• 4. Patient is on parenteral lipid and at least 30% of daily caloric and fluid intake has been provided by PN for a least 6 months prior to screening
• 5. Stable PN nutrition requirement, determined by less than 5% reduction in PN nutrition calories for at least 1 month prior to screening, or at the discretion of the investigator.
• 6. Screening direct bilirubin that is in the normal range for age and is not determined to be clinically significant by the investigator.
• 7. Subject has an existing feeding tube, is receiving enteral nutrition via a pump at a rate\>10ml/hr but \<120ml/hr, and is able to tolerate at least 10 ml/kg/day enteral nutrition.
• 8. Stable enteral nutrition requirement with no change in formula composition or rate for at least 1 month prior to screening.
