About this study

Official title: Prospective Study of Preoperative Nutritional Support in Malnutritional Pancreatobiliary Cancer Patients

Malnutrition patients are known to have more postoperative complications and mortality. And most of hepatobiliary-pancreatic cancer surgeries accompany high postoperative morbidity and mortality rate. Therefore for the malnourished patients anticipating major surgery, preoperative nutritional support is recommended according to the ASPEN (American society of parenteral and enteral nutrition) and ESPEN (European society of parenteral and enteral nutrition) guideline. However there is no prospective trial to prove the clinical impact of preoperative nutritional support for malnourished patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact of preoperative nutritional support for malnourished cancer patients anticipating HBP surgery. Primary objective is to compare the complication rate and secondary object is to compare the quality of life, hospital stay and cost.

Read the detailed description

This is single arm study with historical comparison. The historical control group did not receiving nutritional support. In previous results show that about 25% complication rates. Complication rates are expected in the group receiving nutritional support is less than 10 % ( previous studies (NCCNCS-11-460)).

For support group, preoperative nutritional support is given for 5 or more days preoperatively by nutritional support program. Nutritional support program is briefly described below.

Interval: 5-10 days Contents: admission is required

  • Calories: 30-35Kg, via enteral or parenteral
  • Protein: 1.2-1.5g/Kg
  • Lipid : 1-1.5g/Kg
  • Mineral and vitamins supply
  • Blood glucose control
  • Daily monitoring by dietician and specialized nurse

What is being measured

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

  1. postoperative complication

    expected the duration of hospital stay of postoperation is 4~6 weeks.

    Measured: at discharge. (expected the duration of hospital stay of postoperation is 4~6 weeks.)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. postoperative hospital stay

    expected the duration of hospital stay of postoperation is 4~6 weeks.

    Measured: expected the duration of hospital stay of postoperation is 4~6 weeks.

  2. quality of life

    preoperative, postoperative 14days

    Measured: preoperative, postoperative 14days

  3. postoperative cost( + nutritional support cost)

    expected the duration of hospital stay of postoperation is 4~6 weeks.

    Measured: at discharge. (expected the duration of hospital stay of postoperation is 4~6 weeks.)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nutritional support program in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Biliary Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 14 inclusion and 15 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 11 Jun 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 South Korea. 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?

postoperative complication (time frame: at discharge. (expected the duration of hospital stay of postoperation is 4~6 weeks.)). 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 11 Jun 2018.
