Going Beyond Current Clinical Studies
ABSTRACT
Clinical studies are essential to ensure the safety of infant formulas and any
systematic deviation from normal physical growth and development attributable to
a new ingredient should be considered a safety threat. Growth studies, currently a
centerpiece of clinical evaluation of infant formulas, should include precise and reli-
able measurements of weight and length velocity and head circumference. Appropri-
ate measures of body composition also require assessment. Duration of follow-up
measurements should at least cover the period when infant formula remains the sole
source of nutrients in the diet of the infant. However the committee believes that
growth studies are not sufficient on their own to assess ingredients new to infant
formulas. Specific guidelines are needed to determine “normal” growth and to estab-
lish what represents a biologically meaningful difference among groups of infants
consuming different formulas. Specific recommendations are needed to establish a
level of difference that represents a safety concern.
Regulatory guidelines should ensure that infant outcomes encompass, as the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed, “all aspects of physical growth
and normal maturational development.” Any systematic differences in clinical out-
comes that can be attributed to an ingredient new to infant formulas should be
considered a safety concern that requires careful evaluation and, if needed, further
clinical study to identify the pathway through which the infant has been affected.
The committee recommends that a hierarchy of two levels of clinical assessment be
implemented with regard to growth and organ systems. Level 1 assessments should
include checking for signs of all adverse laboratory indicators of the major organ
systems. Level 2 assessments should include in-depth measures of organ systems or
functions that would be performed to explain abnormalities found in level 1 assess-
ments or specific theoretical concerns not typically addressed by level 1 tests.

GOING BEYOND CURRENT CLINICAL STUDIES
There are a number of reasons why it is equally important to include develop-
mental-behavioral outcomes in future studies of the safety of ingredients new to
infant formulas: the measures are sensitive to exposure to toxic substances, they can
have long-term predictive value, and bidirectional brain-behavior links exist. There-
fore, assessment of clinical endpoints should include measurement of infant sensory-
motor, cognitive, affectual, and neural function with instruments that follow recom-
mended criteria. The committee recommends that a hierarchy of three levels of
clinical assessment be developed and implemented to determine what levels are ap-
propriate to apply with regard to developmental-behavioral-neural outcomes. The
levels of assessment are: level 1 assessments, including developmental screening mea-
sures; level 2 assessments, including in-depth measures of infant functions in major
developmental areas (single assessment for each area with one instrument); and level
3 assessments, including in-depth measures of infant functions in major developmen-
tal areas (repeated assessment with multiple instruments).
The instruments used for these assessments should satisfy the following criteria:
be age appropriate, have predictive value for long-term consequences, be adequately
sensitive, have documented brain-behavior links, have cross-species generalizability,
assess specific function, and be easy to administer. In addition, the committee con-
siders that certain design features (e.g., adequate statistical power) are essential in all
clinical studies.
INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides an overview of clinical studies and a brief overview of the
current regulatory requirements for them. The first part of the chapter includes a rationale
for clinical assessment of growth, specific recommendations on what should be measured,
and guidelines for interpretation of results. In the second part, the committee describes
more specific clinical endpoints in each of the organ systems likely to be affected by
ingredients new to infant formulas. In the last part of the chapter considerable attention
is paid to behavioral and developmental endpoints because of the young infant’s height-
ened sensitivity to potentially toxic substances and the long-term consequences of such
exposures.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CLINICAL STUDIES
While preclinical laboratory and animal studies have substantial value for identifying
potential safety concerns, they are limited in their ability to predict what may happen in
human infants. Clinical studies in human infants are needed for several reasons. First,
extrapolation from animal studies may be limited by differences between animal and
human structure, physiology, and development. Second, extrapolation from isolated tissue
studies is limited by the inability of such models to assess functions in the context of whole
organ systems where coordination and integration are the rule. For example, the digestion
and absorption of nutrients requires coordination of numerous gastrointestinal functions.
Third, there may be no available animal or tissue models to test specific functions. For
example, it is not possible to use animal models to duplicate clinically relevant allergic
reactions to foreign proteins, to determine the effects of a substance on acceptance or
tolerance of an infant formula, or to test some of the higher cognitive functions found only
in humans.

