About this study

Official title: The Effect of Oral Supplementation and Improved Nutritional Status on Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients

This clinical trial studies the use of early oral supplementation in improving nutritional status in participants undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Impaired nutritional status in participants undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant has been linked to decreased outcomes such as increased length of hospital stay and increased time to engraftment (an important milestone in transplant recovery). Early oral supplementation may increase nutritional status and help to promote a positive outcome in participants undergoing transplant.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine if early oral supplementation improves nutritional status, decreases length of hospital stay, and shortens time to engraftment of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) participants.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Serum albumin, serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D, and the degree of mucositis, as scored by the National Cancer Institute's Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC), a validated and widely accepted scale used for rating mucositis. The purpose of our secondary aims is to observe a potential correlation between the retrospective and prospective groups, as well as assess the need for future research based on these correlations.

OUTLINE:

Participants receive Boost Plus orally (PO) twice daily (BID) or Pro-Stat 101 PO BID beginning one week before scheduled HSCT and continuing until hospital discharge. If participants do not tolerate the Boost Plus or Pro-Stat, they receive a milkshake PO once daily (QD) as an alternative.

What participants receive

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

  • Boost PlusDietary supplement

    Also called Supplementation

    Receive nutritional supplementation twice daily to provide 28g of protein

  • Pro-Stat 101Dietary supplement

    Also called Supplementation

    Receive nutritional supplementation twice daily to provide 30g of protein

  • MilkshakeDietary supplement

    Also called Supplementation

    Receive alternate nutritional supplementation once daily to provide 28g protein

  • daily food diariesOther

    Also called food diary, food intake form

    Participants will be given a food intake form, clipboard, and pen to record specific foods, as well as amounts of foods that are consumed from outside sources. In addition, the specific food items that each participant consumes will be recorded by the participant on his or her meal tickets which are included with each meal tray

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in nutritional status determined by the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA)

    To test the improvement of nutritional status over a period of time, a linear mixed model will be fit and the PG-SGA trend will be tested.

    Measured: Baseline to time of hospital discharge, up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Length of hospital stay, defined by time of admission through discharge

    Longitudinal analysis of these ancillary variables will be performed to see the benefit of oral supplementation in the HSCT patients.

    Measured: Up to time of hospital discharge, up to 1 year

  2. Change in serum albumin

    Longitudinal analysis of these ancillary variables will be performed to see the benefit of oral supplementation in the HSCT patients.

    Measured: Baseline, up to time of hospital discharge, up to 1 year

  3. Change in serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D

    Longitudinal analysis of these ancillary variables will be performed to see the benefit of oral supplementation in the HSCT patients.

    Measured: Baseline, up to time of hospital discharge, up to 1 year

  4. Degree of mucositis

    Longitudinal analysis of these ancillary variables will be performed to see the benefit of oral supplementation in the HSCT patients.

    Measured: Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, up to time of hospital discharge, up to 52 weeks

  5. Time to engraftment, defined by the first of three consecutive days that the absolute neutrophil count is greater than 500

    Longitudinal analysis of these ancillary variables will be performed to see the benefit of oral supplementation in the HSCT patients.

    Measured: Up to time of hospital discharge, up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Boost Plus, Pro-Stat 101 and Milkshake in people with Malignant Neoplasm, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2018. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow Accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change in nutritional status determined by the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) (time frame: Baseline to time of hospital discharge, up to 1 year). 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 15 May 2018.
