Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are infants aged up to 4 months who exhibit symptoms of FGIDs such as regurgitation, colic, or constipation.

Probably not a fit

Infants who are exclusively or partially breastfed or those with known allergies to the formula's ingredients may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates how a new infant formula affects functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in infants. It employs the Gastrointestinal and gastroesophageal reflux (GIGER) scale to measure outcomes over a 30-day initial period, followed by an optional 90-day intervention phase. The study is open-label and non-comparative, involving multiple centers to gather diverse data on infant responses to the formula.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new dietary option for infants suffering from FGIDs, potentially improving their comfort and health.

How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on infant formulas, this specific approach focusing on FGIDs with a new formula is relatively novel.
