About this study

Official title: Immuno-enhanced Versus Standard Early Enteral Nutrition Use in Gastrointestinal Postoperative Patients

Patients with gastrointestinal(GI) malignancy usually suffer from malnutrition and suppressed immune function, which might be worsened by major elective surgery.Enteral nutrition has been emphasized for patients with GI malignancy during the perioperative period to accelerate bowel function recovery, and improve nitrogen balance and immune response while reducing postoperative complications and hospitalization time.Early enteral nutrition(EEN) can promote the postoperative recovery of GI function and has been considered to have other advantages such as the reduction of medical cost and maintenance of intestinal barrier function. Immunonutrition containing special compounds like omega-3-unsaturated fatty acids has been put forward to modulate the immune response and improve the immune function in patients with cancer, which may have an better effect on the immune system than standard enteral nutrition. However, studies on immuno-enhanced early enteral nutrition after a resectable GI malignancy surgery are scarce.

The aim of this study was to determine whether immuno-enhanced early enteral nutrition(IEEN) is more effective than standard early enteral nutrition(SEEN) on nutritional status, immune function, surgical outcomes,time to adjuvant chemotherapy and days of hospitalization after laparoscopic GI surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Immuno-enhancedDrug

    Immediately drip 37°C saline 20 ml/h and exchange to drip 37°C enteral nutrition fluid concerning omega-3-unsaturated fatty acids 20 ml/h at postoperative 6 h via jejunostomy tube or nasogastric tube

  • Standard early enteral nutritionDrug

    Immediately drip 37°C saline 20 ml/h and exchange to drip 37°C standard enteral nutrition fluid 20 ml/h at postoperative 6 h via jejunostomy tube or nasogastric tube

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Immuno-enhanced and Standard early enteral nutrition in people with Gastrointestinal Malignant, run by Jinling Hospital, China at 1 site in China.

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 5 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 31 Jan 2013. 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 China. 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 Danhua Yao, MD/PhD (8602580860961, yaodh87@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to tolerate IEEN/SEEN (time frame: 30 days after operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01778166, which also lists 3 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.

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 31 Jan 2013.
