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.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 month to 8 months (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

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

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Full term infant (37 weeks ≤ gestation ≤ 42 weeks)
  2. 2500g ≤ birth weight ≤ 4500g
  3. Having obtained written informed consent form the infant's parents or legally authorized representatives (LAR).
  4. Infant aged between 1 and 8 months.
  5. 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.
  6. Infants with physician-diagnosed CMPA as per standard clinical practice:

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Previous treatment with AAF > 72 hours
  2. 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.)
  3. Demonstrated chronic malabsorption which is not due to CMPA.
  4. Other significant pre-natal and/or serious post-natal disease other than CMPA before enrolment (per investigator's medical decision).
  5. Infants whose parents or caregivers who cannot give informed consent or who cannot be expected to comply with study procedures.
  6. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids (oral or intravenous) for >72 hours within 4 weeks before enrolment (topical corticosteroids allowed)
  7. Infants taking probiotic preparations for > 72 hour within 4 weeks before enrolment
  8. Currently participating or having participated in another clinical trial since birth.

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
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
Weight gain will be measured in kg and converted to WAZ scores
Comparison of baseline WAZ vs WAZ at 4 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Length-for-age Z-scores (LAZ) compared with the WHO 2006 Child Growth Standard
Time Frame: 1, 2, 3, 4 months from baseline and at 12 months of age
Body length will be measured in cm and converted to LAZ scores
1, 2, 3, 4 months from baseline and at 12 months of age

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Head circumference (HCAZ) compared with the WHO 2006 Child Growth Standard
Time Frame: 1, 2, 3, 4 months from baseline and at 12 months of age
Head circumference will be measured in cm converted to HCAZ scores
1, 2, 3, 4 months from baseline and at 12 months of age
Monitoring of CMPA-related symptoms
Time Frame: 1, 2, 3 and 4 months from baseline and at 12 months of age
CMPA-related symptoms will be documented by the study physician on data collection forms
1, 2, 3 and 4 months from baseline and at 12 months of age
Faecal microbial composition
Time Frame: Enrolment,1, 2, 3 and 4 months from treatment start and also at 12 months of age
Faecal samples will be collected before and after the study formula ingestion
Enrolment,1, 2, 3 and 4 months from treatment start and also at 12 months of age
Product compliance
Time Frame: 1, 2, 3 and 4 months from baseline and at 12 months of age
Daily quantity consumed (mL) will be recorded for the 3 days preceding each visit in a diary given to the parent or caregiver
1, 2, 3 and 4 months from baseline and at 12 months of age

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
April 12, 2018

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
