Prenatal Administration of Oral Spermine Promotes Maturation of Premature Fetal Gut Epithelial Tight Junction: Experimental Study on Oryctolagus Cuniculus
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Spermine for Premature Birth and NEC. Completed, enrolled 42 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Infections, particularly on the gastrointestinal tract, has been known to be one of the leading causes of death in preterm infants. This is due to the immaturity of the intestinal epithelial cells. Recent studies have shown that polyamines have a role on the development of cells during embryonal phase. By this experimental study, the investigators would like to evaluate the administration of spermine on the maturation of premature fetal gut epithelial tight junction.
