About this study

Official title: Perioperative Nutritional Optimization in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

This randomized clinical trial studies how well Nestle Impact Advanced Recovery works in improving surgery recovery in patients with head and neck cancer. Adding a nutritional supplement, such as Nestle Impact Advanced Recovery to a regular diet before and after head and neck cancer surgery may help to decrease the number of wound complications after surgery.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Assess the effect of perioperative use of Nestle Impact Advanced Recovery (AR) on the rate of post-operative wound complications within 30 days after major head and neck surgery.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Assess whether sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for the development of post-operative wound complications.

II. Assess whether Nestle IMPACT AR decreases the rate of other post-operative complications such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, deep vein thrombosis, and clostridium difficile colitis within 30 days of surgery, as well as length of hospital stay.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Assess changes in muscle metabolic gene expression at the time of surgery associated with sarcopenia and IMAPCT treatment.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized into 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Patients receive Nestle Impact AR for 5 days before and after surgery in addition to regular diet.

GROUP I: Patients receive regular diet.

After completion of study, patients are followed up for 30 days post-surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of post-operative wound complications

    A patient is found to have a post-operative complication is one of the following is observed: wound infection, seroma, wound dehiscence, fistula formation, free tissue flap loss. A 2-sided 95% confidence interval will also be calculated for each arm, using exact methods, and chi square testing will be performed to compare the incidence of wound complications within 30 days after surgery between control and experimental groups. A multivariate analysis of the primary endpoint will be performed with logistic regression to include study treatment, presence of sarcopenia, prior radiation therapy, a

    Measured: Within 30 days after major head and neck surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Rate of other post-operative complications

    Will assess whether Nestle IMPACT Advanced Recovery (AR) decreases the rate of other post-operative complications within 30 days after surgery such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, deep vein thrombosis, and clostridium difficile colitis as well as length of hospital stay. Will be analyzed using chi square testing. The analysis of the length of the stay (LOS) for patients in each arm will be analyzed using the Kaplan Meier method for estimation of summary statistics including the 25th, 50th (median), and 75th percentiles and associated 95% confidence intervals. Patients that die prior to

    Measured: Within 30 days after surgery

  2. Sarcopenia

    Will assess whether sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for the development of 30-day post-operative wound complications. Will be analyzed using chi square testing.

    Measured: Within 30 days after major head and neck surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Best Practice, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Nutritional Intervention in people with Head and Neck Carcinoma, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2020. 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 States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Rate of post-operative wound complications (time frame: Within 30 days after major head and neck surgery). 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 Feb 2020.
