A Randomized Controlled Non-Inferiority Trial with Blinded Outcome Assessment and Sensory Evaluation of a Sustainable and Locally Produced Ready-To-Use Therapeutic Food
REFNo: A709ES
The proposed randomized controlled non-inferiority trial with blinded outcome assessment and sensory assessment study aims to determine whether a sustainable Locally Produced RUTF (NutriMAS), formulated from locally available cereal and legume ingredients, is clinically effective and sensorially acceptable compared with the currently used SR-RUTF among children aged 6–59 months in Northern Uganda.
Specific Objectives
1.To compare the therapeutic effectiveness of the LP-RUTF (NutriMAS) with the SR-RUTF (RUTFUNICEF/NGO formulation) using programmatically relevant clinical outcomes.
2.To evaluate the safety and tolerability of NutriMAS in comparison with the UNICEF/NGO formulation.
3.To assess the sensory acceptability of NutriMAS versus the UNICEF/NGO formulation in terms ofappearance, flavour, taste, texture, and overall liking among children and caregivers.
