About this study

Official title: Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Reference-controlled, Safety Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effects of Specific Lipid Fractions-enriched Infant Formulae in Infants Aged 0-4 Months

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, reference-controlled 4-month pilot safety study to evaluate the effects of specific lipid fractions-enriched infant formulae on growth of infants aged 0-4 months. The study will test the hypothesis that growth of infants fed the specific lipid fractions-enriched infant formulae will be noninferior to growth of infants fed standard infant formula.

Conditions

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard infant formula, Standard infant formula with PL1 and Standard infant formula with PL2 in people with Infant Growth, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 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 11 Apr 2014. 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, Italy. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

Mean weight gain (g/day) (time frame: Enrollment to age 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Apr 2014.
