Trial summary

Otherwise healthy infants (1-12 months of age at the diagnosis) with CMA were prospectively evaluated. Patients with cow's milk protein-induced anaphylaxis, eosinophilic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, and food protein induced enterocolitic syndrome were excluded. Read more about this study

  • Ages 1 month to 12 months
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: We prospectively evaluated otherwise healthy infants (1-12 months of age at the diagnosis) visit one the Pediatric Gastroenterology and Allergology Centre because of the necessity of a diagnostic oral food challenge for cow's milk proteins. Children were in stable clinical condition without signs of CMA already on exclusion diet with an hypoallergenic formula for a period of 7-15 days as presented by the general paediatrician, immediately the symptoms appear and before being attended at the Center for diagnosis of CMA.

Who may be able to join

  • Otherwise healthy infants (1-12 months of age at the diagnosis) with cow's milk allergy were prospectively evaluated

Who cannot join

  • Patients with cow's milk protein-induced anaphylaxis, eosinophilic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, and food protein induced enterocolitic syndrome were excluded.

About this study

Otherwise healthy infants (1-12 months of age at the diagnosis) with CMA were prospectively evaluated. Patients with cow's milk protein-induced anaphylaxis, eosinophilic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, and food protein induced enterocolitic syndrome were excluded. A food challenge was performed 6 and 12 months after the diagnosis to assess clinical tolerance acquisition. Main demographic and clinical characteristics were collected for each patient.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the effect of different dietotherapeutic approaches on the time of tolerance acquisition in children with cow's milk allergy

    . Otherwise healthy infants (1-12 months of age at the diagnosis) with CMA were prospectively evaluated. Patients with cow's milk protein-induced anaphylaxis, eosinophilic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, and food protein induced enterocolitic syndrome were excluded. A food challenge was performed 6 and 12 months after the diagnosis to assess clinical tolerance acquisition. Main demographic and clinical characteristics were collected for each patient.

    Measured: about 4 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cow's Milk Allergy, run by Federico II University.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 6 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

the effect of different dietotherapeutic approaches on the time of tolerance acquisition in children with cow's milk allergy (time frame: about 4 year). 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 NCT01634490, 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 6 Jul 2012.
