5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of ReliZORB improves nutrition tolerance and helps critically ill patients meet their nutrition goals. Subjects in the intensive care unit will be enrolled and randomized 2:1 to receive ReliZORB or placebo cartridges with enteral feedings for 5 days. Blood and stool samples will be collected to test for nutrition and inflammation.
