About this trial

This is a research study to compare an investigational infant formula against a currently marketed infant formula. An investigational infant formula is one that has never been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the growth and tolerance of infants who consume a new (not yet available to buy) extensively hydrolyzed cow milk protein infant formula compared to an extensively hydrolyzed cow milk protein infant formula that is currently available to buy. The study will also look at the growth of your baby, how many poops your baby has, what the poops are like (for example, soft or hard), how much study formula your baby drinks, how well your baby handles the study formula (such as spit-up, fussiness, gas, colic, or changes in sleep), and any health problems that might come up during the study.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Disqualifiers

History of underlying metabolic or chronic disease; congenital malformation; immunodeficiency, gastrointestinal condition, or any other condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, is likely to interfere with: the ability of the infant to ingest food by mouth, the normal growth and development of the infant, or the evaluation of the infant

Evidence of feeding difficulties or history of formula intolerance, such as vomiting or poor intake at time of randomization

First degree relative (if known) history of cow's milk protein intolerance or allergy

Maternal history with known adverse effects on the fetus and/or newborn infant in the opinion of the investigator, such as, but not limited to diabetes, smoking, active tuberculosis, perinatal infection, or substance abuse
