Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

I-FEED Post Operative Day 3

To evaluate the efficacy of oral ORE-001 compared to placebo in reducing the gastrointestinal disturbance/intolerance and the occurrence of postoperative ileus (POI) in patients after longitudinal laparotomy defined by scoring of the postoperative I-FEED scores at POD3. The I-FEED score ranges from 0 to 14. The higher the score the more severe are the symptoms.
