NCT ID NCT07225153
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a goat milk-based formula alternative (GMDFA) in 15 infants aged 8-10 weeks who cannot exclusively breastfeed. Researchers compare growth, gut health, and nutrition markers between infants fed GMDFA, undiluted goat milk, or breast milk. The goal is to see if GMDFA is a safe and affordable option for families in rural Pakistan.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Goat Milk-Derived Formula Alternative (GMDFA)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide an affordable, safe alternative to commercial infant formula for families with access to goat milk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage study with only 15 infants, so results may not apply broadly. The formula is not yet proven to be nutritionally complete.
