Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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.

Detailed Description

The study consists of a double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge, followed by a single arm open challenge.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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 second to 3 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Infants and children aged up to 3 years.

  2. Diagnosed with cow's milk allergy (or re-confirmed), within two months prior to the study (challenge day #1), by:

    1. Physician-supervised double-blind oral food challenge; or
    2. Physician-supervised open oral food challenge that elicited objective immediate allergic reactions; or
    3. Report of convincing allergic reaction to cow's milk or a milk-containing food product, in conjunction with presence of milk-specific serum Immunoglobuline E (IgE) level > 0.7 kilounit per liter (U/L) or by skin prick test (wheal size ≥ 3mm).
  3. Willing to switch to a different hypoallergenic formula
  4. On elimination diet (commercially available, hypoallergenic infant formula ) and free of clinical symptoms, or with controlled stable symptoms, for at least one week preceding the study (challenge day #1).
  5. Expected minimal consumption of 144ml of test product/day during the open challenge.
  6. Written informed consent provided by parents/guardians, according to local law.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Infants/children who are more suitable to use AAF as first-line formula, including but not limited to those with high risk of anaphylaxis (prior history of anaphylaxis and currently not using eHF) or severe forms of non-IgE-mediated CMA such as eosinophilic oesophagitis, enteropathies, or Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES).
  2. Diagnosis or known allergy to any of the ingredients in the test product.
  3. Congenital anomalies which will interfere with oral feeding or gastrointestinal tract, other chronic diseases (including but not limited to cardiovascular disease, malignancy, hepatic disease, renal disease, haematological disease, neurological disease, immunological and endocrine disease), major gastrointestinal disease/abnormalities, or any other medical condition that could interfere with the identification of allergic reactions.
  4. (Twin / triplet) sibling of an infant/child already participating in the study.
  5. Investigator's uncertainty about the willingness or ability of the subject and his/her parents to comply with the protocol requirements.
  6. Participation in any other studies involving investigational or marketed products concomitantly or within two weeks prior to entry into the study.
  7. Employees and/or children/family members or relatives of employees of Nutricia Research or the participating study sites.

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
Hypoallergenicity
Time Frame: 25-35 days
The percentage of children tolerating the formula tested by double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge and a subsequent open challenge.
25-35 days

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.
