This is a randomised, controlled, open-label intervention study. It is hypothesized that supplementation with a fibre enriched sip feed will improve the nutritional status, gut microbiota and quality of life (QOL) of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and may enhance their immune response. This could give them a better chance to finish their induction chemotherapy successfully with fewer side effects.

Study objectives:

Primary objective:

To evaluate the effect of oral supplementation with a fibre supplemented paediatric sip feed on the nutritional status of Egyptian children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) compared to standard dietary counseling.

Secondary objective:

To evaluate the effect of oral supplementation with a fibre supplemented paediatric sip feed on the gut microbiota and quality of life (QoL) of Egyptian children with ALL compared to standard dietary counseling.
