Efficacy of Striatin in Malnourished Children
Sponsor: Universitas Sriwijaya
Summary
This is a double-blind randomized-controlled clinical trial to identify the effect of Striatin (snakehead fish extract) supplementation in increasing body weight, improving acute inflammatory markers and microbiota profiles in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) treating with standard nutritional therapy. The main questions to answer are: Does Striatin supplementation effective in increasing body weight and improving acute inflammatory markers in SAM children? What are the adverse events of Striatin supplementation in SAM children? Researchers will compare Striatin supplementation and placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to identify the increase of body weight, improvement of acute inflammatory markers and microbiota profiles.
