ClinConnect Summary

The WeWin Study is a clinical trial focused on understanding how pediatric patients with intestinal failure can successfully stop using parenteral nutrition (PN), which is a way to get nutrients through an IV when the intestines aren’t working properly. The study aims to gather information from children under 18 years old who have been off PN for at least a year. This research is important because it can help improve the quality of life for young patients who rely on this type of nutrition.

If your child is eligible, they will join a multicenter study, meaning it will take place at multiple hospitals. The main requirement for participation is that they must have been using parenteral nutrition for at least one year and have a history of intestinal failure. It’s also essential that they or their guardians give consent to join the study. Participants can expect to be part of a supportive environment that aims to gather important data on their health journey and improve care for future patients.
