Feeding tube timing under investigation: no DIET trial seeks answers
NCT ID NCT06431048
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the best time to stop tube feeding before surgery for people who have a feeding tube or a tracheostomy. Currently, there is little guidance on when to pause nutrition. The study will measure stomach contents after stopping feeding at different times. It involves 120 adults and aims to provide clearer recommendations.
