Could a missing milk compound save tiny Babies' guts and brains?

NCT ID NCT06547424

Summary

This early-stage study aimed to test the safety of a supplement called chondroitin sulfate for treating a severe intestinal disease (NEC) in premature, low-birth-weight babies. Researchers wanted to see if this compound, which is found in human breast milk but not most formulas, could help control the disease, reduce the need for surgery, and improve long-term brain development. The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
