What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in % body fat at baseline, day +30, and day +100.

    Measured: day 30

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Body composition measured by DXA, BIA, and 4-site skinfolds.

    Measured: baseline, day 30, and day 100

  2. Changes in body composition from baseline to day +100.

    Measured: day 100

  3. Insulin resistance, defined by HOMA, at each time point.

    Measured: baseline, day 30, and day 100

  4. Measured resting energy expenditure (REE) at each time point.

    Measured: baseline, day 30, and day 100

  5. Changes in percent predicted REE between the two groups.

    Measured: baseline, day 30, and day 100

  6. Correlation between body composition and measured REE.

    Measured: baseline, day 30, and day 100

  7. Resumption of oral intake.

    Measured: day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing parenteral nutrition titrated to measured REE in people with Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, run by Boston Children's Hospital.

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 11 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 13 Feb 2013. 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. 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 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?

Changes in % body fat at baseline, day +30, and day +100. (time frame: day 30). 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 NCT00115258, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 13 Feb 2013.
