About this study
Official title: Efficacy, Safety and Quality of Life of a Long-term Home Parenteral Nutrition Regimen With Either LIPIDEM® or LIPOFUNDIN® MCT a Mono-center, Randomized, Double Blind Study
It is the purpose of this trial to provide evidence for safety and efficacy of long term home parenteral nutrition with either Lipofundin MCT or Lipoplus in patients with proven insufficient enteral resorption.
Read the detailed description
Long term parenteral nutrition is indicated in the home care setting of patients who are unable to completely cover their daily caloric requirements by oral/enteral nutrition due to e.g. pre existing malnutrition or compromised intestinal absorption.
An appropriate nutritional supplementation ensuring the provision of patients basic requirement of amino acids, glucose, lipids, micronutrients and electrolytes is therefore required to stop weight loss, increase quality of life and to reduce unfavorable consequences of malnutrition in those patients.
Major causes for malnutrition and compromised intestinal absorption are malignant processes. Tumor cachexia, weight loss due to insufficient nutrition of < 60 -80 % of the calculated substrate need for > 14 days, antineoplastic therapy and surgical intervention are consequences of the malignant disease and lead to catabolic processes.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Lipoplus and Lipofundin MCT in people with Malnutrition, run by B. Braun Melsungen AG at 1 site in Germany.
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 14 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 18 Jul 2014. 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 Germany. 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?
Proof of non-inferiority of a HPN regimen containing Lipidem compared to a Lipofundin MCT containing regimen as indicated by the BMI (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 NCT00530738, 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 18 Jul 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
