  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Having obtained his/her parents' (or his/her legally accepted representative's [LAR's]) written informed consent and having evidence of personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the infant's parents/LAR have been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.
  • Age ≤ 14 days after birth (date of birth = Day 0).
  • Full-term gestational birth (≥ 37 and ≤ 42 weeks).
  • Weight at birth ≥ 2500 g and ≤ 4200 g
  • Born to mothers with (normal) pre-pregnancy BMI ≥ 18.5 to < 26 kg/m2.
  • For formula-fed infants: born to mothers who independently elected, before study enrollment, not to breastfeed, but having received any HM is permitted (not applicable for infants in the HM-fed group)
Show all 9Show fewer
  • For HM-fed infants: mothers intend to provide breast milk until age 6 months
  • Infant's parent(s)/LAR is of legal age of consent, has sufficient command of the French language to complete the informed consent and other study documents, and is willing and able to fulfill the requirements of the study protocol.
  • Infant's parent(s)/LAR is able to be contacted directly by telephone throughout the study.

Who cannot join

  • Born to mothers with hormonal or metabolic disease (e.g. Type-1, Type-2, or gestational diabetes diagnosed according to standardized criteria).
  • Born to mothers who smoked > 10 cigarettes per day during pregnancy.
  • Born to mothers who used illicit drugs (e.g. marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, or heroin) or alcohol (> 3 alcoholic beverages per week) during pregnancy.
  • Cognitive or physical developmental disorders (e.g., malabsorptive disorders such as short bowel syndrome; neurological and congenital disorders that may delay growth such as cerebral palsy, agenesis of the corpus callosum, spina bifida, Down syndrome, Cri Du Chat; disorders that may lead to obesity such as Prader Willi syndrome, Angelman syndrome; other renal, hepatic, pancreatic, or cardiovascular disorders).
  • Participation in any other clinical trial prior to enrollment.
  • Infants or infant's family who in the Investigator's judgment cannot be expected to comply with the protocol or study procedures.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Growth velocity (weight gain in g/day) of healthy term formula-fed infants during the first 6 months

    compared to the WHO reference standards or to the human milk (HM)-fed comparator group.

    Measured: 6 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Formula feeding regimen in people with Growth, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 6 sites in France.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France. 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. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Growth velocity (weight gain in g/day) of healthy term formula-fed infants during the first 6 months (time frame: 6 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03276663, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Jul 2020.
