Ability to Meet Enteral Nutritional Needs with a Peptide-based, High Protein Formula

Prospective Study of Ability to Meet Nutritional Needs with a Peptide-based, High Protein Enteral Formula

This is a prospective, open-label single-arm observational clinical trial to assess enteral feeding nutrition goals with a peptide-based, high protein enteral formula.

This is a prospective, observational study to assess the ability to meet enteral nutrition goals and tolerance of a peptide-based, high protein tube feeding product in adult, tube-fed patients living in the community setting. In addition, the study will explore metabolic and inflammatory markers.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adults with established enteral access
• Anticipated to require enteral nutrition to provide 90% or more of their nutritional needs
• Signed informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Condition which contraindicates enteral feeding (i.e. intestinal obstruction)
• Any condition that would contraindicate use of the study product
• Patients with active colitis, radiation enteritis, SBS, undergoing active cancer treatment
• Judged to be at risk for poor compliance to the study protocol
• Participating in a conflicting clinical trial
