deficiency anemia with those who do not, to help doctors understand the impact on early brain development.
This trial tests whether taking extra choline (a nutrient similar to B vitamins) during pregnancy can improve health for mothers and babies. You may be eligible if you are early in a singleton pregnancy and do not drink alcohol.
This study tests whether giving iron supplements 4 times a week is better than daily iron for premature babies. It aims to improve hemoglobin levels at 6 months.
This study tests whether giving iron to infants with low iron levels improves their response to malaria and measles vaccines. It may help protect babies from these diseases.
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving a specific IV iron (darbe plus IV iron) can help preterm babies need fewer blood transfusions while still keeping their iron levels in a safe range. It focuses on babies in the NICU who were born early, and it compares transfusion use and iron sufficiency over time.
