About this study
Official title: Enteral Nutrition Support in Children and Adolescents With Cancer: a Non-randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Tumor and its therapy have adverse effects on the nutritional status of cancer patients, leading to nutritional support. The aim was to study enteral nutrition indications, as well as its compliance and the impact on nutritional status.
DESIGN AND SETTING: Clinical trial, IOP, Unifesp-EPM.
METHODS: Patients older than 1 year followed during anticancer therapy were included from January 2002 to January 2004. They received industrialized oral supplementation - Nutren 1.0 or Jr (IOS) and were followed on a weekly basis and reevaluated on weeks 3, 8 and 12: at these times, if inadequate outcome was observed, tube feeding with the same supplement (TFR) was indicated.

industrialized oral supplementation (IOS) and tube feeding regimen (TFR) with NutrenDietary supplement
The oral and tube supplement offered was Nutren Jr® (for patients aged 1 - 9 years) or Nutren 1.0- Nestlé Clinical Nutrition-Brazil (for those aged 10 years or over). This supplement was a whole powder formulation that presented a macro composition of 52% carbohydrates, 12% proteins and 36% lipids. Its vitamins were A, D, E, K, B complex, biotin and choline; its trace elements were iron, copper, zinc, manganese, selenium, chromium and molybdenum; its macroelements were potassium, calcium, sodium, chlorine, iodine, magnesium and phosphorus; and it contained taurine and L-carnitine presenting 1.0 kcal/ml.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing industrialized oral supplementation (IOS) and tube feeding regimen (TFR) with Nutren in people with Malnutrition and Cancer, run by Grupo de Apoio ao Adolescente e a Crianca com Cancer.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Feb 2011.
