Brief Summary

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

Children will receive biodiversity intervention or placebo. The proof of concept trial is double blind. Intervention will start at the age of 2 months and last 10 months. Children will be randomized to arms. IgE sensitization is the primary outcome.

Detailed Description

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

Newborns will start to be exposed to biodiversity intervention or placebo at the age of two months. The proof of concept trial will be double blind. Intervention will start at the age of 2 months and it will end when children become 12 months old. Children will be randomized to the two arms. IgE sensitization is the primary outcome at the age of two and three years.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Placebo

The children will receive and they are exposed daily to harmless materials that look and feel like the biodiversity intervention materials.
