The Effect of Probiotics in Infantile Colic (CSUB0214)
Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study to Evaluate the Effect of L. Reuteri on Crying and Fussing Time in Infants With Infantile Colic
Academic, independent, non-commercial, multicenter study sponsored by the Department of Translational Medical Sciences (DISMET), University of Naples Federico II. The study evaluates whether daily oral supplementation with L reuteri reduces crying and fussing time more rapidly than an indistinguishable placebo in otherwise healthy infants with Rome IV infantile colic.

Detaillierte Beschreibung
Eligible participants will meet the clinical description for having infant colic. Participants will be assessed for eligibility at the screening visit and must meet all specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on screening examinations, the individual Family Pediatrician (PLS) is solely responsible for determining clinical eligibility and making the final enrollment decision, which will be documented on the Participant Screening and Enrolment Log. The Scientific Coordinator will exclusively monitor aggregate screening logs and enrollment targets across all active sites, without direct involvement in the clinical selection. Fifty infants will be randomized 1:1 to probiotic or placebo. Each participant will complete a 7-day run-in, 21 days of treatment and 7 days of safety follow-up.
