Special milk powder aimed to help sick infants – but study never started

NCT ID NCT05922332

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study planned to test whether a milk powder rich in medium-chain fatty acids could improve nutrition and health in infants with cholestatic liver disease. Researchers aimed to compare the special formula to regular milk powder in 64 infants under 6 months old. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

medium-chain fatty acid rich milk powder

What this could lead to

If it had worked, this could point toward a special diet to help infants with cholestatic liver disease gain weight and improve health.

What could go wrong

The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data exist. Even if conducted, it was small (64 infants) and only tested a dietary supplement, not a cure.
