Microbiome-Directed Food for Sustained Recovery From Acute Malnutrition
Sponsor: Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Sante, Burkina Faso
Summary
The goal of this experimental study is to test the efficacy of a new formulation - The microbiome-directed food (MDF) to treat acute malnutrition among children aged 6 to 23 months. The main questions are: * Does treating children with moderate or severe uncomplicated malnutrition using MDF leads to higher programmatic recovery rate compared to standard of care ? * Does treating children with moderate or severe uncomplicated malnutrition using MDF leads to higher sustained recovery rate compared to standard of care ? The MDF will be compared to Ready-to-use supplementary food (RUSF) for moderately malnourished children, and to Ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) for severely malnourished children to see the effects on recovery and sustained recovery rate.
