简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the stool composition and GI tolerance of an experimental formula with a new fat blend plus L. reuteri vs control formula.
详细描述
Double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the stool composition and GI tolerance of 140 healthy, term infants fed with an infant formula with a new fat blend plus L. reuteri vs a standard infant formula. All enrolled infants will participate in the trial for approximately 71 days.

结局指标
主要结局
Stool Consistency Score
时间窗: Study Day 57, corresponding to infant age of 78-85 days
3-day Gastrointestinal (GI) Symptom and Behavior Diary, a parent-reported symptom diary to record stool consistency and stool frequency over the 3 consecutive days. A validated 5-point pictorial representation of the consistency of the stool for infants ≤1 year (1=watery, 2=runny, 3=mushy soft, 4=formed, 5=hard) will be provided in the stool diary for parent(s)/LAR to visually assess the infants' stools. Stool consistency will be compared between formula groups The baseline stool consistency value will also be included in the model as a covariate. the percentage of stools in each category (watery, runny, mushy soft, formed, or hard) will be calculated by visit for each infant and then will be summarized using the appropriate descriptive statistics. Figures composed of a series of histograms will be produced for each 3-day stool diary period.
次要结局
- Changes in Weight from baseline to 57 days(Study Day 57, corresponding to infant age of 78-85 days)
- GI Tolerance(which corresponds to infant age of 21-28, 43-50, and 78-85 days.)
- Changes in Length from baseline to 57 days(Study Day 57, corresponding to infant age of 78-85 days)
- Changes in Head Circumference from baseline to 57 days(Study Day 57, corresponding to infant age of 78-85 days)
