Trial summary

Patients with peritoneal disease commonly present with symptoms of abdominal distension and subacute intestinal obstruction. This results in poor oral intake leading to these patients often presenting in a malnourished state. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Perioperative Immunonutrition for Patients Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

Patients with peritoneal disease commonly present with symptoms of abdominal distension and subacute intestinal obstruction. This results in poor oral intake leading to these patients often presenting in a malnourished state.

CRS and HIPEC can potential provide improve survival for these patients, however can be a hazardous procedure, involving multi-organ resections. The risk is especially high in poorly nourished patients.

The study investigators hypothesize that perioperative immunonutrition can reduce wound infections and length of hospital stay, and improve perioperative outcomes. To the investigators' knowledge, it has not been evaluated in patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC.

Being tested
IMPACT immunotherapy, ENSURE

What participants receive

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

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Oral IMPACTExperimentalPerioperative immunonutrition will commence 5-7 days prior to surgery, and will continue for 5-7 days post-surgery, as soon as the patient is able to consume full feeds as instructed by his/her primary physician. The recommended dose for IMPACT immunotherapy is one packet, to be taken three times a day.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: IMPACT immunotherapy
Standard Nutrition (ENSURE)Active comparatorStandard nutritional supplementation will commence 5-7 days prior to surgery, and will continue for 5-7 days post-surgery, as soon as the patient is able to consume full feeds as instructed by his/her primary physician.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: ENSURE

What is being measured

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

  1. Baseline wound infection rates

    Measured: From date of surgery to date that wound is healed, up to 30 days from surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Peri-operative complications

    Measured: Within 30 days from surgery

  2. Length of stay

    Measured: 100 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IMPACT immunotherapy and ENSURE in people with Peritoneal Metastases, run by National Cancer Centre, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 20 Sep 2019. 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 Singapore. 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?

Baseline wound infection rates (time frame: From date of surgery to date that wound is healed, up to 30 days from surgery). 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 20 Sep 2019.
