About this study

A double blind, controlled, randomized, single site clinical trial of 2 parallel groups (Low protein formula =LoF and High protein formula =HiF) with a breastfeeding group (BF) as reference from birth to 1 year of age and a follow up period from 1 year to 5 years of age.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to show that infants taking (from birth) either a formula with a low protein content (LoF) or breast milk will have an IGF-1 level, at 4 months, 25% lower to the IGF-1 measured in infants that received a high protein content formula (HiF).

The secondary objectives are: The hormonal profile; the Fat mass (FM) gain and the Lean mass (LM); the metabolomics and aminogramm during the first year of life.

Subjects are included in the study for a duration of 5 years. From birth to 4 months they are exclusively fed BF or FF. From 4 months of age they can start diversification, but they maintain the starter formulas until 12 months (the BF group will receive LoF). Subjects are then followed up until 5 years of age.

What is being measured

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

  1. Analysis of IGF-1 value

    Analyse the IGF-1 value and compare it

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Hormonal profile analysis (Insulin, C-peptide, Glucose, octanoyl ghrelin, Leptin and IGF-1)

    The following markers will be measured: Insulin, C-peptide, Glucose, octanoyl ghrelin, Leptin and IGF-1 (IGF-1 at 4 months constitutes the primary outcome of this trial).

    Measured: 2 weeks, 4 months and 12 months

  2. DEXA scan as a measure of the body composition

    Measure of the Fat Mass (FM) gain and at the variations in Lean Mass (LM) during the first year of age.

    Measured: 2 weeks, 4 months and 12 months

  3. aminogramm analysis

    amino acids analysis

    Measured: 2 weeks, 4 months and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low protein formula and High protein formula in people with Healthy, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 1 site 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 4 Nov 2014. 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 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.

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?

Analysis of IGF-1 value (time frame: 4 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 NCT02282488, 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 4 Nov 2014.
