Recruiting studies
- NCT06330610Recruiting

BeijingAges 18 years+ - 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.
Trowbridge, WiltshireAges 16 years+ - NCT04707443Recruiting
Feeding support for newborns with a small-bowel stoma
This trial looks at how to provide nutrition by mouth or through a feeding tube (enteral feeding) for babies who have a small-bowel stoma (an opening made for stool to leave the body). It may help babies grow and get adequate nutrition while they recover.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 6 months - NCT06510348Recruiting
Feeding support for ventilated patients with gut issues
This trial tests a special approach to nutrition for patients on breathing machines who have trouble digesting food. It aims to see if the new method helps meet nutritional needs better.
BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT04475666Recruiting
Protein replacement through tube feeding in ICU patients
This study tests whether giving a different protein through tube feeding can help critically ill adults in the ICU. You may be eligible if you are already receiving nutrition through a stomach or gut tube and are on a breathing machine.
Jeddah, JeddahAges 18 years+ - NCT06943326Recruiting
How food given through a tube affects recovery in sepsis patients
This trial tests if the type of tube feeding given to sepsis patients in the ICU can affect their recovery. It aims to find the best diet to help fight the infection and prevent complications.
SanliurfaAges 18 years+ - NCT07433946Recruiting
Liquid nutrition to prevent weight loss in IBD
This study tests whether adding a special liquid nutrition drink (partial enteral nutrition) to your regular diet can help prevent weight loss and muscle loss in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are at risk of malnutrition.
Rozzano, MilanoAges 18–65 - 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 - 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 - NCT07519486RecruitingPhase 2
Nutrition support during cancer treatment before surgery
This trial tests whether intensive nutritional support helps patients with advanced esophageal cancer (a type of squamous cell carcinoma) respond better to treatment before surgery. The goal is to improve how well the cancer shrinks and prepare the body for a successful operation.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07038538Recruiting
Better method for placing feeding tubes in children
This study tests a better way to place a thin tube from the nose to the stomach (nasogastric tube) in hospitalized children. The goal is to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for kids who need it for feeding or medicine.
Shanghai, MinhangAges Up to 18 years - NCT06719596RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Probiotics and nutrition after pancreas surgery
This trial tests whether taking probiotics with a special liquid nutrition feed after pancreatic surgery can lower the chance of getting an infection. If you are scheduled for this surgery, you may be able to join.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06410443Recruiting
Steroid treatment for radiation-induced bowel injury
This trial tests if local steroids can help heal bowel damage caused by radiation therapy for cancer. It may reduce pain, bleeding, and urgency, and improve quality of life.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT06631001Recruiting
Abdominal massage for digestion in ICU patients on tube feeding
This study tests if gentle abdominal massage can improve digestion in intensive care patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving liquid food through a tube. It might help prevent gastrointestinal issues like bloating or slow digestion.
MersinAges 18 years+ - NCT07430969Recruiting
Muscle Stimulation and Amino Acids for ICU Patients on Ventilators
This trial tests whether giving muscle stimulation and amino acids can help patients in the ICU who are on a breathing machine to maintain their muscle protein. The study aims to prevent muscle wasting during critical illness.
EdeAges 18 years+ - NCT07219784Enrolling by invitation
Abdominal binders for feeding in preterm babies on breathing support
This study tests whether a soft abdominal binder (a wrap around the belly) helps preterm babies on breathing support keep their milk feeds going without interruptions. It might help reduce pauses in feeding and support growth.
Albany, New YorkAges Up to 1 year - NCT07178626Enrolling by invitation

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 59 recruiting enteral nutrition studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a enteral nutrition trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a enteral nutrition trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
