Trial summary

Aim is to investigate the influence of an early supply of parenteral nutrition including a fish oil containing lipid emulsion on the course of acute lung injury in the intensive care unit. In comparison, a standard parenteral nutrition with a soybean oil based emulsion will be used. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Mono-center, Explorative Phase IV Trial on the Efficacy and Safety of a Fish Oil Containing Lipid Emulsion Versus a Standard Soybean-oil Based Lipid Emulsion in Patients With Acute Lung Injury

Aim is to investigate the influence of an early supply of parenteral nutrition including a fish oil containing lipid emulsion on the course of acute lung injury in the intensive care unit. In comparison, a standard parenteral nutrition with a soybean oil based emulsion will be used. Data obtained in this trial may provide evidence for a beneficial effect of fish oil derived omega-3 fatty acids in parenteral nutrition regarding their influence on acute lung injury.

Being tested
Lipoplus 20%, Lipofundin N 20%

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lipoplus 20% and Lipofundin N 20% in people with Parenteral Nutrition, run by B. Braun Melsungen AG at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2016. 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 Germany. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in blood oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2ratio) (time frame: change day 1 to day 6). 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 Jul 2016.
