Evaluation of Tolerance, Efficacy and Safety of an Hydrolyzed Formula in Infants With IgE/Non-IgE Mediated CMA.

Study Purpose

The aim of this interventional study is to assess the hypoallergenicity of a new formula in infants having a cow milk allergy (CMA), whatever the type of CMA, meaning in both IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated CMA patients. This will be tested through a double-blind placebo controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) taking place over 2 or 3 separate days, in hospital. If the child tolerates the tested formula during the DBPCFC, he will be fed with the test formula during the second study phase. There will be monthly visit and parents will be asked to fill in diaries.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06481280
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Cow's Milk Allergy
Additional Details

Briefly, on two separate days, the placebo formula and the TEHCF will be introduced at increasing doses under medical supervision, and appearance of allergic symptoms will be witnessed and recorded if any. The week after, and more particularly the 72 hours after each food challenge day, child's parents will be instructed to report to the investigator any delayed reaction that may occur. In case the TEHCF induces an allergic reaction, the child's participation will be ended. Otherwise, the child will enter the second study part, lasting 4 months and during which the usual formula taken by the child will be totally replaced by the TEHCF.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Test Formula

Infants will receive an extensively hydrolyzed formula during the double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) and will continue on this formula during the open-label feeding phase if they tolerate it.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo Formula

Infants will receive a placebo formula (=their previous formula) during the DBPCFC to compare against the test formula.

Interventions

Dietary Supplement: - Test Formula

Infants will receive an extensively hydrolyzed formula during the double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) and will continue on this formula during the open-label feeding phase if they tolerate it.

Dietary Supplement: - Placebo Formula

Infants will receive a placebo formula during the DBPCFC to compare against the test formula.
