About this study

Official title: Effect of Enteral Feeding's Macronutrient Composition on Inflammatory Mediators, Oxidative Stress and Outcomes in Intensive Care Unit Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure

This study aimed to investigate the effect of enteral feeding's macronutrient composition on inflammatory mediators, oxidative stress and outcomes in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients with acute respiratory failure. In this double-blind randomized control trial, 42 patients of both sexes and diagnosed with acute respiratory failure in ICU that receive enteral feeding, will be randomly assigned to three groups of 14 each. First Intervention group; high-protein low-carbohydrate diet with high olive oil, the second intervention group; high-protein low-carbohydrate diet with high sunflower oil and control; high-protein kitchen formula. Intravenous levels of uric acid, high sensitive C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) measured at days 0 and 10. As well as, organ failure, duration of ventilation, length of ICU stay and mortality rates will be evaluated.

Being tested
high-protein low-carbohydrate diet with high olive oil, high-protein low-carbohydrate diet with high sunflower oil

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
high olive oliExperimentalA high fat (45%) low carbohydrate (35%) enteral feeding will be administered to acute respiratory failure patients. The percentage of olive oil will be half of total fat.
Receives: Other: high-protein low-carbohydrate diet with high olive oil
high sunflower oilExperimentalA high fat (45%) low carbohydrate (35%) enteral feeding will be administered to acute respiratory failure patients. The total fat will be sunflower oil.
Receives: Other: high-protein low-carbohydrate diet with high sunflower oil
kitchen formulaNo interventionA high protein kitchen diet for tube feeding will be administered to acute respiratory failure patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. length of ventilation

    The number of days from the patient intubation to his/her extubation

    Measured: The number of days at least 3, to which days that patient extubated

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Levels of high sensitive C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) in patient's vein blood

    Measured: 10 days

  2. Levels of Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) in patient's vein blood

    Measured: 10 days

  3. Levels of uric acid in patient's vein blood

    Measured: 10 days

  4. Levels of Interleukin 6 (IL-6) in patient's vein blood

    Measured: 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing high-protein low-carbohydrate diet with high olive oil and high-protein low-carbohydrate diet with high sunflower oil in people with Acute Respiratory Failure, run by Zahra Vahdat Shariatpanahi at 1 site in Iran.

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 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 2016. 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 Iran. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

length of ventilation (time frame: The number of days at least 3, to which days that patient extubated). 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 22 Mar 2016.
