About this study

A multicentre, prospective, open-label, single arm study for 2 months, involving adult patients under poorly tolerated Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN). The study aims to analyse the evolution of tolerance and quality of life of HEN patients after switching from a High Protein High Energy (HPHE) polymeric Enteral Nutrition (EN) formula with or without fibre to Sondalis® HP 2kcal, with or without fibre. Eligible patients will give their written consent to participate before being included into the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation tolerance from baseline after 2 months: Total Score

    The digestive tolerance of enteral nutrition is assessed using a patient reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire designed by clinicians. The questionnaire is composed of 9 items corresponding to the most frequent symptoms: gastro-oesophageal reflux, nausea, vomiting, feeling of an overfull stomach, bloating, flatulence, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea. Each item includes questions relating to the frequency and impact of the symptom on daily life.

    Measured: 60 days

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Evaluation of Tolerance from baseline to one month and from one month to two months: Total Score

    Same PRO than above

    Measured: 60 days

  2. Evaluation of Tolerance at baseline,one and two months: for each Items

    Same PRO than above

    Measured: 60 days

  3. Evolution of quality of life

    The quality of life is assessed with the NutriQoL® score described by Bischoff et al (Bischoff et al, 2020).

    The evolution of quality of life is evaluated between baseline, 1 month and 2 months after administration of the intervention.

    The NutriQoL® questionnaire is a specific tool to measure HRQoL in patients receiving HEN regardless of the underlying disease and the route of administration. It consists of 17 items grouped in two dimensions, which assess physical functioning, and activities of daily living and aspects of social life.

    Measured: 60 days

  4. Evolution of anthropometric measures: handgrip test

    The anthropometric measures are assessed with the handgrip test as recommended by SFNCM (Bossu-Estour et al, 2021).

    The evolution of anthropometric measures is evaluated between baseline, 1 month and 2 months after administration of the intervention.

    The Handgrip Test uses the Hand Grip Jamar® hydraulic hand dynamometers and the measurements are carried out according to the recommendations published by the "Comité Educationnel et de Pratique Clinique" of the SFNCM.

    Measured: 60 days

  5. Evolution of anthropometric measures: body weight evolution

    The anthropometric measures are assessed with the body weight evolution. The Weight is measured at the same time of day and under the same conditions (e.g. clothing).

    Measured: 60 days

  6. Evolution of food intake

    The food intake is assessed with the Food intake score (SEFI®). The evolution of food intake is evaluated between baseline, 1 month and 2 months after administration of the intervention.

    SEFI® allows a visual assessment of the patient's food intake, using a visual analogue scale, or a choice between consuming portions. The analogue scale is from 0: "I have eaten nothing" to 10: "I have eaten all".

    Measured: 30 days

  7. Evolution of observance: score

    The observance data are assessed with a score based on a questionnaire. The questionnaire assesses the frequency of difficulties in consuming the entire enteral nutrition prescription.

    The evolution of observance is evaluated between baseline, 1 month and 2 months after administration of the intervention.

    Measured: 30 days

  8. Evolution of observance: number of bags

    The observance data are assessed with the number of bags unused for 1 month. The evolution of observance is evaluated between baseline, 1 month and 2 months after administration of the intervention.

    Measured: 30 days

  9. Evolution of Enteral Nutrition (EN) prescription procedure: Volume

    The EN prescription procedure is assessed with the volume per 1 month administered.

    The evolution of EN prescription is evaluated between baseline, 1 month and 2 months after administration of the intervention.

    Measured: 30 days

  10. Evolution of Enteral Nutrition (EN) prescription procedure: Time

    The EN prescription procedure is assessed with the administration time per 1 month administered.

    The evolution of EN prescription is evaluated between baseline, 1 month and 2 months after administration of the intervention.

    Measured: 30 days

  11. Evolution of Enteral Nutrition (EN) prescription procedure: Number of Bags

    The EN prescription procedure is assessed with the number of bags per 1 month administered.

    The evolution of EN prescription is evaluated between baseline, 1 month and 2 months after administration of the intervention.

    Measured: 30 days

  12. Evolution of Enteral Nutrition (EN) prescription procedure: Supplementary Hydration

    The EN prescription procedure is assessed with the supplementary hydration per 1 month administered.

    The evolution of EN prescription is evaluated between baseline, 1 month and 2 months after administration of the intervention.

    Measured: 30 days

  13. Safety events reporting

    The safety is assessed with the report of safety events during the entire study period.

    Study adverse events are classified by system organ class (SOC), preferred terms (PT) in accordance with the current version of the Medical dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), causality and seriousness.

    Measured: 60 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sondalis® HP 2 kcal (with or without fibre) in people with Malnutrition, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The study has been stopped prematurely for lack of inclusions). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation tolerance from baseline after 2 months: Total Score (time frame: 60 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2025.
