About this study

Official title: Comparative Study About the Impact of Two Oil Emulsions, One of Them Formulated With MCT, LCT, Olive Oil and Omega 3 Fatty Acids Versus Another One Formulated With MCT and LCT, Administered Intravenously on Severe Acute Pancreatitis Clinical Evolution

The purpose of this study is to comparatively assess the potential antiinflammatory effects of intravenous lipid emulsions rich in omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and olive oil versus intravenous lipid emulsions made exclusively with MCT and LCT on the evolution of patients with severe acute pancreatitis during the period in needing artificial nutrition support with total parenteral nutrition so unique.

What is being measured

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

  1. Inflammatory markers

    LTB4, TXB2, PG2, IL-6, alfa-TNF, C-reactive protein (CRP) Day 1 (before treatment), 5 and 10

    Measured: Day 10

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evolution of the degree of severity of acute severe pancreatitis

    At hospital admission: age, BMI, organ failure. Evolution of the degree of severity of acute severe pancreatitis: severity risk factors at the hospital admission (age, BMI, organ failure), pronostic signs of severity during the first 72 hours after admission : APACHE-II, Ranson criteria, serum hematocrit, CT-scan with Balthazar index, CRP.

    Day 10: CT-scan with Balthazar index, CRP.

    Measured: During the first 72 hours after admission

  2. Complications of acute severe pancreatitis

    From day 1 to day 10. Complications of acute severe pancreatitis: local complications (necrosis, pseudocyst, abscess, surgery, ERCP), systemic complications (SIRS, sepsis, organ failure, other ones, mortality).

    Measured: Day 10.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fat emulsion with MCT, LCT, olive oil and omega 3 fatty acids and Fat emulsion with MCT and LCT in people with Severe Acute Pancreatitis, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau at 1 site in Spain.

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 6 inclusion and 12 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 20 Jun 2011. 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 Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jordi Virgili Arumí (00-34-932919050 ext. 9303, jvirgili@santpau.cat), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Inflammatory markers (time frame: Day 10). 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 20 Jun 2011.
