Trial summary

The aim of our work is to study the effect of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) cycling in preterm infants on hypercalcuria (excessive calcium excretion in urine). TPN cycling refers to administering the TPN over a portion of the day rather than the whole day. Read more about this study

About this study

The aim of our work is to study the effect of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) cycling in preterm infants on hypercalcuria (excessive calcium excretion in urine). TPN cycling refers to administering the TPN over a portion of the day rather than the whole day. Our hypothesis is that cyclic TPN includes more hypercalcuria in preterm infants as compared to continuous TPN.

Objectives:

Measure Urinary Calcium(Ca) during the periods of continuous and cyclic TPN.

Compare the amount of Ca losses in the urine continuous vs. cyclic TPN

Read the detailed description

Randomized cross over design, in which babies will receive TPN either continuously or on a cyclic basis for 3 days. The patients will then be crossed over to receive the other way of administration over the following 3 days, thus each patient will serve as his or her own control. Continuous TPN will be administered over 24 hours for 3 days, while the cyclic TPN will be given for 18 hours then followed by a Dextrose only solution at the same concentration and rate as the TPN for 6 hours. Trophic feeds up to 20 ml/kg/day will be allowed throughout the study period at the discretion of the attending neonatologist.

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 stopped early (reason given: failure to recruit more patients and lack of supporting personnel.). Results are not available in the source record.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00711763, which also lists 15 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.
