Is your child primarily tube fed?
Would you like to help them learn to eat by mouth?
The National Institutes of Health is funding a research study looking at a way to transition a child from tube feeding to oral feeding.
Children from 9 months old to 8 years old are eligible to participate in this 6 month study. Your child will be randomly assigned to receive an experimental drug or placebo and receive feeding skills coaching to help your child learn to eat by mouth.
There is no cost to participate. Once entered into the study, all visits with the research team are also provided at no cost. We will closely monitor your child throughout the study.
