Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the treatment effect of intravenous TAK-954 in improving the average daily protein adequacy received through enteral nutrition in critically-ill participants developing EFI.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-954. The study will assess the treatment effect of intravenous TAK-954 in improving average daily protein adequacy received through enteral nutrition in critically ill participants with EFI.

The study will enroll approximately 200 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the 4 treatment groups -which will remain undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):

  • Group A: TAK-954 0.1 mg
  • Group B: TAK-954 0.3 mg
  • Group C: TAK-954 1 mg
  • Group D: Metoclopramide 10 mg

This multi-center trial will be conducted in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. The overall duration of treatment in this study is maximum of 14 days while in hospital. Participants will be contacted by telephone 30 and 90 days after receiving their last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Has at least a size 12-(french size) Fr nasogastric or orogastric tube with its tip at least 10 centimeter (cm) below the esophagogastric junction confirmed radiologically (the tip of the tube must be in the body or the antrum of the stomach and not in the fundus).

  3. Is expected to remain alive, mechanically ventilated, and receive continuous enteral feeding for >=48 hours following randomization.
  4. Have EFI, defined as a single GRV measurement of >=250 mL with vomiting/retching within the last 24 hours, or a single GRV measurement of >=500 mL with or without vomiting/retching within the last 24 hours.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Is under consideration for withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments within the next 72 hours.
  2. Has had major esophageal or gastric surgery or direct luminal trauma on this admission (participants with lower abdominal surgery are not excluded unless enteral feeding is ).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Average Daily Protein Adequacy Over the First 5 Days of Treatment

    Average daily protein adequacy received through enteral nutrition is defined as the percentage of goal protein delivered per day, where percentage of goal protein delivered is calculated as the ratio of actual protein achievement to the total participant-specific target protein prescribed. The value for each of the 5 days was averaged.

    Time frame: Days 1 to 5

Secondary outcomes

  1. Average Daily Protein Adequacy Over the Study Treatment Period

    Average daily protein adequacy received through enteral nutrition is defined as percentage of goal protein delivered per day, where percentage of protein goal delivered is calculated as the ratio of actual protein achievement to the total participant-specific target protein prescribed. The value for each of the 14 days was averaged.

    Time frame: Days 1 to 14

  2. Average Daily Change in 24-hour Gastric Residual Volume (GRV) Over the First 5 Days of Study Treatment

    GRV is defined as the volume of fluid remaining in the stomach at a point in time during enteral nutrition feeding. The value for each of the 5 days was averaged.

    Time frame: Days 1 to 5

  3. Average Daily Caloric Adequacy

    Average daily caloric adequacy received through enteral nutrition was defined by percentage of goal calories achieved per day (percentage calorie goal achieved=actual calorie achievement/total participant-specific target calories). The values in the 5-day period and the 14-day period were averaged.

    Time frame: Days 1 to 5 and Days 1 to 14

  4. Time to Resolution of Enteral Feeding Intolerance (EFI)

    Time to resolution of EFI is defined as the time needed to achieve GRV less than or equal to 250 ml in the absence of vomiting/retching.

    Time frame: Days 1 to 14 or until resolution of EFI, whichever occurs first

  5. Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least 80% of Daily Goal Calories

    Time frame: Days 1 to 14 or end of treatment

  6. Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least 80% of Daily Goal Protein

    Time frame: Days 1 to 14 or end of treatment

  7. Ctrough: Observed Concentration at the End of a Dosing Interval of TAK-954

    Time frame: Day 5 pre-dose

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — Takeda makes patient-level, de-identified data sets and associated documents available after applicable marketing approvals and commercial availability have been received, an opportunity for the primary publication of the research has been allowed, and other criteria have been met as set forth in Takeda's Data Sharing Policy (see www.TakedaClinicalTrials.com/Approach for details). To obtain access, researchers must submit a legitimate academic research proposal for adjudication by an independent review panel, who will review the scientific merit of the research and the requestor's qualifications and conflict of interest that can result in potential bias. Once approved, qualified researchers who sign a data sharing agreement are provided access to these data in a secure research environment.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 24, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
