Trial summary

This study is being done to determine if an investigational study drug called Omegaven can help to improve liver disease thought to be caused by Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). TPN is intravenous feeding (IV feeding tube) that provides patients the nutrients when they are unable to drink fluid or eat food by mouth. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 2 months to 10 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must be 2 months -10 years of age
  • Patients who are PN dependent (unable to meet nutritional needs solely by enteral nutrition) and are expected to require PN for at least another 30 days
  • Patients considered eligible for study participation must have parenteral nutrition associated liver disease (PNALD) as defined by a direct bilirubin of >2.0mg/dL. Other causes of liver disease should be excluded. A liver biopsy is not necessary for treatment
  • 2 consecutive direct bilirubin test results >2.0mg/dl
  • The patient must have failed standard therapies to prevent the progression of liver disease such as surgical treatment, cyclic TPN, avoiding overfeeding, reduction/removal of copper and manganese from TPN, advancement of enteral feeding, and use of ursodiol (Actigall)
  • Subjects who are currently under treatment for PNALD with Compassionate Use Omegaven and have a direct Bilirubin of< 2, but who remain TPN dependent and require continued therapy with Omegaven

Who cannot join

  • Other known causes of chronic liver disease (hepatitis C, cystic fibrosis, biliary atresia and alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency)
  • Enrollment in any other clinical trial involving an investigational agent (unless approved by the designated physicians on the multidisciplinary team)
  • The parent, guardian, or child is unwilling to provide consent or assent
  • Allergy to any fish product, egg protein, and/or previous allergy to Omegaven
  • Active coagulopathies characterized by on-going bleeding or by a requirement for clotting factor replacement such as fresh frozen plasma or cryoprecipitate to maintain homeostasis
  • Impaired lipid metabolism or severe hyperlipidemia with or without pancreatitis
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Unstable diabetes mellitus
  • Stroke/embolism
  • Collapse and shock
  • Undefined coma status
  • Active infection at time of initiation of Omegaven® up until such time as child is afebrile with stable vital signs and one negative 48 hour culture

About this study

This study is being done to determine if an investigational study drug called Omegaven can help to improve liver disease thought to be caused by Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). TPN is intravenous feeding (IV feeding tube) that provides patients the nutrients when they are unable to drink fluid or eat food by mouth.

Read the detailed description

PAtients with direct bilirubin >2gm/dL and short bowel syndrome are eligible for enrollment. Omegaven at 1gm/kg/day will be administered via central venous line instead of standard lipid preparations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bilirubin in mg/dL

    PN associated liver disease can be reversed or its progression halted by using a parenteral fat emulsion prepared from fish oil as measured by normalization of serum levels of hepatic enzymes and bilirubin

    1. after reaching bilirubin levels >2mg/dl, subjects receiving Omegaven will reach a bilirubin level < 2mg/dL faster that patients receiving conventional fat emulsions.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with adverse events

    1. After starting Omegaven on PN, the rate of fatty acid deficiencies and imbalances will be as low as before Omegaven. Also, the rate of triglyceride events >400mg/dL with Omegaven will be similar to that seen with PN administration with soy oil Intralipid.
    2. PN containing Omegaven will be safe for patients with respect to the risk of unexpected bleeding, coagulopathies, and other adverse events.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Omegaven in people with Liver Disease and Impaired Liver Function, run by Children's Medical Center Dallas at 1 site in United States.

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 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2019. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Bilirubin in mg/dL (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 6 Feb 2019.
