Plant-Protein Dominant Tube Feed Study

Plain-language summary

This study aims to determine whether a reformulated plant-protein dominant protein blend in four existing enteral tube feeds is as effective as animal-protein dominant formulations in patients who are tube fed at home. This is an exploratory randomised, controlled, trial with a 3-day baseline period. Adult home tube feeding patients will be randomised to receive either a plant-protein dominant formulation or a control product (an animal-protein dominant formulation) for a 3-month intervention period followed by a 6-month and 12-month follow-up. The outcomes include gastrointestinal tolerance, compliance, acceptability, anthropometry, nutrient intake, and physical function
