About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Controlled, Randomized, Study Evaluating the Clinical Efficacy, Including Nutritional Status, Immune Function and Safety of Omegaven (w-3 Fish Oil) Supplemented Parenteral Nutrition in Subjects of SICU.

  1. A prospective, controlled, randomized, study evaluating the clinical efficacy, including nutritional status, immune function and safety of Omegaven (ω-3 fish oil) supplemented parenteral nutrition in subjects of SICU.
  2. Study patients are the critical ill patients in SICU of NTUH and the enrolled patients will be 30 subjects ,including 15 in each treatment group.
  3. During parenteral nutrition, fat emulsions will be given separately from amino acid and glucose solutions. Infusion pump must be used.The recommended infusion duration of the daily lipid emulsion is 16 hours (0.0625 g fat/kg B.W./hour) from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm.
  4. During the study the assessments of safety and efficacy are to be performed according to case report form. The assessment for safety variables including blood pressure、heat rate 、body temperature、liver function、renal function、coagulation、WBC、lipid profile etc. In addition,the assessments for efficacy variables including lymphocytes、cytokines(IL-1、IL-2、IL-6、IL-8、IL-11、IL-18、OX40 ligand、G-CSF、FN-γ、TGF-β1、TNF-α etc)、incidence of infections、 length of ICU and hospital stay、mortality etc.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Omegaven 10% in people with Critical Ill Patients in SICU, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2005. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hong-Shiee Lai, MD, PhD (886-2-23123456 ext. 5112, hslai@ha.mc.ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lymphocytes:T4,T8,B,T,NK. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00172198, 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 15 Sep 2005.
