Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial About the Effect of Liquid Compared to Solid Food on the Intake of Energy and Protein in Patients With Leukemia, Lymphoma or Other Malignant Hematologic Disease

The study investigates the effect of liquid food on the intake of energy and protein compared to solid food. One group will receive dietary counselling in fulfilling their need for energy and protein from liquid food and the other group from solid food.

Read the detailed description

The study investigates the effect of liquid food on the intake of energy and protein compared to solid food. One group will receive dietary counselling in fulfilling their need for energy and protein from liquid food and the other group from solid food.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intake of energy and protein

    assessed by dietary records from both groups

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Weightloss change in percent from baseline

    calculated by comparing baseline weight with the weight after 14 days

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Amount of infections

    infection, e.g. fever, diarrhoea will be assessed from the medical record

    Measured: 14 days

  3. Need for tube feeding and parenteral nutrition

    will be assessed from the medical record

    Measured: 14 days

  4. patient satisfaction as well as perception of own nutritional status

    will be assessed from a questionnaire filled out by the patient after completing the intervention

    Measured: 14 days

  5. patients compliance of following the nutritional guidelines in the liquid group

    calculating the amount of energy from liquid food compared to the total energy intake using the dietary records

    Measured: 14 days

  6. Dose of cytostatics

    will be assessed from the medical records

    Measured: 14 days

  7. unplanned hospital stay

    will be assessed from the medical record

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dietary counselling in people with Hematological Disease and Delayed Gastric Emptying, run by Jens Rikardt Andersen 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 4 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 26 Aug 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 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?

Intake of energy and protein (time frame: 14 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 26 Aug 2016.
