NCT ID NCT07029282
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a new multivitamin supplement (MMS Plus) given during pregnancy and after birth can improve infant health and growth compared to standard multivitamins or iron/folic acid. About 3,000 pregnant women in Pakistan will take the supplements and be followed until their babies are 6 months old. The goal is to reduce complications like stillbirth, preterm birth, and poor growth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS Plus, standard MMS, and iron/folic acid)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better prenatal and postnatal supplement to reduce infant deaths and improve growth in low-resource settings.
What could go wrong
This is a large phase 3 trial, but results may not apply to other populations. The supplements are generally safe, but individual allergies or intolerances are possible.
