Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in preterm infants following treatment with BSSL when administered in infant formula.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this double-blind crossover study, patients will be randomized to receive infant formula including BSSL or infant formula without BSSL for the first 7 days. After a wash-out period of 2 days the patients will "crossover" to the other treatment regimen and receive an additional 7 days treatment. The primary efficacy measurements will be made by collecting stool during the last three days of each treatment period.
