About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Trial of Omega-3 Fatty Acid-supplemented Parenteral Nutrition Versus Standard Parenteral Nutrition in Patients Undergoing Major Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgery

The aim of this study is to assess the effect of postoperative parenteral fish oil on clinical outcome and immune function after major laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

Read the detailed description

Postoperative patients are randomized by a sealed envelope to receive either a 50:50 (vol/vol) mixture of an oil rich in medium-chain fatty acids and soybean oil (termed MCT/LCT) or a mixture of MCT/LCT and fish oil Omegaven for 7 days. Full blood count, biochemistry and coagulation are routinely assessed. Fresh blood samples are centrifuged into plasma, red blood cells and lymphocytes then stored at -80°C pending analysis.

The primary endpoint was numbers of infective complications.Secondary endpoints were other clinical outcomes, length of hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality, along with plasma immunological markers.

Being tested
MCT/LCT and fish oil, MCT/LCT
Medical subject headings
Stomach Neoplasms, Pancreatic Neoplasms, Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

    Measured: within the first 30 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. length of hospital stay

    Measured: average of 2 weeks

  2. plasma immunological markers

    Measured: from 1 day before surgery to 7 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing MCT/LCT and fish oil and MCT/LCT in people with Gastric Tumor and Pancreatic Tumor, run by Wei Zhou 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 1 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 28 Mar 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 Wei Zhou, MD, PhD (+86-13588706479, nuzwlvran@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

infective complications (time frame: within the first 30 days after surgery). 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 28 Mar 2013.
