Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Malnutrition
Registration Number
NCT06645184
Lead Sponsor
Nutricia Research
Brief Summary

Study to determine whether adding specific nutrients to a high-protein oral nutritional support (ONS), with and without fibre can reduce the feeling of satiety and may increase appetite in adults older than 65 years.
