Elemental 028 Extra Case Studies

Elemental 028 Extra is a nutritionally complete ACBS approved amino acid-based (elemental) feed designed to provide adequate daily amounts of both macronutrients and micronutrients when used as a sole source of nutrition and to support patients with severe impairment of the gastrointestinal tract who may require an elemental diet. An upgraded formulation of Elemental 028 Extra with an increased energy, protein content micronutrient profile has been developed to better meet the nutritional requirements of patients. This series of case-studies aims to evaluate the acceptability, compliance, and gastrointestinal tolerance of the upgraded formulation of Elemental 028 Extra, in 30 adult and paediatric patients (15 powder and 15 liquid), with conditions where there is a severe impairment of the gastrointestinal tract, such as inflammatory bowel disease, short bowel syndrome, intractable malabsorption, allergic disease, and neurodegenerative diseases, and an elemental feed is required. The case study will last 29 days in total, including a 1-day baseline period followed by a 28-day intervention period. The case studies will be conducted across multiple centres in the UK, to meet the UK ACBS and GMS requirements for acceptability studies.
