入选标准
- •Healthy, singleton, term infants
- •Aged ≤14 days at randomisation/enrolment
- •Birth weight within normal range for gestational age and sex
- •Head circumference at birth within normal range for age and sex
- •Maternal age ≥18 years at birth;
- •Intervention arms: exclusively formula fed at randomisation (infants of mothers who autonomously chose not to breastfeed for any reason before their infant is ≤14 days of age, and who intend to exclusively formula feed until their infant is at least 17 weeks of age); OR Breastfed reference arm: exclusively breastfed at enrolment (infants of mothers who intend to exclusively breastfeed until their infant is at least 17 weeks of age);
- •Written informed consent from parent(s) and/or legal guardian(s), who themselves are aged ≥18 years.
排除标准
- •Infants who require to be fed a special diet other than standard cow's milk based infant formula;
- •Infants known or suspected to have cow's milk allergy, soy allergy and/or lactose intolerance;
- •Infants known or suspected to have current or previous illnesses/conditions or interventions which could interfere with the study or its outcome parameters, as per the clinical judgement of the Investigator;
- •Infants with known or suspected congenital diseases or malformations which could interfere with the study or its outcome parameters (including, but not limited to: GI malformations, congenital immunodeficiency), as per the clinical judgement of the Investigator;
- •Infants with previous, current or intended participation in any other clinical study involving investigational or marketed products;
- •Incapability of infants' parents/legally acceptable representatives to comply with study protocol or Investigator's uncertainty about the willingness or ability of the parent(s)/legally acceptable representative(s) to comply with the protocol requirements;
- •Infants born from mothers with significant medical conditions during pregnancy that might interfere with the study or known to affect intra-uterine growth (e.g. placenta previa, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, gestational diabetes requiring insulin or oral medication) as per Investigator's judgement.
- •Criteria for lactating mothers of subjects in the breastfed reference arm:
- •Lactating women who are currently participating or intend to participate in any other clinical study involving investigational products. Participation in purely observational studies is permitted;
- •Lactating women known to suffer from hepatitis B or human immunodeficiency virus;
- •Lactating women known to have any other significant medical condition(s) which might interfere with the study or its outcome parameters (breast abscess or mastitis which could interfere with lactation, or other clinically relevant infections, or consumption of medication/substances which could impact the infants' growth), as per the clinical judgement of the Investigator;
- •Lactating women who intend to feed their infants with a combination of human milk and infant formula.
