Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary study endpoint is the proportion of the infants who develop oral tolerance to cow’s milk.
Secondary outcome
1. Maturation of the GI (immune) system in cow’s milk allergic infants;
2. Effectiveness of the study product in the dietary management of CMA/food allergy;
3. Frequency of other allergies (non-food).
Background summary
This study is initiated to evaluate the immunological benefits and clinical effects of an elimination diet using an amino acid formula with an added pre-probiotic blend in infants with Cow’s Milk Allergy.
The parents/guardians of infants with a (likely) diagnosis of IgE-mediated CMA will be provided with information about the study by the investigating centre and invited to take part. At Screening, data on the subject’s characteristics, medical history, medications used and feeding history will be collected. Clinical assessment to rate allergy symptoms will be performed.
The parents/guardian will be provided with and advised on the use of the study product. Parents/guardians of subjects will be asked about acceptance and tolerance of formula. Subjects will take the study product for 12 months with visits to the clinic at 6 and 12 months. At these clinic visits, a clinical assessment and rating of allergic symptoms will be recorded. At completion of the 12 month intervention, subjects will transfer to an age appropriate formula and be followed-up at 24 and 36 months. At these clinic visits, a clinical assessment, rating of allergic symptoms and incidence of other non-food allergy symptoms during the past year will be recorded.

2. Infants less than 37 weeks gestation and requires specific premature formula at the time of study entry;
3. Infants with severe concurrent illness;
4. Use of anti- histamines in the 4 days preceding study entry;
5. Use of systemic corticosteroids in the 4 weeks preceding study entry and not willing to exclude corticosteroids in the 4 weeks preceding each study visit;
6. Use of probiotic bacteria or probiotic containing drinks/supplements;
7. Use of systemic antibiotics or anti-mycotic drugs 4 weeks preceding study entry;
8. Investigator's uncertainty about the willingness or ability of the subject to comply with the protocol requirements;
9. Participation in any other studies involving investigational or marketed products concomitantly or within two weeks prior to entry into the study.
