Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with CKD stage 3b-5 and a history of eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 who have not started dialysis and are not expected to start within 3 months.

Probably not a fit

Patients who require ongoing dialysis or are about to start dialysis within 3 months may not benefit from this formula.

What this trial studies

This interventional trial will use Renalive LP as the intervention for adults with CKD stages 3b-5 and a history of eGFR below 45 mL/min/1.73 m2. Participants who have not started dialysis and are not expected to begin within three months are included. The study will monitor nutritional status and safety to determine if the formula supports better calorie intake with lower protein. No comparator is specified in the available information. The lead sponsor is Fresenius Kabi Taiwan Ltd., with studies conducted at two hospitals in Taiwan.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved nutritional status and energy intake with a high-energy, low-protein formula.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in similar CKD populations have explored specialized nutrition formulas with varying results; this trial appears to assess a specific Renalive LP product.
