The primary objectives:

  1. Safety of immunonutrition
  2. The effect of immunonutrition on parameters of oxidative stress
  3. The effect of immunonutrition on the inflammatory parameters
  4. The effect of immunonutrition on nutrition status

Hypothesis

The high oxidative stress is present in patients with cystic fibrosis. Immunonutrition has been shown to positively modulate oxidative stress in the different clinical setting however it has not yet been evaluated inpatients with cystic fibrosis who frequently need some support by means of enteral nutrition. We anticipate that the substitution of routine enteral nutrition by immunonutrition will result in improving of oxidative stress parameters.

Read the detailed description

Method Crossover open study will take 16 weeks. The patients eligible for the study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria are going to be divided into 2 groups after signing the informed consent. In both groups their nutrition status, humoral and cellular immunity, respiratory system function and parameters of oxidative stress will be evaluated before entering the intervention.

Afterwards the patients are going to be divided into one group who will receive nutrition support using immunonutrition for the next 8 weeks while the second one will continue with their nutrition support using routine sipping support with no immunonutrition. According to our hypothesis oxidative stress parameters will improve in the group of patients on immunonutrition comparing to the other group. Afterwards the patients will change their nutrition support for another 8 weeks. The patients who took immunonutrition in the first half of study will switch back to routine sipping support and contrary the patients who were in the first part of study on routine sipping will take immunonutrition. After the end of this period of study we expect the return of oxidative stress parameters to the baseline values in the group of patients who took immunonutrition in the first half of study but who were returned to routine nutrition support and contrary the improvement of oxidative stress parameters in the patients who started to take immunonutrition in the second half of study.

The total energy support will be identical in both periods for each individual patient. After the first 8 weeks and after the completion of study the same examination are going to be evaluate as it was on the entrance to study.

What participants receive

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

  • Impact-NutridrinkDietary supplement

    Also called Impact is brand name of oral nutrition produced by Nestle-Switzerland. It improves immune system, Nutridrink is brand name of oral nutrition produced by company Nutricia (Denmark) with no effect on immune system.

    IMPACT (immunonutrition) will be given in the first 8 weeks. Afterwards the patients will be returned to their previous nutrition support |(Nutridrink) for another 8 weeks.

  • Nutridrink-ImpactDietary supplement

    Also called Impact- brand name for immunonutrition - company Nestle Switzerland, Nutridrink- nutrition of company Nutriticia (Denmark)- with no immune response

    In this group of patients - the study starts with period of 8 weeks with no change of previous nutrition support (Nutridrink). After 8 weeks the laboratory results will be examined ant the patients will switch to immunonutrition (Impact) for another 8 weeks. After the laboratory examination including oxidative stress parameters will be evaluated.

Impact-NutridrinkActive comparatorThe first arm will be given immunonutrition -Impact- for 8 weeks, afterwards the patients will return to their previous nutrition support for another 8 weeks. We expect the improvement of oxidative stress parameters after 8 weeks of immunonutriton and return to baseline values when immunonutrition is stopped
Receives: Dietary Supplement: Impact-Nutridrink
Nutridrink-ImpactActive comparatorThe second group will be given their previous nutrition support (Nutridrink) for 8 weeks, afterwards the patients will be switched to immunonutrition- Impact- for another 8 weeks. In this group of patients we do not expect any change of oxidative stress parameters after the first 8 weeks. The improvement is expected at the end of the second half of study.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: Nutridrink-Impact

What is being measured

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

  1. to evaluate the change of oxidative stress in patients with cystic fibrosis induced by immunonutrition

    Oxidative stress and parameters of antioxidant activity will be evaluated when the nutrition support is provided with classic sipping (Nutridrink-Nutricia) or by immunonutrition (Impact-Nestle)

    Measured: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. to evaluate the change of inflammatory parameters in patients with cystic fibrosis induced by the application of immunonutrition

    Measured: 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Impact-Nutridrink and Nutridrink-Impact in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Malnutrition, run by University Hospital, Motol at 1 site in Czechia.

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 2 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 29 Jan 2014. 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 Czechia. 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 Ondrej Hloch, MD (+420224434098, o.hloch@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

to evaluate the change of oxidative stress in patients with cystic fibrosis induced by immunonutrition (time frame: 16 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 29 Jan 2014.
