Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety of BB-12 Supplemented Strawberry Yogurt For Healthy Children (NCT NCT01652287)

NCT ID: NCT01652287

Last Updated: 2024-03-22

Results Overview

The primary outcome is to assess the safety of BB-12® yogurt when consumed by generally healthy children. To achieve this aim, data on adverse events will be collected from diaries; calls to the 24-hour advice line; and research assistant phone calls on days 6, 11, 15 and 180, ±2 days. All adverse events will be tabulated by type and charted over time.
