Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the trial is to investigate safety and tolerability of an Omega-3-FA-enriched lipid emulsion in adult patients with chronic intestinal failure in need of long-term HPN. It is aimed to show non-inferiority of the lipid emulsion Lipidem (investigational test product) in comparison to the lipid emulsion Lipofundin MCT (investigational reference product) with regard to liver function.

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Signed informed consent available
* Male or female patients ≥ 18 years of age
* Patients with chronic intestinal failure receiving HPN including lipids in whom the parenteral macronutrients have not been changed by more than 10% for at least 3 months

Exclusion:

* Persistent high total bilirubin values in medical history of last 6 months (\> 40µmol/l)

* Severe hyperlipidemia, including severe hypertriglyceridaemia (≥1000 mg/dl or 11.4 mmol/l)
* Severe coagulopathy
* Intrahepatic cholestasis
* Severe hepatic insufficiency
* Severe renal insufficiency in absence of renal replacement therapy

* Known or suspected drug or alcohol abuse
* Patients who are unwilling or mentally and/or physically unable to adhere to study procedures
* Participation in another interventional clinical trial in parallel or within three months prior to the start of this clinical trial
* Any medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator might put the subject at risk or interfere with patients participation For women with childbearing potential (i.e. females who are not chemically or surgically sterile or females who are not post-menopausal)
* Women of childbearing potential tested positive on standard pregnancy test (urine dipstick)
* Lactation
* Women of childbearing potential who do not agree to apply adequate contraception
