About this study

Background and Aims: Nutritional support is considered an integral part of the supportive care of bone marrow transplantation patients. Parenteral nutrition emulsions enriched with omega-3 fatty acids can modify the inflammatory response. The aim of this study is to compare plasma cytokines levels in children after bone marrow transplantation using a lipid formula enriched in n-3 FA and other classic soybean oil formula in parenteral nutrition.

Methods: A randomized double blinded controlled study including 14 children with BMT and requiring PN for at least 10 days was conducted using a lipid emulsion with fish oil, or soybean oil. Blood samples at baseline, at 10 days and at the end of the PN were taken to analyze plasma interleukins 1 beta, 2, 6, 8, 10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α).

What is being measured

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

  1. average cytokines plasma levels between groups of children with the two different lipid formulas.

    The primary outcome of the trial was average cytokines plasma levels between groups of children with the two different lipid formulas.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Formula with soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides and Soybean oil formula commonly used in the hospital in people with Bone Narrow Transplantation, run by Maimónides Biomedical Research Institute of Córdoba.

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 1 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 25 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

average cytokines plasma levels between groups of children with the two different lipid formulas. (time frame: 21 days). 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 25 Jul 2014.
