Brief Summary

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

The aim of this interventional study is to assess the hypoallergenicity of a new formula in infants having a cow milk allergy (CMA), whatever the type of CMA, meaning in both IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated CMA patients.

This will be tested through a double-blind placebo controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) taking place over 2 or 3 separate days, in hospital.

If the child tolerates the tested formula during the DBPCFC, he will be fed with the test formula during the second study phase. There will be monthly visit and parents will be asked to fill in diaries.

Detailed Description

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

Briefly, on two separate days, the placebo formula and the TEHCF will be introduced at increasing doses under medical supervision, and appearance of allergic symptoms will be witnessed and recorded if any. The week after, and more particularly the 72 hours after each food challenge day, child's parents will be instructed to report to the investigator any delayed reaction that may occur. In case the TEHCF induces an allergic reaction, the child's participation will be ended. Otherwise, the child will enter the second study part, lasting 4 months and during which the usual formula taken by the child will be totally replaced by the TEHCF.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

The first part of the study consists in a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) during which all patient will receive the test formula and a placebo, in a randomised order.

During the second part of the study, all patients will be fed the test formula (open-label phase).

Study Groups

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

Test Formula

Infants will receive an extensively hydrolyzed formula during the double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) and will continue on this formula during the open-label feeding phase if they tolerate it.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Test Formula

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Infants will receive an extensively hydrolyzed formula during the double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) and will continue on this formula during the open-label feeding phase if they tolerate it.

Placebo Formula

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Infants will receive a placebo formula during the DBPCFC to compare against the test formula.
