Primaire uitkomstmaten
The primary study endpoint is the proportion of the infants who develop oral tolerance to cow’s milk.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
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.
