About this study

Official title: Peri-operative Usage of Enteric Immune-nutrition Formula (ANOM®) Versus Standard Formula for Patients Received Major Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery

Perioperative usage of immunonutrition (ANOM®) can attenuate the pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduce postoperative infectious complications and length of hospital stay after major upper gastrointestinal surgery.

(ANOM®)immunonutrition product name

Read the detailed description

Background: Perioperative usage of immunonutrition can attenuate the pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduce postoperative infectious complications and length of hospital stay after major upper gastrointestinal surgery. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of immunomodulating diets, ANOM®, on surgical outcome in elective major upper gastrointestinal tract operations.

Material and Methods:

Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Participants: Seventy upper gastrointestinal tract cancer patients planned to undergo major upper gastrointestinal surgery in eesophagus、stomach、pancreas or duodenum, Interventions: Patients will be divided randomly into two groups to receive ANOM® or standard diet. Before surgery, 800ml ANOM® or standard diet (SEN) will be given for 5 days by mouth. After operation, 5% Distill water (D5W) combined with ANOM® or standard diet since the 2nd post-operation day (POD2) until day 14 (POD14) or until discharged day by enteric route using nasogastric tube(NG) tube or jejunostomy. Postoperative parenteral nutrition will be given to maintain adequate nutrition.

Clinical Assessment: The preoperative and postoperative immunological parameters, infection complications, and hospital stay will be compared.

What participants receive

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

  • ANOMDietary supplement

    the ANOM was given 800ml per day before operation, and added from POD2 to POD 14 gradually from 400ml to 1200ml

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. postoperative infectious complication

    we want to evaluate the effect of ANOM on postoperative infectious complication after early feeding with ANOM

    Measured: POD 14 or discharged day

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. immunological parameters

    we want to compare the immunological parameters, IL-6, with stand diet group

    Measured: POD 14 or discharged day

  2. Free radicles -TBARS

    we will esitimate the difference blood level of free radicles by ELISA and compared with that in the standard diet group

    Measured: POD 14 or discharged day

  3. immunological parameters

    we will compare the immunological parameters, IL-8, with the stand diet group.

    Measured: POD14 or discharged day

  4. immunological parameter

    We will compare the immunological parameter, IL-1, with the standard diet group

    Measured: POD14 or discharged day

  5. immunological parameter

    We will compare the immunological parameter, IL-10, with the standard diet group

    Measured: POD14 or discharged day

  6. immunological parameters

    We will compare the immunological parameter, TNF-a, with the standard diet group

    Measured: POD14 or discharged day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ANOM in people with Chronic Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage, run by National Cheng-Kung University Hospital at 2 sites 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 11 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Yan-Shen Shan, MD,PhD (88662353535 ext. 5181, ysshan@mail.ncku.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postoperative infectious complication (time frame: POD 14 or discharged day). 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 11 May 2011.
