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.
