Growth and Plasma Amino Acids in Infants With CMPA and Treated With a Newly Innovated Amino Acid Formula (CMPA)

March 22, 2023 updated by: Mahidol University

Growth and Plasma Amino Acid Levels in Infants With Cow's Milk Protein Allergy and Treated With a Newly Innovated Amino Acid Formula (NAAF) Compared to a Commercial Amino Acid Formula (AAF)

The purpose of this study is to determine growth and protein status of infants with cow's milk protein allergy and treated with a newly innovated amino acid formula compared to those with a commercial amino acid formula.

Study Overview

Status

Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Detailed Description

Severe cases of cow's milk protein allergy are treated with the amino acid formula. The amino acid formula is composed of essential and non-essential amino acids, vegetable oils with or without MCT oil, and glucose polymer from various carbohydrate sources. Such formula is also fortified by minerals, trace elements,and vitamins.
