What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in four-metre gait speed (m/s) following nutritional support

    Measured: Change from baseline to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in weight (kg) following nutritional support

    Measured: Change from baseline to 12 weeks

  2. Change in fat free mass (kg) as measured by bioelectrical impedence following nutritional support

    Measured: Change from baseline to 12 weeks

  3. Change in fat free mass index (kg/m2) as measured by bioelectrical impedence following nutritional support

    Measured: Change from baseline to 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Food fortification and Oral Nutritional Supplements in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive and Respiratory Tract Diseases, run by Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 Nov 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 United Kingdom. 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 phase mean?

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?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change in four-metre gait speed (m/s) following nutritional support (time frame: Change from baseline to 12 weeks). 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 2 Nov 2015.
