About this study

Official title: Growth and Plasma Amino Acid Levels in Infants With Cow's Milk Protein Allergy and Treated With a Newly Innovated Amino Acid Formula (NAAF) Compared to a Commercial Amino Acid Formula (AAF)

The purpose of this study is to determine growth and protein status of infants with cow's milk protein allergy and treated with a newly innovated amino acid formula compared to those with a commercial amino acid formula.

Read the detailed description

Severe cases of cow's milk protein allergy are treated with the amino acid formula. The amino acid formula is composed of essential and non-essential amino acids, vegetable oils with or without MCT oil, and glucose polymer from various carbohydrate sources. Such formula is also fortified by minerals, trace elements,and vitamins.

Being tested
Comparison of treatment with different amino acid formulas

What is being measured

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

  1. Growth and protein status

    • compare body weight, length, head circumference, triceps skin fold thickness, mid-arm circumference, and arm muscle area between NAAF and AAF groups
    • compare plasma amino acids, serum albumin, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine between NAAF and AAF groups

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Growth

    • compare weight, length, head circumference, triceps skin fold thickness, mid-arm circumference, and arm muscle area between either NAAF group or AAF group and normal infants fed with either breast milk or infant formula.
    • compare plasma amino acids between either NAAF group or AAF group and normal published data

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cow Milk Allergy, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 and protein status (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT01637688, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 24 Mar 2023.
