About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Intensive Nutritional Supplement in Patient With Stroke: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study is to demonstrate the efficacy of Intensive Nutritional Supplement in Patient with Stroke.

Read the detailed description

Elderly patients, including those who have had a stroke, are more at risk of undernutrition than other groups because of reduced nutritional reserves, prolonged hospital stay and increased demands of repeated ill-health. Stroke may compound these problems because of physical and mental incapacity, problems with perception and communication, and swallowing disorders. The full extent of undernutrition and its independent contribution to stroke outcome is not presently known. It is also not known whether it can be corrected, and whether doing so would improve the outcome. The aim of this study is therefore to describe the efficacy of Intensive Nutritional Supplement in Patient with Stroke.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing high protein supplement in people with Stroke and Malnutrition, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 7 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jul 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Modified Barthel Index (MBI) Score at 6 Months (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01810263, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 2 Jul 2015.