100 INFANT FORMULA: EVALUATING THE SAFETY OF NEW INGREDIENTS
CURRENT REGULATORY GUIDELINES FOR CLINICAL STUDIES
Canada’s Food and Drug Regulations
There are no specific requirements for clinical testing of infant formulas set out under
Canada’s Food and Drug Regulations in Division 16 (Food Additives), Division 25 (Infant
Formula), or Division 28 (Novel Foods) (Canada, 2001). Division 25 of the Regulations
requires that a premarket submission with respect to a new infant formula or an infant
formula that has undergone a major change in composition, manufacturing, or packaging
include the evidence relied on to establish that the infant formula is nutritionally adequate to
promote acceptable growth and development in infants when consumed in accordance with
the directions for use. Divisions 16 and 28 require that data be submitted to Health Canada
that include information used to establish the safety of a food additive or a novel food,
respectively. Health Canada refers manufacturers to internationally accepted guidelines for
clinical testing or asks to be consulted because decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.
Sections 409 and 412 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
There are no explicit requirements for clinical testing of infant formulas specified under
Section 409 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act. Section 409 stipulates that a
petition to establish safety of a food additive shall contain “all relevant data bearing on the
physical or other technical effect such additive is intended to produce . . . ,” but it does not
dictate a specific type of clinical study.
Current regulations for infant formulas under Section 412 of the FD&C Act do not
define quality factor requirements, such as physical growth, but only describe required
nutrient levels, without considering bioavailability. This gap is addressed in a proposed rule
(FDA, 1996), where assessment of physical growth, using anthropometry, is proposed “as
an integrative indicator of net overall nutritional quality of the formula.” The proposed rule
further states, “as the science evolves, FDA anticipates being able to progress beyond gener-
alized, nonspecific indicators of overall nutritional intakes (e.g., measures of physical growth)
to more specific and sensitive measures of biochemical and functional nutritional status”
(FDA, 1996, P. 36181). Thus neither the current nor the proposed rules identify specific
requirements for other clinical studies.
FDA Redbook
FDA does not require petitioners to conduct human clinical studies to support the safety
of food additives or color additives used in food, but, if deemed necessary, it recommends
that the studies conform to guidelines presented in section VI.A. of the Redbook (OFAS,
2001, 2003). These guidelines are comprehensive and relevant for the clinical testing of
ingredients new to infant formulas.
General guidance is provided to identify the scientific and ethical principles for clinical
studies, including the need for presentation of a defensible rationale for human studies. The
Redbook states that this rationale should be based on:
• adequate preclinical investigations,
• results of clinical studies conducted elsewhere,
• consideration of the organs and organ systems that may be affected, and
OCR for page 98
101
GOING BEYOND CURRENT CLINICAL STUDIES
• careful attention to the qualifications of investigators and the safety and ethical
treatment of subjects in clinical trials.
The Redbook suggests the sequence of and subjects for clinical studies. Early clinical
studies are to determine the “metabolism and level of the food or food additive that gives an
adverse or toxic response in man” (specifically physiological studies of the additive’s dispo-
sition, its potential to induce enzyme levels or increase activity, and its interactions with
other nutrients) (OFAS, 2001, P. 183). In general children are to be excluded from these
early (typically acute or shorter duration) clinical studies. However tolerance studies, which
are to be included among early studies, need to be conducted in infants because of the special
nature of infant formulas.
Infants are more likely to be included in what the Redbook describes as chronic intake
studies, which are to be conducted once general safety in humans is established in the early
adult studies. Here, the Redbook provides specific guidance on protocol design, study
population, and statistical analyses, as well as on how reports of clinical studies should be
presented. Box 6-1 lists questions that should be answered when conducting studies to
determine the safety of a proposed additive.
GENERAL APPROACH TO CONDUCTING CLINICAL STUDIES
In the conceptualization of the range of infant health concerns, the committee was
guided by the following: “FDA considers the concept of ‘healthy growth’ to be broad,
encompassing all aspects of physical growth and normal maturational development, includ-
ing maturation of organ systems and achievement of normal functional development of
motor, neurocognitive, and immune systems. All of these growth and maturational devel-
opmental processes are major determinants of an infant’s ability to achieve his/her biolog-
ical potential, and all can be affected by the nutritional status of an infant” (FDA, 1996,
P. 36179).
The committee proposes the use of a multilevel approach to establish more comprehensive
guidelines to ensure that infant outcomes encompass “all aspects of physical growth and
normal maturational development.” Figure 6-1 illustrates the three different types of clinical
studies recommended by the committee, including assessment of growth, organ systems, and
development and behavior. Figures 6-2 and 6-3 further explain the clinical studies through the
proposed two-level approach to organ systems and the three-level approach to development-
BOX 6-1 Questions That Should Be Answered
When Conducting Clinical Studies
• How is the food or food additive absorbed, metabolized, deposited in tissue, and excreted?
• What is the half-life of the food or food additive in the human body?
• How may interactions between the food or food additive and nutrients or medications compro-
mise the availability of any of these substances (including the consideration of the matrix)?
• How does the food or food additive affect the function of human organs and organ systems
(including infant growth and development)?
