Growth and Safety Clinical Trial on a New Infant Formula

The aim of this study is to assess age-appropriate growth of healthy infants fed a new infant formula. In this randomized, controlled trial, healthy, term, formula-fed infants will be randomized to one of two infant formulas: a standard, commercially-available infant formula for term infants or the new infant formula for term infants for 16 weeks. A reference group of human milk-fed infants will also be enrolled. This study is designed in accordance with Good Clinical Practice guidelines and the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations, 21CFR106.96. This study allows caregivers to participate completely from the comfort of their own home.
