Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Enteral Feeding Intolerance
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01953081
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability and early efficacy of IV TD 8954 compared to metoclopramide in critically ill subjects, aged 18 to 85 years, who are admitted to the intensive care require mechanical ventilation, and are intolerant to enteral feeding.
