Peptide-based diet study for adults on home tube feeding
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special “peptide-based” diet helps people with obesity who rely on home tube feeding after a stroke. It aims to see if this diet is safe and beneficial for weight and overall health while you stay on the nutrition you need.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You receive home enteral nutrition (tube feeding) for at least 90% of your daily calories

- You do not currently have cancer that’s being actively treated (like chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy)

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 study tests whether specialized nutrition therapy can help patients who have trouble swallowing after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to improve recovery and quality of life for people who need a feeding tube after leaving the hospital.
This study looks at how healthy adults digest a special nutritional drink. Researchers want to understand normal digestion to help improve care for people with feeding tubes.
This study compares two ways of giving liquid food through a feeding tube to people who have had a severe stroke. It looks at whether giving the food in short bursts (intermittent) is better for recovery than giving it continuously.
This study tests whether giving a special nutritional drink along with pancreatic enzymes helps older hospital patients who are at risk of malnutrition. The goal is to improve their nutrition and overall health during their hospital stay.
This study tests whether giving food through a tube directly into the stomach can prevent pneumonia in people who have had a severe stroke and have trouble swallowing. It may help reduce the risk of a common complication after stroke.
