About this study

Official title: Early Parenteral Nutrition in Patients With Biliopancreatic Mass Lesions (NUPAN), a Prospective Randomized Interventional Trial

Patients with biliopancreatic tumors are at risk for malnutrition and have to undergo many procedures for diagnostic workup that require fasting periods. In a prospective randomized monocentric study we evaluate the effect of additional parenteral nutrition on weight loss, nutritional status, quality of life and length of hospital stay.

Read the detailed description

Patients with pancreatic and biliary tract cancer suffer from weight loss, malnutrition and cachexia. These factors are associated with poor prognosis, reduction in quality of life and a higher risk of complications during treatment. Moreover, patients undergo fasting periods during their diagnostic work-up at hospital that worsens malnutrition.

This is a prospective randomized monocentric study to investigate, whether parenteral nutritional supplementation may have an impact on weight loss, nutritional status, quality of life and length of hospital stay in patients with tumors of the pancreas or biliary tract. Patients either receive 1 l Olimel peri 2.5 %® (Baxter Germany GmbH Medication Delivery, Unterschleißheim, Germany containing 700 kcal, 25.3 g protein, 30.0 g fat and 75.0 g glucose) on fasting days or 1 l of isotonic fluid (E153, Berlin-Chemie AG, Berlin, Germany) in the control group. A hospital stay of at least three days is required. Patients are assessed for anthropometric measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis, quality of life and length of hospital stay.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Olimel Peri 2.5% ®Dietary supplement

    During hospital stay patients received 1 l Olimel peri 2.5 %® containing 700 kcal (25.3 g protein, 30.0 g fat and 75.0 g glucose) daily by intravenous route.

  • Isotonic fluid (E153)Dietary supplement

    Controls received 1l of isotonic fluid daily by intravenous route.

What is being measured

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

  1. Weight loss

    Influence of Olimel Peri 2.%% ® on body weight

    Measured: ≥ 3 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Nutritional status

    Bioelectrical analysis (BIA) was performed. BCM/ECM index, phase angle, body fat were measured.

    Measured: ≥ 3 days

  2. Quality of life

    Quality of life was determined using the European EORTC QLQ-C30 form.

    Measured: ≥ 3 days

  3. Length of hospital stay

    Length of hospital stay was calculated in days.

    Measured: ≥ 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Olimel Peri 2.5% ® and Isotonic fluid (E153) in people with Weight Loss and Pancreatic Cancer, run by University Medicine Greifswald.

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 2 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 1 Feb 2016. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Weight loss (time frame: ≥ 3 days). 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 NCT02670265, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Feb 2016.
