About this study

Official title: Prophylactic Early Parenteral Nutrition in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: A Multi-centre Randomised Controlled Trial.

Supplemental prophylactic early parenteral nutrition will be commenced 1 day prior to conditioning chemoradiotherapy in patients who are not already malnourished. Supplemental parenteral nutrition continues throughout conditioning chemoradiotherapy and stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

A standard parenteral nutrition solution will be used. The parenteral nutrition solution will be given once daily, and infused intravenously. The standard parenteral nutrition solution will contain approximately 40 grams of amino acids/L, 40 g lipids/L and 100g dextrose/L). Nutritional targets will be measured using indirect Calorimetry where available, or calculated via the Harris Benedict or Schofield equations. The dose of parenteral nutrition administered will be determined by the treating dietitian, treating physician or treating research team. The parenteral nutrition dose given will be individualised considering the patients clinical condition and body weight. The dose of supplemental parenteral nutrition will be dependent on the total calories also received from oral and/or enteral nutrition intake.

Supplemental parenteral nutrition will be discontinued when a patient is well enough to be discharged from hospital or when the patients attending clinician determines a central line is no longer needed for standard care. There is no maximum duration of supplemental parenteral nutrition..

Adherence to the study intervention will be monitored via medical chart reviews during site monitoring visits, and data queries on individual patient case report form documentation.

What participants receive

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

  • Parenteral nutrition.Dietary supplement

    Nutrition support will be provides as per usual, but oral and enteral intake will be topped up with a standard parenteral nutrition solution. The standard parenteral nutrition solution will contain approximately 40 grams of amino acids/L, 40 g lipids/L and 100g dextrose/L).

  • Pragmatic standard care.Other

    Nutrition support will be provided as per usual care.

Study groups in NCT03083327
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Standard CareActive comparatorThe control group in this study is pragmatic standard nutrition care. Currently after a bone marrow transplant in Australia, patients are normally fed orally for as long as possible. If oral intake fails to provide sufficient calories for a period of two to three days, enteral or parenteral nutrition may be provided.
Receives: Other: Pragmatic standard care.

The dose of supplemental parenteral nutrition will be dependent on the total calories also received from oral and/or enteral nutrition intake.

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Gordon S Doig, PhD (+61294632600, gdoig@med.usyd.edu.au), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease free survival time (time frame: Recruitment will run for 3 years, with a median follow-up time of 2 years.). 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?
