Evaluating the Utility of RELiZORB™ for Treating Feeding Intolerance in Critically Ill Adults With Multi-Organ Failure (NCT05710315)

Single-center, Proof of Concept, Prospective Study Evaluating the Utility of RELiZORB™ for the Treatment of Feeding Intolerance in Critically Ill Adults With Multi-Organ Failure

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ⚙️ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Inova Health Care Services

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this research is to determine if the use of RELiZORB™ improves nutrition tolerance and helps critically ill patients meet their nutrition goals. RELiZORB™ is a digestive enzyme cartridge that contains lipase and works as a pancreatic enzyme replacement. It promotes breaking down fat and helps the body absorb it. The device connects with tube feedings to help the body with digestion. RELiZORB™ is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use with tube feedings in patients 5 years of age or older. While the use of RELiZORB™ in this study is consistent with the FDA approval, the use of RELiZORB™ in patients with multi organ failure is not in the current standard of care practice at Inova Health Care facilities.
