Validcare is conducting a Growth Monitoring Study (GMS) for Bubs Australia providing visibility and control to complete study on time, and on budget.
DENVER, CO, UNITED STATES, September 19, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Validcare announces it contracted with Bubs Australia to run its Growth Monitoring Study (GMS) of 440 healthy term infants. The study’s purpose is to demonstrate acceptable growth and tolerance for three of its products to achieve permanent U.S. market authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) while it continues to import under the FDA’s enforcement discretion policy.
Richard Paine, COO of Bubs Australia said, “Validcare’s performance-based model, plus decades of infant formula experience, provides us with confidence in their management of this large-scale study. Their approach automates almost all study interactions and data collection from recruitment through database lock, versus traditional methods.”
Validcare’s smart data capture system proactively directs investigators to perform additional measurements when variances are out of protocol limits, then calculates a final input.
“The ability for clinical research investigators to enter data electronically into Validcare’s clinical study platform enhances protocol compliance,” said Michael B. Montalto, PhD scientific and regulatory advisor for Bubs Australia. “This smart data capture system improves data integrity and makes it easy for clinicians to accurately enter growth data and for parents to report product tolerance from home.”
This nationwide study measures growth and tolerance of healthy-term infants consuming Bubs’ infant formulas, monitored by healthcare professionals at 13 clinical research sites with additional input from parents and caregivers. The study evaluates all three of the Bubs Stage 1 formulas in the market (one goat’s milk and two cow’s milk products), and a commercially available formula as the control. Additionally, the study contains a breastfeeding group for reference.
Rod Nuss, COO of Validcare added, “This is one of the largest infant formula studies on record. We are excited to earn the trust of Bubs Australia to gather the data necessary for the FDA. Our team, together with the investigators, is well positioned to deliver high quality data on budget and in advance of the FDA’s September 2024 deadline.”
The study is approved by Advarra’s Institutional Review Board and registered on clinicaltrials.gov. For more information on eligibility for the Bubs Growth Monitoring Study, please visit validcare.com/bubs-gms.