• What are the possible adverse reactions to the food or food additive in the general population of
individuals who are likely to use the substance and in special (more sensitive) populations?

behavior. There are decision-making points within each of these three types of clinical studies
that will be discussed in detail in subsequent sections of this chapter. (In keeping with the
charge to the committee, proposed guidelines focus on the health and well-being of term
infants only.)
The committee recognizes that all clinical studies would need to be reviewed and
approved by human-subject research review boards. Because the clinical studies to deter-
mine the safety of new ingredients will be carried out in healthy infants, the committee
does not recommend the use of highly invasive tests, such as tissue biopsies or gastrointes-
tinal incubations.
OVERVIEW OF RECOMMENDED LEVELS OF ASSESSMENT
RECOMMENDATION: Any adverse systematic differences in clinical outcomes that
can be attributed to an ingredient new to infant formulas should be considered a safety
concern that requires careful evaluation and, if needed, further clinical study to identify
the pathway through which the infant has been affected.
A hierarchy of two levels of clinical assessment should be implemented for organ systems:
• Level 1 assessments. Check of signs for all adverse laboratory indicators.
• Level 2 assessments. In-depth measures of organ systems or functions that would
be performed to explain abnormalities found in level 1 assessments or specific theoreti-
cal concerns not typically addressed by level 1 tests.
A hierarchy of three levels of clinical assessment should be implemented for develop-
mental-behavioral measures:
• Level 1 assessments. Developmental screening measures.
• Level 2 assessments. In-depth measures of infant functions in major developmen-
tal areas (single assessment for each area with one instrument).
• Level 3 assessments. In-depth measures of infant functions in major developmen-
tal areas (repeated assessment with multiple instruments).
GROWTH
Growth is well recognized as a sensitive, but nonspecific, indicator of the overall health
and nutritional status of an infant. Monitoring infant growth has always been an integral
part of pediatric care and is particularly important for young infants. Growth and nutrient
requirements per kilogram of body weight are higher during the first few months of infancy
than during any other period of life. Furthermore, the greatest percentage of dietary intake
is devoted to supporting growth at this time, and thus nutritional imbalances are likely to be
reflected in growth rates.
The committee believes that the inability of a formula to support normal growth repre-
sents a significant harm to infants and therefore growth is an essential endpoint for all safety
assessments of an ingredient new to infant formulas. Any systematic deviation from normal
physical growth attributable to a new ingredient should be considered a safety threat.
Under current regulations the core of the requirements focuses on meeting certain levels
of specific nutrients. The concept of quality factors has not been defined, but proposed
OCR for page 98
106 INFANT FORMULA: EVALUATING THE SAFETY OF NEW INGREDIENTS
regulations include a subsection on quality factors, with a focus on physical growth. Despite
the absence of quality factors in current legislation, there appears to be a strong consensus
that growth should be a quality factor for infant formulas. In the United States FDA
recognized the need for clear guidelines on the assessment of growth and commissioned a
report from the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (AAP) Committee on Nutrition Task
Force on clinical testing of infant formulas with respect to nutritional suitability for term
infants (AAP, 1988). The task force identified the following types of clinical studies as useful
in the premarket evaluation of formulas: acceptance or tolerance studies, gains in weight and
length, food intake, body composition, serum chemical indices, and metabolic balance
studies. Most of the recommendations of the task force were incorporated into the proposed
changes to the infant formula act (FDA, 1996).
Currently clinical studies tend to follow the proposed rule, the 120-day growth study
being the main method used to assess the ability of an infant formula to sustain normal
infant growth. The proposed rule would codify standards for clinical growth studies by
specifying methods (controlled clinical trials), duration (4 months), measurements (weight,
recumbent length, and head circumference), and ages at measurement (at 2 and 4 weeks,
then at least monthly thereafter), with a further requirement that individual infant data be
plotted against Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reference curves for
weight and length.1
The AAP task force concluded that “rate of gain in weight gain is the single most
valuable component of the clinical evaluation of infant formula” (AAP, 1988, P. 7). Further,
it judged that length assessment is unnecessary because significant differences in length gain
would not occur in the absence of differences in weight gain, and that there is a higher
potential for measurement error and thus misclassification of growth in length. While the
committee concurs with the centrality of weight gain in clinical assessment, it also believes
that length and head circumference should be measured in growth studies in order to
evaluate the effects of substances on other aspects of growth, such as skeletal growth and
body proportions.
Notably absent from existing and proposed requirements are specific guidelines on what
constitutes “normal” growth, or what represents a biologically meaningful difference among
groups of infants consuming different formulas. Recommendations are needed both to
define the most relevant comparison groups for clinical studies and to establish a level of
difference that represents a safety concern. These are challenging and critical questions that
will be discussed in later sections.
