NCT ID NCT07342621
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a special infant formula designed for babies with cow's milk protein allergy. The formula includes added prebiotics, probiotics, and a human milk oligosaccharide to help ease allergy symptoms. About 41 infants under 10 months old will use the formula for 4 weeks, and doctors will track changes in symptoms like skin rashes or stomach issues.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- extensively hydrolysed whey-based formula with synbiotics (scGOS/lcFOS 9:1 and Bifidobacterium breve M-16V) and human milk oligosaccharide 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a better-tolerated formula that reduces allergy symptoms in infants with cow's milk protein allergy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 41 infants and no placebo group, so results may not be conclusive or widely applicable.

Who is studied
Infants under 10 months of age with suspected or recently confirmed cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) who are initiating the use of a hypoallergenic formula as part of routine clinical management. All participants will receive an extensively hydrolyzed whey-based formula containing synbiotics and 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) and will be followed prospectively for four weeks.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Infants under 10 months of age at study start (Visit 1). * Suspected or recently confirmed cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA), as determined by the investigator. * Already formula-fed, or parents/legal guardians have decided to initiate formula feeding. * Inclusion in the study coincides with the first prescription of a hypoallergenic formula. * Written informed consent obtained from parents or legal guardians in accordance with local regulations. Exclusion Criteria: * Infants with functional gastrointestinal symptoms in whom atopy or food allergy is not suspected. * Infants who have previously used an extensively hydrolyzed formula (EHF), an amino acid-based formula (AAF), a rice hydrolysate formula, or a soy-based formula. * Infants who have previously used a partially hydrolyzed formula for the prevention of cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). * Infants for whom an amino acid-based formula (AAF) is more appropriate as first-line management, including severe forms of CMPA. * Contraindications to the use of synbiotics (e.g., preterm infants \<40 weeks of corrected gestational age at study start, immunodeficiency, short bowel syndrome, parenteral nutrition, post-pyloric feeding, central venous catheter, oncology treatment, or graft-versus-host disease). * Any other condition, as assessed by the investigator, that contraindicates the use of an extensively hydrolyzed formula. * Any other circumstance, as assessed by the investigator, indicating that the parents or legal guardians are not capable of complying with the study procedures.
