Early high-calorie formula for infants with single ventricle heart condition
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether starting a special high-calorie formula (Fortini) early helps infants with a single ventricle heart condition grow better and have fewer health problems between surgeries. It might improve outcomes before their next surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby has a heart condition where only one lower chamber (ventricle) works well.
- They have already had the first heart surgery (like the Norwood procedure).
- They are medically stable and ready to leave the hospital.
- They are fed by mouth, a tube through the nose, or a tube directly into the stomach.
- They are 6 months old or younger when leaving the hospital.
- They do not have a serious gut problem or allergy to cow's milk formula.

This study tests a special high-energy formula for babies with congenital heart disease who are at nutritional risk. It aims to see if this feeding helps them grow and develop better before and after heart surgery.
This study compares two ways of boosting calories in young children with congenital heart disease who are underweight: a high-calorie diet versus a high-calorie formula (drink). The goal is to see which approach helps them gain weight better and supports their growth.
This study tests whether adding extra nutrition (fortifying) to donated breast milk helps very premature infants grow better and safely. You might be offered a fortified donor milk feeding plan if your baby meets the timing and medical criteria.
This trial tests whether a special nutritional support formula rich in medium-chain fats can help infants with biliary atresia after the Kasai procedure. It may support feeding and liver recovery during the early months after surgery.
This study tests a special nutrient additive that goes into breast milk to help premature babies grow stronger. If your baby is very premature and fed human milk, this fortifier may help them get the extra calories and nutrients they need.
