Official title: Systematic Nutritional Care in Patients Receiving First-line Chemotherapy for Metastatic Gynecologic Cancer in a Phase II Study

RATIONALE: Learning about the effect of nutritional supplements on quality of life in patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer may help doctors plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying nutritional supplements to see how well they work in improving quality of life during first-line chemotherapy in patients with metastatic gynecologic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Measure quality of life (QLQ-C30) at week 18 in patients with metastatic gynecological cancer receiving systematic nutritional supplements during first-line chemotherapy.

Secondary

  • Study the maintenance or improvement of intake and nutritional status.
  • Study the quality of life during chemotherapy.
  • Evaluate tolerance and compliance to treatment with nutritional supplements.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of and the tolerance to chemotherapy.
  • Measure the overall survival over 18 weeks.
  • Analyze the cost-effectiveness of different strategies of nutritional care.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients are monitored via standard follow-up assessments every 3 weeks.
  • Arm II: Patients receive nutritional supplements and are monitored via standard follow-up assessments every 3 weeks.
  • Arm III: Patients receive nutritional supplements and are monitored via standard follow-up assessments every 3 weeks with additional biweekly assessments completed at home by a service provider.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing therapeutic nutritional supplementation and standard follow-up care in people with Cervical Cancer and Endometrial Cancer, run by Centre Oscar Lambret at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 29 Jul 2009. 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 France. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quality of life (QLQ-C30). 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 29 Jul 2009.
