Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 10 months
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects up to 10 months old with clinical history of a reaction to cow's milk protein and/or confirmed diagnosis (up to grade II anaphylaxis) of allergy to cow's milk protein by one of the following criteria, within two months prior to the baseline visit are eligible to enter the study:
  • Negative or positive skin prick tests ( fresh milk, rice, casein hydrolysates)
  • Negative or positive specific IgE for cow's milk proteins (alphalactalbumine, betalactoglobuline, caseine and cow's milk)
  • Negative or positive Milk Atopy Patch Test

  • Apgar SCORE >7 at 5 minutes
  • Singleton birth
  • Birth weight ≥2.500 g
  • Written informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Previous signs of allergy to any extensively hydrolysed formula
  • Confirmed history of acute severe, potentially life threatening reaction after isolated accidental ingestion of cow's milk e.g. history of anaphylactic reaction, graded more or equal to grade III, as this could not be compatible with an allocation to the eHF group

About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial Evaluating the Effects on Growth, Safety and Tolerance of a Rice Protein Hydrolysate Formula Compared to a Cow's Milk Extensively Hydrolysed Protein Formula in Infants With Cow's Milk Protein Allergy

This is a multicenter, controlled, randomized, prospective, non-inferiority, double blind intervention trial to evaluate the children growth (at 6, 9 and 12 months) using a rice hydrolysed protein formula compared to an extensively cow's milk protein hydrolysed formula for the management of Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA).

Read the detailed description

The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the rice protein hydrolysed based formula manufactured by Ordesa ensures proper growth and as secondary outcomes, that the formula is devoid of any risk of arsenic or other potential contaminants toxicity and its effect on the duration of CMA (Cow Milk Allergy) from cow's milk protein allergy.

Being tested
HRF, eHF
Medical subject headings
Milk Hypersensitivity

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HRFOther

    Also called HRF-1 from 0 to 6 months of age, HRF-2 from 6 months of age onwards

    The subject will take the formula for a period of 12 months.

  • eHFOther

    Also called eHF-1 from 0 to 6 months of age, eHF-2 from 6 months of age onwards

    The subject will take the formula for a period of 12 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Growing change

    To evaluate the children growth using a rice hydrolysed protein formula compared to an extensively cow's milk protein hydrolysed formula for the management of CMPA.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Nutritional adequacy

    To monitor nutritional adequacy in terms of anthropometrics and proteic status.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Contaminants

    To monitor the presence of possible contaminants in urine and hair samples coming from both infant formula groups (only in children exclusively or predominantly formula fed; ideally recruited from 0 to 6 months). Moreover the presence of possible contaminants will be evaluated also in powder formula and formula from baby bottles (only in 12 patients, randomly chosen).

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Tolerance acquisition to cow's milk protein measured by a cow milk OFC (Open Food Challenge)

    To evaluate the acquisition of tolerance between both groups.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HRF and eHF in people with Cow's Milk Allergy, run by Laboratorios Ordesa at 5 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 10 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Spain, 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. 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 was stopped early (reason given: recruitment longer than expected and without the expected success). 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?

Growing change (time frame: 6 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 18 Jul 2019.
