About this study

The main purpose of this study was to observe the effect of amino acid formula on infants with cow's milk protein allergy; to evaluate the role of food avoidance and Open Food Challenge test in the diagnosis of infants with cow's milk protein allergy; to observe the allergic process in infants with cow's milk protein allergy and to explore the criteria for diagnosis and treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, prospective cohort study. This study plans to recruit 200 subjects. The suitable subject will be enrolled and there are seven visits through the 6-month study. Efficacy parameters are the positive incidence of open food challenge test, growth and development index (Weight, Height, Head circumference;), and the improvement of CMPA symptoms (such as SCORAD, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory, comfort scores).

What is being measured

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

  1. Negative rate of open food challenge test

    Negative rate =The subjects number with negative results of open food challenge test/total subject number with open food challenge test Unit:% Negative rate range: 0-100% High negative rate indicates the immune tolerance of CMPA infant using AAF

    Measured: From baseline to AAF feeding for 6 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. WAZ(weight for age Z score)

    Z-scores of anthropometric parameters from baseline on weight=Average(The difference between the measured infant weight and the reference infant weight of the same age and sex/the reference infant weight standard deviation) The increase of WAZ indicated that AAF could promote growth and development.

    Measured: From baseline to AAF feeding for 6 months

  2. HAZ(height for age Z score)

    Z-scores of anthropometric parameters from baseline on height=Average(The difference between the measured infant height and the reference infant height of the same age and sex/the reference infant height standard deviation) The increase of HAZ indicated that AAF could promote growth and development.

    Measured: From baseline until AAF feeding for 6 months

  3. HCAZ(head circumference for age Z score)

    Z-scores of anthropometric parameters from baseline on head circumference=Average(The difference between the measured infant head circumference and the reference infant head circumference of the same age and sex/the reference infant head circumference standard deviation) The increase of HCAZ indicated that AAF could promote growth and development.

    Measured: From baseline to AAF feeding for 6 months

  4. SCORAD score

    An SCORAD evaluation scale was evaluated by the investigator at each visit

    Measured: From baseline to AAF feeding for 6 months

  5. Gastrointestinal symptom score

    An Gastrointestinal symptom evaluation scale was evaluated by the investigator at each visit

    Measured: From baseline to AAF feeding for 6 months

  6. Respiratory symptom score

    An Respiratory symptom evaluation scale was evaluated by the investigator at each visit

    Measured: From baseline to AAF feeding for 6 months

  7. Comfort symptom score

    An Comfort symptom evaluation scale was evaluated by the investigator at each visit

    Measured: From baseline to AAF feeding for 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cow's Milk Protein Allergy, run by Peking University Third Hospital.

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 5 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 6 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Negative rate of open food challenge test (time frame: From baseline to AAF feeding for 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 6 Sep 2019.
