About this study

Official title: Olive Oil and Soybean 1 Oil Based Intravenous Lipid Emulsions, Liver Biochemistry and Clinical Outcomes

Background: Intravenous lipid emulsions (IVLE) are an essential component of parenteral nutrition (PN). Omega-6 reducing strategies may improve outcomes, including reduced PN associated liver disease.

Objective: The primary objective was to compare serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), among surgical and medical patients provided with either Intralipid or Clinoleic lipid emulsions.

Design: In this quasi-experimental study the medical records of surgical and medical adult patients were reviewed from 3 Canadian hospitals that received PN with either soybean oil (Intralipid) or predominantly olive oil (Clinoleic) based lipid emulsions for at least 7 consecutive days.

Read the detailed description

A few small studies have shown that a predominantly olive oil based IVLE is well tolerated and safe, however the clinical relevance of this IVLE is uncertain as no clear benefit in outcomes has been observed in small randomized clinical trials. Given the limited data available for the adult population reporting on the experience with olive oil based IVLE, we designed a quasi-experimental study to review our experience with Clinoleic compared to Intralipid. The primary objective was to compare the impact of Intralipid and Clinoleic IVLE on serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), pre-PN to after one week of PN (i.e. between day 8 to 16 post-PN initiation), while controlling for the ordered lipid dosing. Secondary objectives were to assess if there were differences between the IVLEs on the remaining liver function tests, lipid dosing, incidence of infectious complications, length of stay in hospital and 30- day mortality.

This retrospective quasi-experimental chart review was conducted in 3 tertiary care hospitals in Calgary, AB between July 01, 2012 to June 30, 2013 and July 01, 2014 to June 30, 2015. Standard soybean oil-based therapy, Intralipid was the only available IVLE in Calgary, AB until July 2013, at which time predominantly olive oil Clinoleic was approved as an alternative in the hospital formulary, accounting for the dates chosen for the study. Ethics approval from the Conjoint Health Research and Ethics Board at the University of Calgary was obtained prior to the initiation of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parenteral Nutrition Associated Liver Disease, run by University of Calgary.

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 1 inclusion and 6 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 22 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Serum ALP Level (time frame: 8 to 16 days after PN initiation). 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 22 Feb 2018.
