Who may be able to join

  • Participant is willing to undergo confirmatory testing or must have had at least one of the following within 6 months of enrollment:
  • Documentation of milk-specific serum IgE >15 kIUA/L or > 5 kIUA/L if younger than 1 year.
  • Documented cow's milk skin prick test mean wheal >10mm

  • Participant had followed a strict cow's milk protein-free diet prior to enrollment.
  • Parent(s) confirm their intention not to administer any products containing cow's milk protein during the study.
  • Participant's parent(s) has voluntarily signed and dated an Informed Consent Form (ICF), approved by an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board (IEC/IRB) and provided Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) (or other applicable privacy regulation) authorization prior to any participation in the study.

Who cannot join

  • Participant is exclusively breastfed at the time of enrollment.
  • Participant is consuming an amino acid-based formula due to failure on an extensively hydrolyzed formula.
  • Significant chronic medical diseases including major chromosomal or congenital anomalies, gastrointestinal diseases or abnormalities other than CMA, immunodeficiencies, unstable asthma, asthma treated with biologics (omalizumab or other monoclonal antibody), FPIES, eosinophilic esophagitis, and severe uncontrolled eczema.
  • Previous severe anaphylactic reaction to cow's milk within the last two years.
  • An adverse medical history or current condition that is thought by the investigator to have potential for effects on tolerance or the hypoallergenicity test.
  • Participant has an allergy or intolerance to any ingredient in the study product, as reported by the parent.
  • Participant is routinely consuming baked milk products.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Experimental Extensively Hydrolyzed Formula in people with Cow's Milk Allergy, run by Abbott Nutrition at 4 sites in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 7 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 5 Jul 2022. 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 United States. 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: Product Availability Due to Recall). 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?

Food Challenge Positive Reactions (time frame: Food Challenge Day 1 to Food Challenge Day 2). 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 5 Jul 2022.