In addition, the committee recommends that guidelines go beyond growth studies to
assess the safety of ingredients new to infant formulas. Deficits in brain function and effects
of specific micronutrients may occur in the absence of differences in physical growth. Fur-
thermore, while a “decrease in the growth rate during infancy is the earliest indication of
nutritional failure” (Fomon, 1993, P. 48), growth deficits are likely to appear only second-
ary to effects on specific organs or tissues, and they may not appear for some time after
nutritional insult. Thus growth studies should be considered a necessary, but not sufficient,
part of human clinical studies of the safety of ingredients new to infant formulas (see Figure
6-1, Box 3).
1Proposed changes to 21 C.F.R. Parts 106 and 107 specify the reference charts to be used. Since CDC has
published updated references for use in the United States (Kuczmarski et al., 2000), the requirement should be
updated to specify the new reference values.

GOING BEYOND CURRENT CLINICAL STUDIES
Measuring Growth
Ascertainment of growth status typically relies on anthropometric assessment, which is
noninvasive and highly practical, requires relatively little training to achieve reliability, and
is accomplished with low-cost, low-tech tools. Further, there are ample descriptions of
standard anthropometric methods and reference data for the interpretation of measurements
(Kuczmarski et al., 2000; Lohman et al., 1988). Although each has limitations and advan-
tages (Table 6-1), the committee recommends the following measures of infant growth for
clinical studies (see Figure 6-1, Box 3):
• Weight is an overall measure of body size and is responsive to acute insults, such as
infectious morbidity or changes in nutrient intakes. Attained weight is hard to interpret in
the absence of length data since an underweight child could be well proportioned or thin,
with different implications for morbidity risk.
• Recumbent length is an overall indicator of linear or bone growth. Length reflects
genetic factors and growth history. It is less responsive to acute insults, and the response of
length to varying nutrition levels typically lags behind the response in weight.
• Weight for length is an indicator of relative weight (thinness or overweight). These
measures are typically expressed as a Z-score or a percentile based on comparison with
national reference data.
• Head circumference is often used in clinical settings as an overall, nonspecific indica-
tor of brain growth. It has limited usefulness in screening for potential developmental or
neurological disabilities, but it is useful in comparison with other anthropometrics to assess
proportionality. The ratio of mid-arm to head circumference is a less commonly used index
of proportionality.
• Body composition is a more sensitive indicator of infant nutritional status than
measures of size. Depending on the method used, measurements can provide the mass of
lean tissue, fat tissue, total body water, and bone. Methods vary greatly in terms of invasive-
ness, feasibility, cost, technology, need for trained personnel, accuracy, reliability, and pre-
cision. The most feasible methods for assessing infant body composition include anthropom-
etry (e.g., skinfold measurements), dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and isotope dilution.
A recent review concluded that for intergroup comparisons, skinfold thicknesses were use-
ful, but for individual infant assessments, DEXA was recommended (Koo, 2000). In the
absence of reference data based on a large sample of infants, the interpretation of body

composition outcomes should rest on the comparison of groups in randomized controlled

in Table 6-2.
RECOMMENDATION: Growth studies should include precise and reliable measure-
ments of weight and length velocity and head circumference. Duration of measurements
should cover at least the period when infant formula remains the sole source of nutrients
in the infant diet. Appropriate measures of body composition also require assessment.
Defining Normal Growth
The purpose of growth assessment is to determine whether a child is growing “nor-
mally.” The definition of normal, inadequate, or excess growth rests largely on comparison
of individual measurements with reference data that represent the distribution of sizes found
in healthy infants of a given age and sex. While there is no clear cut point to define a size at
which there is an abrupt elevation in risk of poor outcomes, measurements that fall above
the 95th or below the 5th percentiles of an accepted reference are typically cause for
concern. While short periods of abnormal growth rate may not be of concern, low or high
rates over several months may be related to increased morbidity risk, both in the long and
short term. Therefore a single measurement of attained size at a given age is not a sufficient
measure of growth. Repeated, appropriately spaced measurements are needed to calculate
growth rate. A clinical assessment of infant growth for the purpose of determining the safety
of an ingredient new to infant formulas must therefore be based on a longitudinal study,
with repeated measures at relatively frequent intervals during the period when growth is
most rapid and during the time period when formula serves as the sole source of infant
nutrition.
Identifying Appropriate Comparison Groups
As discussed in Chapter 3, there are challenges in selecting appropriate comparison
groups for clinical studies to assess the safety of infant formulas. The gold standard design—
the double-blind, randomized, controlled trial—randomly assigns comparable groups of
