Trial summary

A prospective randomized clinical trial of all the patients undergoing Roux - en-Y gastric bypass will be performed. Patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups: those patients receiving a preoperative balanced energy high-protein formula (group 1) and those receiving preoperative Immunonutrition (group 2).

About this study

Official title: A Controlled, Randomized, Open Clinical Trial to Compare the Effect of Preoperatory Treatment With Immunonutrition vs Hyperproteic Nutritional Supplements on Postoperative Inflammation Markers in Patients Going Through Bariatric Surgery

A prospective randomized clinical trial of all the patients undergoing Roux - en-Y gastric bypass will be performed. Patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups: those patients receiving a preoperative balanced energy high-protein formula (group 1) and those receiving preoperative Immunonutrition (group 2). Changes between groups in acute inflamatory markers, pain, postoperative septic complications and lenght of stay, among others will be investigated.

A prospective randomized clinical trial of all the patients undergoing Roux - en-Y gastric bypass will be performed. Patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups: those patients receiving a preoperative balanced energy high-protein formula (group 1) and those receiving preoperative Immunonutrition (group 2). Changes between groups in acute inflamatory markers (CRP, fibrinogen, leucocites), pain (VAS scale), postoperative septic complications .(anastomotic leak and organ/space SSI)and lenght of stay, among others will be investigated.

What participants receive

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

  • ImmunonutritionDietary supplement

    Balanced high-protein formula enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids. 200 ml of formula every 8 hours during 10 days preoperatively

  • Balanced high-protein formulaDietary supplement

    Balanced high-protein formula, without Omega-3 fatty acids. 200 ml of formula every 8 hours during 10 days preoperatively

    Measured: 24h after surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Decrease in systemic inflamatory response in terms of other inflamatory biomarkers

    Mean decrease in leukocite count, fibrinogen

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery

  2. Postoperative pain

    Mean VAS score

    Measured: 24h after surgery

  3. Complications

    Rate of complications

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  4. In-hospital stay

    In-hospital stay

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  5. Number of readmissions

    Number of readmissions

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  6. Adverse Events Ocurrence

    AE rate

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Immunonutrition and Balanced high-protein formula in people with Postoperative Complications, run by Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria de la Fundación Jiménez Díaz at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2018. 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 Spain. 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.

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?

Decrease in systemic inflamatory response in terms of CRP (time frame: 24h after surgery). 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 NCT03010280, 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 14 Feb 2018.
