About this study

Official title: Effect of Different Enteral Nutrition Formulas on Glucose Homeostasis

Different enteral nutrition formulas are tested on their effect on glucose homeostasis in critically ill medical patients.

Read the detailed description

To assess whether enteral nutrition fomulas based either on fat or glucose influence glucose homeostasis differently in critically ill medical patients. All patients are admitted to a tertiary ICU and require mechanical ventilation.

Resting energy expenditure is assessed at baseline in the fasting state by indirect calorimetry. Total energy demand is calculated and patients are randomized to receive fat-based or glucose-based nutrition which is administered continously for 7 days. Indirect calorimetry is repeated on days 3 and 7 under continous nutrition. During the study period, various parameters of glucose homeostasis are assessed. Daily, there will be at least 3 measurements of blood glucose, more if the treating physician deems it necessary. Daily average glucose, daily glucose variability, overall area under the curve for glucose are calculated. Furthermore, energy intake by nutrition, medications (i.e. propofol), and glucose infusion, as well as substrate intake, and insulin demand per 24hrs are determined daily. Adverse effects such as episodes of hyper- or hypoglycemia, cholestasis, hypertriglyceridemia, diarrhea, vomiting, and the amount of gastric residual volume are noted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Diben, Fresenius Kabi and Fresubin original fibre, Fresenius Kabi in people with Hyperglycemia Stress, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 4 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 6 Jan 2017. 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 Austria. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

average daily glucose (time frame: up to 7 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 6 Jan 2017.
