Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicentre, prospective, open-label study aims to evaluate the tolerance and quality of life in adult patients undergoing home enteral nutrition (HEN) who are currently using a high protein high energy (HPHE) formula. Participants will switch to the Sondalis® HP 2 kcal formula, with or without fiber, for a duration of two months. The study will assess the evolution of tolerance through a questionnaire and monitor the overall quality of life of the patients. Written consent will be obtained from all eligible participants before inclusion in the study.
