Short vs. whole protein formula for sepsis in the ICU
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a short protein formula or a whole protein formula is better for early nutrition in patients with sepsis. If you are in the ICU with sepsis and can safely take food through a tube, this study may help find which type of protein helps you recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You were admitted to the ICU within the last 24 hours
- You have been diagnosed with sepsis (a severe infection affecting your whole body)
- You do not have a hole, bleeding, or blockage in your stomach or intestines that would prevent tube feeding
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for more than 7 days

This study tests whether a personalized nutrition formula can improve outcomes for critically ill patients in the ICU. It aims to see if tailored nutrition helps with recovery and overall health.
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.
This trial tests whether adding L-citrulline to tube feeding (enteral nutrition) can improve outcomes for people in the ICU with sepsis or septic shock. It may help support the body’s immune response while you’re critically ill.
This trial tests whether a high-protein diet or standard protein diet is better for critically ill patients who are at risk for refeeding syndrome (dangerous shifts in fluids and minerals when starting nutrition after starvation). The goal is to see which type of nutrition helps recovery.
This study tests different amounts of protein given through a feeding tube to patients on breathing machines in the ICU. Researchers want to see if the right amount of protein helps critically ill patients recover better.
This study tests whether giving special nutrition and starting rehabilitation early can improve recovery in adults with sepsis. It may help the body heal better after a serious infection, as long as you meet specific safety and health criteria.
