  • Ages 1 month to 8 months
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: Full-term infants 1-8 months of age with symptoms suggestive of moderate-to-severe CMPA who have failed a trial of extensively hydrolyzed formula (EHF) of at least 2 weeks or who require amino acid formula as first line of treatment

Who may be able to join

  • Full term infant (37 weeks ≤ gestation ≤ 42 weeks)
  • 2500g ≤ birth weight ≤ 4500g
  • Having obtained written informed consent form the infant's parents or legally authorized representatives (LAR).
  • Infant aged between 1 and 8 months.
  • Exclusively formula-fed at time of enrolment; or CMPA infant receiving partial breastfeeding and infant's mother having independently elected before enrolment to exclusively formula feed.
  • Infants with physician-diagnosed CMPA as per standard clinical practice:

Who cannot join

  • Previous treatment with AAF > 72 hours
  • Known underlying medical condition that would impair growth (as per physician's assessment, e.g. unstable congenital heart disease, cystic fibrosis, metabolic disorder, chronic liver disease etc.)
  • Demonstrated chronic malabsorption which is not due to CMPA.
  • Other significant pre-natal and/or serious post-natal disease other than CMPA before enrolment (per investigator's medical decision).
  • Infants whose parents or caregivers who cannot give informed consent or who cannot be expected to comply with study procedures.
  • Treatment with systemic corticosteroids (oral or intravenous) for >72 hours within 4 weeks before enrolment (topical corticosteroids allowed)

About this study

Official title: Growth of Infants With Cow's Milk Allergy Fed an Amino Acid-based Formula Containing Two Human Milk Oligosaccharides: Comparison With World Health Organization (WHO) Growth Standards in an Observational, Single-arm Study

The main aim of this study is to provide longitudinal growth data in infants with moderate-to-severe cow's milk allergy fed an amino acid-based formula with two added human milk oligosaccharides.

Being tested
Food for Specific Medical Purpose

What participants receive

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

  • Food for Specific Medical PurposeOther

    Infants aged 1 to 8 months with moderate-to-severe cow's milk allergy fed an amino acid-based formula with two added human milk oligosaccharides

What is being measured

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

  1. The weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) compared with the WHO 2006 Child Growth Standard

    Weight gain will be measured in kg and converted to WAZ scores

    Measured: Comparison of baseline WAZ vs WAZ at 4 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Length-for-age Z-scores (LAZ) compared with the WHO 2006 Child Growth Standard

    Body length will be measured in cm and converted to LAZ scores

    Measured: 1, 2, 3, 4 months from baseline and at 12 months of age

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cow Milk Allergy, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 1 site in Australia.

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 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 21 Dec 2020. 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 Australia. 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?

The weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) compared with the WHO 2006 Child Growth Standard (time frame: Comparison of baseline WAZ vs WAZ at 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 21 Dec 2020.
