简要总结

This is a randomized, open-label, prospective study to evaluate the nutritive effects of an a2 infant formula on growth and tolerance in healthy term infants. A total of 280 healthy, term, mixed-fed infants between 60 and 120 days of age were enrolled at Shanghai. The participants were randomly assigned to one of the two study groups: the a2 infant formula group and the conventional A1/A2 infant formula group. Each group contained 140 infants. The study duration was 56 days.

详细描述

Primary objective:

To compare the growth measurements of the infants fed with the a2 infant formula with those fed with conventional A1/A2 infant formula during the study period.

Secondary objectives:

To compare the two study groups in

  1. Dermatitis quality of life
  2. Formula tolerability and acceptability
  3. All medically confirmed adverse events
