About this study

Official title: Preoperative Use of the High Protein ONS vs Immunoenhancing ONS in Gastrointestinal Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery

Immunomodulating nutrition is supposed to reduce the number of complications and the legnth of the hospital stay during the postoperative period in patients after major gastrointestinal surgery. The aim of the study is to assess the clinical effect of immunomodulating oral nutrition in patients undergoing resection for gastrointestinal cancer in the group of well-nourished patients.

Read the detailed description

Between March 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020, a group of 300 well-nourished patients will be enrolled to the study and randomly assigned two one of two groups: A-high protein oral supplements (ONS) and B- immunomodulating ONS. The study is designed to test the hypothesis that immunonutrition and reduce the incidence of infectious complications after upper gastrointestinal surgery; the secondary objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of nutritional intervention on overall morbidity and mortality rates, and hospital stay.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing IMPACT and resource protein in people with General Surgery and Cancer of Colon, run by Stanley Dudrick's Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Poland.

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 2 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 26 Jul 2021. 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 Poland. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 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?

Infectious complications (time frame: 6 months). 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 26 Jul 2021.
