Abstract

IntroductionChildren who are HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU), that is, children who do not acquire HIV infection despite being born to mothers with HIV, have a higher risk of mortality, infectious morbidity and growth deficits than children who are HIV-unexposed uninfected (HUU). Prior research has focused on breast feeding and has pointed to changes in human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) associated with maternal HIV that may influence the infant microbiome and thereby lead to these adverse outcomes. However, to our knowledge, no study has attempted to intervene along this pathway to reduce the occurrence of the adverse outcomes in children HEU. We will conduct a double-blind, randomised trial of a synbiotic intervention, which combines an HMO and probiotic, in breastfed infants HEU in South Africa to evaluate whether this intervention has promise to reduce excess infectious morbidity and growth faltering compared with controls.Methods and analysisOne hundred and forty-four breastfed infants HEU, aged 4 weeks, will be 1:1 randomised to receive either a daily synbiotic or an identical-looking placebo through age 24 weeks. Infants will be followed until age 48 weeks and outcomes of infectious morbidity, growth and biological measurements (eg, microbiota, inflammation and metabolome) will be assessed. Analyses will follow intention-to-treat principles comparing the cohorts as randomised. Infants HEU will be compared across arms with respect to the occurrence of infectious morbidity and growth outcomes through 4-24 weeks and 4-48 weeks using appropriate parametric and non-parametric statistical tests. Additionally, an observational cohort of 40 breastfed infants HUU will be recruited as a comparator group with no intervention.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval for this study has been obtained from the ethics committees at Columbia University and Stellenbosch University. The findings will be disseminated in publications.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05282485. SANCTR ID number: DOH-27-122021-6543.

9. Feasibility Study of a Powder-Based Supplement Intervention for a future Synbiotic Trial in Breastfed Children from South Africa.

Abstract

Background: Children who are HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU), i.e., born to mothers living with HIV despite not acquiring HIV infection themselves, have increased morbidity and mortality. Data suggests that the breastmilk profile, and more specifically human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) composition, differ by maternal HIV status and may partly help explain this increased risk. We are currently conducting an HMO-based synbiotic randomized trial in breastfed children HEU, the MIGH-T MO study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05282485), to assess the impact on health outcomes of children HEU. Here, we report our experience from a study of the feasibility and acceptability of a powder-based intervention given to breastfeeding children, conducted prior to the initiation of MIGH-T MO., Methods: 10 mothers living with HIV and their breastfeeding children HEU accessing care at Tygerberg Hospital, in Cape Town, South Africa were enrolled. A powder-based product, potato maltodextrin, was mixed with expressed breast milk and administered to the infants daily for 4 weeks. Data on feasibility, acceptability, adherence, and health outcomes were assessed at the enrollment visit and at the 4 week visit, along with weekly telephone calls., Results: 10 mother-infant pairs were enrolled in this study, with infant age ranging from 6-20 months of age. Among the mothers who met the eligibility criteria, all of them enrolled into the study suggesting high acceptability. While there was some Ioss-to-follow-up after the first visit, among the mothers who remained, there were no major feasibility concerns related to study procedures, product administration, adherence, tolerance, and health outcome assessment., Conclusion: Our pilot study demonstrated that a powder-based intervention for breastfeeding children HEU in South Africa is acceptable and feasible. This suggests potential feasibility and acceptability for other larger studies, including our ongoing MIGH-T MO study, that use similar powder-based interventions such as probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics, in breastfed infants from similar settings.
