Special baby formula may boost growth in heart defect infants

NCT ID NCT07087782

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a high-calorie formula called Fortini helps babies born with a serious heart condition (single ventricle) grow better after their first heart surgery. About 100 infants will be randomly assigned to receive either Fortini or standard high-calorie formula after leaving the hospital. Researchers will track weight gain, feeding tolerance, and hospital readmissions until the babies' next surgery, aiming to improve nutrition and reduce stress for families.
