NCT ID NCT07422792
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how much protein people with chronic intestinal failure need when they receive nutrition through a vein at home. The goal is to better understand their protein use and improve personalized nutrition mixtures. Researchers will also study gut bacteria and fatty acid metabolism. The study involves 40 participants and uses stable isotope tracers to measure protein building in the body.
