Brief Summary

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

This non-randomized pilot study aims to investigate whether a protein rich nutritional shake (Ensure Enlive) given to patients pre-transplant will decrease skeletal muscle loss (measured by quadriceps ultrasound) and improve nutritional state (measured by Nutritional Risk Index). A nutritional supplement would be a cost-effective solution to treat malnutrition, a known risk factor implicated in poor outcomes for lung transplant recipients.
