About this study
Official title: Tight Caloric Balance in ICU Patients: a Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study.
The aim of this study is to perform a prospective, randomized, controlled blinded study in critically patients to assess the necessity for measuring daily resting energy expenditure as a guide for nutritional support. Our hypothesis is that tight caloric control will reduce the rate of new infections.
Study Design :Multi-center, randomized, single blinded, controlled study. Study Population: newly-admitted, adult mechanically ventilated ICU patients.
Read the detailed description
Study objectives
To evaluate the effect of tight caloric control in critical patients on:
- The rate of acquired nosocomial infections (Ventilated associated pneumonia, Catheter related infections, Urinary tract infections)
- Mortality rates, length of stay in the ICU and in hospital, length of ventilation and incidence of non-infectious complications.
Primary endpoint:
Rate of nosocomial infections (for definitions see appendage 1) acquired after 48 to 72 hours following admission.
Secondary endpoints
- Metabolic control: glucose concentration, insulin administration, rate of hypoglycemic events.
- Success of tight caloric control: accumulative and maximum negative energy balance.
- Organ function: SOFA score.
- Rate of non-infectious complications: requirement for surgery or occurrence of pressure sores.
- Length of ICU stay and of assisted ventilation (LOS and LOV)
- ICU survival rate.
- Patient status and disposition on day 28 or at hospital discharge.
- 3 \& 6 months survival.
- Conditions
- Mechanical Ventilation Complication
- Being tested
- Indirect Calorimetry measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure .
- Keywords

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Indirect Calorimetry measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure .Dietary supplement
Patients in this group will receive enteral nutrition/parenteral nutrition or combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition according to the individual energy requirements calculated by Indirect Calorimetry.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control group | No intervention | Patients in this group will receive enteral nutrition/parenteral nutrition or combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition according to the "liberal " regimen, i.e. according to local practice. |
| Indirect Calorimetry | Experimental | Study group: Indirect Calorimetry (IC) Patients in this group will receive enteral nutrition/parenteral nutrition or combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition according to the individual energy requirements calculated by Indirect Calorimetry measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure (REE). Receives: Dietary Supplement: Indirect Calorimetry measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure . |
What is being measured

Rate of nosocomial infections
Rate of nosocomial infections acquired after 48 to 72 hours following admission up to day 28/or discharge will be evaluated

Secondary outcomes (2)
Metabolic control
Glucose concentration, insulin administration, rate of hypoglycemic events will be daily assessed
Measured: Day 1 up to day 28/or discharge
Caloric control
Success of tight caloric control:accumulative and maximum negative energy balance
Measured: Day 1 up to day 28/or discharge

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Pierre Singer, MD,Professor (972-3-9376521, psinger@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Rate of nosocomial infections (time frame: After 48 to 72 hours /daily assessment: within 28 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
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 Nov 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
