Could extra calories via feeding tube slow ALS?
NCT ID NCT06877143
First seen May 21, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a high-calorie diet given through a feeding tube can slow the progression of ALS, a disease that weakens muscles. Researchers will compare a diet with 20% more calories than needed to a standard-calorie diet in 76 people with ALS who already use a feeding tube. The main goal is to see if the extra calories reduce levels of a nerve damage marker in the blood after 6 months.
