研究概览

简要总结

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety of a daily high dose of a probiotic supplement by comparing the growth (weight gain, g/day) of formula-fed and/or breastfed infants in high dose group versus placebo group from enrolment to 8 weeks of intervention

详细描述

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of healthy term infants, consisting of three randomized arms: placebo control group, high dose experimental group, and low dose experimental group. The study population, approximately 228, are infants 14 - 21 days of age who are formula-fed and/or breastfed who is aligned with the intended target population for a probiotic supplement.
