Evaluation of Hypoallergenicity of an Amino Acid-Based Infant Formula
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether a new amino acid-based
formula is hypoallergenic as defined by the American Academy of Pediatrics (2000),
demonstrating that the test formula does not provoke allergenic activity in 90% of infants
or children with confirmed cow's milk allergy (CMA) with 95% confidence as compared to a
commercially available hypoallergenic formula.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Born at term (>36 weeks gestation)
- 2 months to ≤12 years of age at enrollment
- Documented CMA within 6 months prior to enrollment
- Otherwise healthy
- Asthma, atopic dermatitis and/or rhinitis must be well-controlled, if applicable
- Expected daily intake of at least 8 oz (240ml) of the study formula during the open
challenge phase
- Having obtained his/her legal representative's informed consent
Exclusion:
- Children consuming mother's milk at the time of inclusion and during the trial
- Any chromosomal or major congenital anomalies
- Any major gastrointestinal disease or abnormalities other than CMA
- Chronic medical diseases (ie seizure disorders, chronic lung disease, heart problems
(heart murmurs okay)
- Immunodeficiency
- Anti-histamine use in 7 days prior to the first food challenge (eyedrops are
permitted)
- Oral steroid use within 14 days prior to enrollment (intranasal and topical
corticosteroid use are permitted)
- Unstable asthma
- Severe uncontrolled eczema
- Severe anaphylactic reaction to milk within the last 2 years
- Severe anaphylactic reaction to breastmilk within the last 2 years
- Subject who in the Investigator's assessment cannot be expected to adhere to the
study protocol
