入选标准
- •Infants 2 weeks - 12 weeks of age at enrolment
- •Infants diagnosed with colic according to Rome IV criteria: Diagnostic criteria for research purposes (infant must meet all Rome IV criteria):
- •An infant who is less than 5 months of age (in the current clinical trial, only infants 2 weeks to 8 weeks of age will be enrolled) when the symptoms start and stop
- •Recurrent and prolonged periods of infant crying, fussing, or irritability reported by caregivers that occur without obvious cause and cannot be prevented or resolved by caregivers
- •No evidence of infant failure to thrive, fever, or illness
- •Excessive crying/fussiness for 3 or more hours per day during 3 or more days in the past 7 days as reported by parents to the clinician
- •Total 24-hour crying plus fussing is 3 hours or more when measured by at least one prospectively kept 24-hour behavior diary. (The Structured Infant Crying and Fussing Diary will be dispensed at the screening visit (V0), completed for two 24-hour periods at H0 (days -3 to -1), and returned at V1 to be used as part of the diagnostic criteria for infantile colic.)
- •Term infants (≥ 37 weeks) generally healthy with normal birth weight (≥2.5kg) and singleton born
- •Predominantly formula fed* (formula fed ≥ 80% of the time) for at least 7 days before randomization and the choice of formula feeding has been made by the parents before the beginning of the trial.
- •Infants who have been on the same formula for the past 5 days
- •Signed informed consent obtained for infant's and parents'/Legally Acceptable Representative (LAR) participation in the study
- •Parent/LAR of infant agrees not to enroll infant in another interventional clinical research study while participating in this study
- •Parent of the infant/LAR is willing and able to fulfill the requirements of the study protocol
- •Parent of infant can be contacted throughout the study
- •Predominantly formula feeding defined in the study means that the infant's predominant source of nourishment is formula. Specifically, infants are fed with formula for at least 80% of total milk feeds per day.
排除标准
- •Presence of any congenital condition and/or previous or current illness/infection and (or) medication use that could interfere with the main study outcomes.
- •Clinical evidence of chronic illness or gastrointestinal disorders, major medical problems (e.g. ill, immunocompromised, major developmental or genetic abnormality).
- •Known cow's milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance, or galactosaemia; including presence of any allergic manifestations.
- •Received any special formula (e.g. lactose-free, hydrolyzed protein) within 5 days before randomization or switched formulas within 5 days before randomization.
- •Received any of the following products/medication within 5 days before randomization:
- •Antibiotics
- •Prokinetics
- •Proton pump inhibitors
- •Simethicone
- •L. reuteri probiotic
- •Formula containing Human milk Oligosaccharides
- •Other infant(s) <6months of age living in the same household.
- •Current participation in another interventional clinical trial.
结局指标
主要结局
