Brief Summary

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

This is a two stage open-label, single-arm, multicenter and observational study.

Detailed Description

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

Stage 1: In hospital, preterm/low birth weight infants less than or equal to 34 weeks gestational age at birth, birth weight of ≥ 1000g to \<1800g and conditions meeting the enrollment criteria will be fed formula with or without parenteral nutrition until discharge. Stage 2: Post-discharge, all infants with birth weight \< or =1500g will be followed on formula per standard of care and accepted standard of care including feeding until the infant's weight \>or= 25th percentile of growth expectation based on corrected age (P25) or until infant reaches 9 months corrected age.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Infants who can receive early enteral feeding stably (reaching 50% or higher of the required daily total calories) and whose parents/guardians and investigators have selected Similac Special Care (SSC) for feeding;
* Infant has been classified as appropriate for gestational age (AGA) or if classified as asymmetric small for gestational age (SGA) (Asymmetric SGA: Weight below the 10th percentile, but head circumference is greater than or equal to the 10th percentile) enrollment has been preapproved by sponsor;


* Infants with birth weight \< or = 1500g, subjects whose parents/guardians and investigators have selected NeoSure for continued feeding after hospital discharge.

Exclusion Criteria

* Serious congenital chromosomal or metabolic abnormalities that may affect growth and development;
* Congenital gastrointestinal malformations , including but not limited to congenital megacolon or gastric-intestinal perforation;
* Serious complications associated with preterm birth, including but not limited to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), septicemia or sepsis;
* Other serious disorders of cardiac/respiratory/endocrine/hematological/ gastrointestinal/other systems, or serious diseases requiring surgical intervention;
* Maternal incapacity: including maternal drug, cocaine or alcohol abuse during pregnancy or current;
* Infants who received any experimental treatment, participated in other clinical trials or received other study interventions unrelated to this study within 30 days prior to enrollment;
* Infants who have received or planned to receive breastfeeding or other infant formula (powder) other than SSC with calories intake ≥25% of the required daily total calories
* Intubation for ventilation at the time of enrollment.


* Infants who have received breastfeeding or other infant formula (powder) during hospitalization other than SSC with calories intake ≥25% of the required daily total calories
* Infants who have planned to receive breastfeeding or other infant formula (powder) other than NeoSure after discharge with calories intake ≥25% of the required daily total calories
