Participant Flow

Recruitment was conducted through Cystic Fibrosis Care Centers.

7-day Observation Period: Maintain usual enteral feeding (EF) regimen. 7-day Run-in period: Maintain usual EF volume up to a max of 1000 mL using standard formula for at least 5 days. 49 subjects signed consent; 5 screen failed; 44 started the observation period; 39 completed observation and run-in periods entering the treatment period.
