Trial summary

Pre- and intra-operative nutritional support in patient undergoing major surgery results in decreased morbidity and mortality. Studies investigating the role of omega-3 fatty acids in these patients are increasing. Some are focused on perfusion at the cellular level. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Do Omega-3 Fatty Acids Have Any Impact On Serum Lactate Levels After Major Gastric Cancer Surgery?

Pre- and intra-operative nutritional support in patient undergoing major surgery results in decreased morbidity and mortality. Studies investigating the role of omega-3 fatty acids in these patients are increasing. Some are focused on perfusion at the cellular level. This study was undertaken to address the effect of postoperative administration of omega-3 fatty acids on cellular hypoperfusion associated with major gastric surgery.

Conditions

Being tested
Lipovenoes® 10% and Omegaven®,
Keywords
omega-3 fatty acids, lactate, surgery, gastric cancer, address the effect of postoperative administration of omega-3 fatty acids on cellular hypoperfusion associated with major gastric surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lipovenoes® 10% and Omegaven®,Drug

    All patients received TPN for 5 days postoperatively, according to a standard protocol: 3 g/kg BW glucose (5% Dextrose in Ringer's Lactate, Biosel, Istanbul), 1.2 g/kg BW amino acids (Aminosteril 10%, Fresenius-Kabi) and 0.8 g/kg BW omega-6 fatty acids (Lipovenoes® 10%, Fresenius-Kabi) were provided to both groups through an indwelling central venous catheter. In the omega-3 group, the lipid content of TPN was replaced partially by omega-3 fatty acids (Omegaven®, Fresenius-Kabi) up to 0.2 g/kg BW per day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lipovenoes® 10% and Omegaven®, in people with Gastric Surgery, run by Ege University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 25 Nov 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00929461, 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 25 Nov 2009.
