Abstract
BACKGROUND: Delayed gastric emptying is the leading cause of enteral feeding intolerance (EFI) in critical illness. This phase 2a study compared TAK-954, a selective agonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine type 4 receptors, with metoclopramide in critically ill patients with EFI (NCT01953081). METHODS: A blinded, double-dummy trial was conducted in mechanically ventilated patients with EFI (>200 mL gastric residual volume within 24 hours before randomization). Patients were randomized to receive either 0.5 mg intravenous TAK-954 over 1 hour then 0.9% saline injection 4 times/d (sham metoclopramide) or the active comparator 10 mg intravenous metoclopramide 4 times/d and a 1-hour 0.9% saline infusion. ..
