Summary

This study compares new plant-protein tube feeds to standard animal-protein ones in adults who need tube feeding at home. Over 110 participants will try the plant-based feed for 3 months, with follow-ups up to a year. Researchers will check gut comfort, how well patients accept the feed, and their nutrition and strength.

Active substance

plant-protein dominant enteral tube feed

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that plant-protein tube feeds are a viable alternative to animal-protein ones, offering more options for home tube-fed patients.

What could go wrong

This is an early exploratory trial with only 110 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study focuses on tolerance and nutrition, not long-term health outcomes.
