Recruiting studies
- NCT07422935Recruiting
Plant-protein tube feed study
This study tests whether a tube feed that gets most of its protein from plants is as good as a standard tube feed for people who need one at home. It looks at how well your body handles and uses the nutrients.

This trial checks if changes in blood flow to the stomach and intestines can predict gut injury in critically ill patients who need feeding through a tube. It uses a safe ultrasound test at the bedside.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07362537Recruiting
Feeding while on stomach for severe lung failure
This study tests if giving nutrition through a feeding tube is safe and effective for patients with severe lung failure who need to lie on their stomach to help breathing. It may help doctors understand how to best feed patients during this treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT07415616Enrolling by invitation
Cold vs warm tube feeding and stomach emptying in ICU
This study compares giving liquid food at room temperature (cold) versus body temperature (warm) through a feeding tube to see which helps the stomach empty better in ICU patients. It may help find a way to improve comfort and nutrition for people who need tube feeding.
BursaAges 18 years+ - NCT07115108Recruiting
High-energy feeding for growth and brain development in infants with heart disease
This study tests a special high-energy formula for babies with congenital heart disease who are at nutritional risk. It aims to see if this feeding helps them grow and develop better before and after heart surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges birth–6 months - NCT07176624Recruiting
Early prone positioning and tube feeding in ICU
This study tests whether early prone positioning (lying on your stomach) and early tube feeding can help people with severe lung failure in the ICU recover faster. It's for adults with organ failure and severe ARDS who can safely be placed on their stomach.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT05313464Enrolling by invitation
Parental feeding by tube to improve parent-child interaction
This study looks at whether giving a child nutrition through a tube affects how parents and children interact. The goal is to see if the feeding approach helps parent-child connection and daily interaction.
Créteil, Val-deMarneAges 7 months–7 months - NCT06535815Recruiting
Cyclic daytime feeding with ketogenic nighttime fasting for ICU patients
This trial tests a special feeding schedule where ICU patients receive nutrition during the day and fast at night, which may help their recovery. It aims to see if this approach is safe and beneficial.
Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06605144RecruitingPhase 3
Blood pressure management in critically ill patients
This study tests how best to manage blood pressure in critically ill patients using medicines called vasopressors. It aims to find the safest and most effective blood pressure target for people in the ICU.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05112328Recruiting
Pancreatic enzyme added to feeding for ICU adults
This study tests whether adding pancreatic digestive enzymes to tube feeding can improve digestion and outcomes in critically ill adults who have higher risk of not producing enough digestive enzymes. If you qualify, you may receive the enzyme supplement or a comparison treatment while you’re in the ICU.
Seoul, Jongno-guAges 18 years+ - NCT05906472Recruiting
Feeding through a tube after tracheostomy in the ICU
This study tests a specific way of continuing tube feeding for people who need a tracheostomy after being on a breathing tube in the ICU. The goal is to see if this feeding approach is safe and beneficial for recovery.
Danbury, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06609213Recruiting
Testing a nutrition drink before feeding tube placement in ALS
This trial tests if drinking a special nutrition formula for a few weeks before getting a feeding tube can help people with ALS tolerate tube feeding better. It aims to reduce side effects like bloating or discomfort.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06004063Recruiting
Liquid nutrition vs. usual diet in stem cell transplant patients
This study tests whether giving liquid nutrition through a feeding tube during stem cell transplant is better than the usual diet. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help patients feel better during recovery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04737200Recruiting
Overnight feeding to improve sleep in ICU heart surgery patients
This trial studies whether planned overnight nutrition (through a feeding tube) can reduce sleep problems and daily body-clock disruption while you’re in the ICU after certain heart surgery. It may help you get more restful sleep and better regular “wake–sleep” timing during recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06714240Recruiting
Extra protein to support muscle strength in ICU
This study tests whether giving extra protein through a feeding tube can help ICU patients maintain muscle strength. It may be an option for people who are expected to stay in the ICU for at least a week and need a breathing machine.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07173504Recruiting
Continuous vs. intermittent tube feeding in ICU patients
This trial compares giving tube feeding continuously versus taking breaks to see which approach helps critically ill patients' metabolism better. It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube and will be fed through a stomach tube.
Ede, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07504510Recruiting
Exclusive liquid nutrition for active Crohn's disease
This trial tests whether a special liquid-only diet (exclusive enteral nutrition) can help people with active Crohn's disease, including those with complications like fistulas or narrowing of the intestine. It aims to improve nutrition and reduce disease activity without medication.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07092423Recruiting
Special liquid tube feed for brain injury patients
This study tests a special liquid formula (semi-elemental nutrition) given through a feeding tube to people with severe traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this formula is easier on the stomach and causes fewer digestive problems than standard tube feeds.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06330610Recruiting
Intermittent tube feeding for organ failure in the ICU
This trial tests if giving tube feeding at certain times of day, instead of continuously, helps people on breathing machines recover from organ failure faster. It is for patients who need a breathing tube and are receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
Rouen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05647135Recruiting
High-protein tube feeds for multiple trauma ICU patients
This trial studies whether very high protein tube-feeding helps critically ill adults with multiple injuries recover better in the ICU. It compares feeding approaches during the time you need breathing support.
BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT07584577Recruiting
Nutrition Support During Cancer Treatment Before Surgery
This study tests whether a special feeding tube placed in the small intestine helps patients recover better after surgery for esophageal or stomach cancer. The tube delivers nutrition directly during chemotherapy or radiation before surgery.
