Effect of Methylnaltrexone (Relistor) on Digestion and Tolerance to Tube Feeding in Patients Treated With Opiates

Tube Feeding Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effect Of Methylnaltrexone (Relistor™) on Gut Motility and Tolerance to Tube Feeding in Patients Treated With Opiate Therapy

Clinical Trial Summary

It is hypothesized that using methylnaltrexone in addition to pain killer narcotics (opiates) in patients will result in increased tube feeding rates with more frequent nutrition at goal calorie rate.

Clinical Trial Description

Tube feeding rates and tube feeding residual volumes will be measured and followed blinded to the treatment arm (methylnaltrexone vs. placebo) to evaluate if patients (who prior to study entry did not tolerate goal rates tube feeds) can get closer to tube feeding goal with the treatment arm. ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment
