Preventing Malnutrition in Infants: Comparing Two Nutrient Supplement Amounts
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a small or medium amount of a special nutrient supplement can help prevent malnutrition in babies 6–12 months old. It is for families already in a support program (BISP/BNP) and aims to find the best dose to keep children healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 months and 7.5 months old (26–33 weeks).
- Your family must be getting support from the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and be registered with the Benazir Nashonuma Programme (BNP) during your pregnancy.
- Your child should not be moderately or severely malnourished (based on weight-for-length and arm measurements).
- Your child should not have any long-term health conditions that affect growth or feeding (like cerebral palsy or heart disease).
- Your child is not already receiving other special nutrition supplements or enrolled in another research study.
- You must plan to stay in the area for at least the next 6 months and agree to the study consent.
