About this study

Official title: Growth and Tolerance in New Born Fed Formula Supplemented With Alpha-Lactalbumin and Containing a Symbiotic

The purpose of the study is to assess growth and tolerance in new born and infant fed an experimental infant formula with reduced total protein concentration, enriched in alpha-lactalbumin and containing a symbiotic.

Read the detailed description

This prospective, randomized, double blind, controlled study evaluated the safety and effect on growth and tolerance to an infant formula supplemented with alpha-lactalbumin and containing a symbiotic, in term infants.

Term infants with a gestational age ranging from 37 to 42 weeks and whose parents chose formula feeding were enrolled during their first eight days of life.

Both parents provided informed written consent. Infants were randomly assigned to receive either the new test formula or a control, a regular formula adapted for term infants (Modilac®1). The control formula is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of infants.

For each neonates, neonatal parameters were collected.

5 visits took place : V1 (inclusion), V2 (randomization), V3 (1 month), V4 (3 months) and V5 (6 months). During each visit, the investigator filled in observational book the anthropometric parameters (weight, height, head circumference, BMI) and pieces of information collected 3 days before by the parents (gastrointestinal tolerance parameters, daily infant behaviour and milk consumption). Global parents' contentment was evaluated as well.

In two investigation centers, at the end of the 6th month, immuno-allergic test was realised.

Stools were collected at the end of the first and sixth month from diapers, for microbiological analysis and measurements of faecal inflammatory markers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pétunia 1 and Regular formula in people with Growth, run by Sodilac at 4 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Growth Parameters (time frame: 1, 3 and 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00920166, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jun 2009.
