Summary

This study tests whether a special medical food called LH VIOLA, taken as a partial replacement for regular meals, can help people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are at risk of malnutrition maintain or regain weight and muscle strength. About 146 participants will either receive nutritional counseling alone or counseling plus the supplement for 16 weeks. The main goal is to see if more people in the supplement group can keep or gain weight.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
LH VIOLA (a specialized medical food supplement)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple nutritional supplement to help IBD patients avoid dangerous weight loss and muscle wasting.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage nutritional study, not a drug trial. The supplement may not significantly improve weight or muscle strength, and some patients may have trouble tolerating it.
