• Research summary

  The purpose of this study is to investigate the tolerance (bowel movements / Gastro-Intestinal (GI) side effects) and acceptability (sensory qualities/volume) of AYMES SOFIA (a high energy oral nutritional supplement (ONS)) in patients requiring supplementary oral nutritional support compared with currently available ONS. It is of relevance to patients, health care professionals (HCP) and the general public as it provides data which can be submitted to the Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances (ACBS). The ACBS is the governing body that makes the decision whether or not an ONS can be prescribed in the community at the expense of the NHS.
