E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
Preterm infants have an under-developed gastrointestinal tract. The final Insulin concentration obtained with NTRA-2112 is physiological and within the range present in human breast milk. |

|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
-To assess the effect of NTRA-2112 on number of days to achieve readiness to discharge (based on predefined criteria) from the hospital as compared to Placebo formulation. -To assess the effect of NTRA-2112 on the number of days to end gastric residuals over 3 ml during the treatment period as compared to Placebo formulation. -To assess the effect of NTRA-2112 on growth by assessing: the weight gain ,body length and head circumference in the preterm infants as compared to Placebo formulation - To assess the safety of NTRA-2112 for preterm infants as compared to Placebo formulation |
-Evaluar el efecto de NTRA-2112 en función del número de días necesarios para alcanzar las condiciones para el alta hospitalaria en comparación con la formulación de placebo. -Evaluar el efecto de NTRA-2112 en función del número de días necesarios para eliminar residuos gástricos superiores a 3 ml durante el período de tratamiento en comparación con la formulación de placebo. -Evaluar el efecto de NTRA-2112 en parámetros de crecimiento en comparación con la formulación de placebo. -Evaluar la seguridad de NTRA-2112 en los recién nacidos prematuros en comparación con la formulación de placebo. |
