  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The population studied retrospectively will be adult patients in a chronic care facility dependent on enteral nutrition for 90% or more of their nutritional needs and meeting the inclusion/ exclusion criteria.

Who may be able to join

  • > 18 years of age on admission to facility
  • Prescribed enteral nutrition with the goal to provide at least 90% of estimated daily calorie and protein requirements for ≥ 2 weeks prior to switch
  • Received enteral nutrition with an intact protein formula for a minimum of three days prior to a switch to a peptide-based formula
  • Have documentation of intolerance to an intact protein formula, followed by a switch in formula received to a peptide-based formula
  • Receiving a peptide-based formula formula for ≥ 2 weeks
  • Have documentation of an assessment of feeding tolerance following the switch
  • Formulas received must be indicated for use in adults.

Who cannot join

  • Abdominal surgery (within past 30 days prior to switch)
  • Having any infection, including upper respiratory, viral, gastroenteritis,wound infections, c difficile, at time of switch
  • Having documented cow's milk protein allergy at time of switch
  • Medical records lacking information on rationale for switch to a peptide-based formula and/or response to change (positive, neutral or negative).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Feeding tolerance - Gastric residuals

    no change, tolerance improved, tolerance worsened

    Measured: Up to 30 days after formula switch

  2. Feeding tolerance - gagging/retching

    no change, tolerance improved, tolerance worsened

    Measured: Up to 30 days after formula switch

  3. Feeding tolerance - abdominal distension/gas

    no change, tolerance improved, tolerance worsened

    Measured: Up to 30 days after formula switch

  4. Feeding tolerance - vomiting

    no change, tolerance improved, tolerance worsened

    Measured: Up to 30 days after formula switch

  5. Feeding tolerance - stool consistency issues

    too hard, too loose

    Measured: Up to 30 days after formula switch

  6. Volume of formula consumed in a day vs. goal

    documentation of feeding volume after switch as "less than," "about the same as," or "more than" feeding volume achieved before switch

    Measured: Up to 30 days after formula switch

  7. Tube feeding interruptions

    Number of tube feeding interruptions

    Measured: Up to 30 days after formula switch

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Weight

    Measured body weight

    Measured: Prior to and up to 30 days following formula switch.

  2. Medication use

    Documented medication use

    Measured: Prior to and up to 30 days following formula switch.

  3. Caloric intake

    Measured daily calorie intake

    Measured: Up to 30 days after formula switch

  4. Protein intake

    Measured daily protein intake

    Measured: Up to 30 days after formula switch

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Enteral Feeding Intolerance, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feeding tolerance - Gastric residuals (time frame: Up to 30 days after formula switch). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jul 2019.
