OBJECTIVE: In study 1, to compare the effect on growth in healthy infants of a new amino acid-based formula (AAF) and a control extensively hydrolyzed formula (EHF), with bothdocosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) at levels similar to those in human milk worldwide. In study 2, to evaluate the hypoallergenicity of this new AAF in infants and children with confirmed cow's milk allergy (CMA). STUDY DESIGN: In study 1, a total of 165 healthy, full-term, formula-fed infants randomly received thenew AAF or control formula. Anthropometric measurements, tolerance, and adverse events were recorded throughout the study. Plasma amino acid profiles were evaluated in a subset of the infants. In study 2, the hypoallergenicity of the new AAF was evaluated in 32 infants and children using a double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge; an open challenge; and a 7-day feeding. RESULTS: In study 1, overall growth, tolerance, and safety outcomes were similar in both groups. In study 2, 29 of the 32 subjects completed both challenges; no allergic reaction was seen in any of the 32 subjects. CONCLUSIONS: The new AAF with DHA and ARA at levels similar to those in human milk worldwide is hypoallergenic. It also is safe and supports growth in healthy, term infants.
