About this study

Official title: RADICAL CYSTECTOMY, NUTRITION AND CONVALESCENCE: CAN GOAL-DIRECTED POSTOPERATIVE NUTRITIONAL THERAPY REDUCE THE CONVALESCENCE PERIOD FOR PATIENTS UNDERGOING RADICAL CYSTECTOMY (RC)?

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a goal directed nutritional intervention can reduce the convalescence period for patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC).

The aim is to examine the effect on quality of life of a standard nutritional strategy of resting the bowel till clear signs of bowel recovery and feeding orally after bowel recovery versus a goal-directed nutritional intervention combining oral intake and parenteral nutrition, in patients undergoing RC.

Read the detailed description

The study is a randomized controlled trial. Inclusion criteria: Bladder cancer, ability to give an informed consent. Exclusion criteria: Previous radiation therapy at the pelvic area, ureterocutaneostomy or robot-assisted surgery. The intervention aims to secure that 75% of the patient's total energy and protein needs are met during hospitalization.

Primary outcome: Quality of Life, using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and BLM30 questionnaire. Secondary outcomes: Body-weight, Hand Grip strength, biochemical measures, length of hospital stay, time to bowel recovery. The follow-up period is 12 weeks. Statistical analysis is performed in collaboration with a statistician.

What is being measured

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

  1. Health related quality of life (HRQoL) using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and BLM30 (one combined questionnaire)

    Change from baseline HRQoL at 6 and 12 weeks following surgery

    Measured: meassured pre-operatively + 6 and 12 weeks following surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Body weight

    Change from baseline weight at 6 and 12 weeks following the date of surgery

    Measured: preoperatively, 6 and 12 weeks postop

  2. hand grip strength

    Change from baseline hand grip strength at 6 days and 6 weeks following the date of surgery

    Measured: pre-operatively, 6 days and 6 weeks postop

  3. length of hospital stay

    Measured: 12 week follow-up

  4. Time to bowel recovery

    Measured: 12 week follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Parenteral nutrition. SMOFKABIVEN infusion in central vene. Fresenius Kabi in people with Urinary Bladder Neoplasms and Cystectomy, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 12 Sep 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 Denmark. 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?

Health related quality of life (HRQoL) using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and BLM30 (one combined questionnaire) (time frame: meassured pre-operatively + 6 and 12 weeks following 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 12 Sep 2014.
