Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 0 days to 3 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Infants and children aged up to 3 years.
  • Diagnosed with cow's milk allergy (or re-confirmed), within two months prior to the study (challenge day #1), by:
  • Physician-supervised double-blind oral food challenge; or
  • Physician-supervised open oral food challenge that elicited objective immediate allergic reactions; or
  • 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).
  • Willing to switch to a different hypoallergenic formula
Show all 9Show fewer
  • 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).
  • Expected minimal consumption of 144ml of test product/day during the open challenge.
  • Written informed consent provided by parents/guardians, according to local law.

Who cannot join

  • 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).
  • Diagnosis or known allergy to any of the ingredients in the test product.
  • 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.
  • (Twin / triplet) sibling of an infant/child already participating in the study.
  • Investigator's uncertainty about the willingness or ability of the subject and his/her parents to comply with the protocol requirements.
  • Participation in any other studies involving investigational or marketed products concomitantly or within two weeks prior to entry into the study.
  • Employees and/or children/family members or relatives of employees of Nutricia Research or the participating study sites.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hydrolyzed protein infant formula and commercially available hypoallergenic infant formula in people with Cow's Milk Allergy, run by Nutricia Research at 1 site in Italy.

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 7 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Hypoallergenicity (time frame: 25-35 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 May 2024.
