Kids off IV nutrition: are they thriving?
NCT ID NCT06525753
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 120 children with intestinal failure who have stopped receiving nutrition through an IV (parenteral nutrition) for at least a year. Researchers want to see if these children grow up healthy by checking for poor growth, vitamin shortages, weak bones, unusual body composition, and delayed puberty. The goal is to understand what health issues may arise after stopping IV nutrition so doctors can provide better long-term care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could reveal long-term health outcomes for children weaned off parenteral nutrition, guiding better follow-up care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve health. Results may not apply to all patients due to the small sample size.
