Growth and Plasma Amino Acids in Infants With CMPA and Treated With a Newly Innovated Amino Acid Formula

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Cow Milk Allergy

• Registration Number: NCT01637688
• Lead Sponsor: Mahidol University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine growth and protein status of infants with cow's milk protein allergy and treated with a newly innovated amino acid formula compared to those with a commercial amino acid formula.

Detailed Description

Severe cases of cow's milk protein allergy are treated with the amino acid formula. The amino acid formula is composed of essential and non-essential amino acids, vegetable oils with or without MCT oil, and glucose polymer from various carbohydrate sources. Such formula is also fortified by minerals, trace elements,and vitamins.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Growth and protein status	4 weeks	* compare body weight, length, head circumference, triceps skin fold thickness, mid-arm circumference, and arm muscle area between NAAF and AAF groups; * compare plasma amino acids, serum albumin, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine between NAAF and AAF groups

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Growth	4 weeks	* compare weight, length, head circumference, triceps skin fold thickness, mid-arm circumference, and arm muscle area between either NAAF group or AAF group and normal infants fed with either breast milk or infant formula.; * compare plasma amino acids between either NAAF group or AAF group and normal published data
