Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: HIV-associated Enteropathy

• Registration Number: NCT01828593
• Lead Sponsor: Entera Health, Inc

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the oral nutritional therapy serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin protein isolate (SBI) 2.5 g twice a day (BID) and SBI 5.0 g versus placebo on supporting nutrient absorption in HIV+ subjects with HIV-associated enteropathy.

Detailed Description

This study is evaluating the effectiveness of the oral nutritional therapy serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin protein isolate (SBI) 2.5g BID and SBI 5.0g compared to placebo for 6 months on gastrointestinal symptoms, nutritional status and quality of life in HIV+ subjects with HIV-associated enteropathy.
