New formula aims to help Milk-Allergic babies keep food down
NCT ID NCT07592182
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special anti-regurgitation formula, made from extensively hydrolysed casein, is safe and well-tolerated in infants with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). About 55 babies aged 1 to 9 months will take part. The formula is given in a controlled food challenge, and then over a longer period to check growth and allergy symptoms. The goal is to provide a better feeding option for infants who both have CMPA and spit up frequently.
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 anti-regurgitation casein-based formula
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this formula could offer a safe, ready-to-use option for infants with cow's milk protein allergy who also have reflux, reducing the need for more expensive or restrictive alternatives.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (55 infants) that has not yet started recruiting. The formula may still trigger allergic reactions in some babies, and results may not apply to all infants with CMPA.
