What participants receive

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

  • Kabiven®Drug

    Also called Kabiven® for intravenous use (investigational drug)

    Infusion should start at a low dose (i.e., 12.5 to 25 mL/kg, corresponding to 10.6 to 21.2 kcal/kg/day, 0.49 to 0.98 g lipids/kg/day, 0.41 to 0.83 g amino acids/kg/day and 1.2 to 2.4 g dextrose/kg/day) followed by stepwise increase to the individual target for PN calories.

    The daily dose of the study PN should be infused at a constant rate over 20 to 24 hours.

    Route of Administration: Infusion into a central vein. Duration of Treatment: Study treatment will last for a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 8 consecutive days. Study treatment will be stopped if oral and/or enteral intake covers 80% or more of caloric requirements. If the indication for PN continues after 8 study days, PN will continue per normal institution policy.

  • Compounded standard parenteral nutritionDrug

    Also called Compounded standard parenteral nutrition (control drug)

    Infusion should start at a low dose (i.e., 12.5 to 25 mL/kg, corresponding to 10.6 to 21.2 kcal/kg/day, 0.49 to 0.98 g lipids/kg/day, 0.41 to 0.83 g amino acids/kg/day and 1.2 to 2.4 g dextrose/kg/day) followed by stepwise increase to the individual target for PN calories.

    The daily dose of the study PN should be infused at a constant rate over 20 to 24 hours.

    Route of Administration: Infusion into a central vein. Duration of Treatment: Study treatment will last for a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 8 consecutive days. Study treatment will be stopped if oral and/or enteral intake covers 80% or more of caloric requirements. If the indication for PN continues after 8 study days, PN will continue per normal institution policy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Kabiven® and Compounded standard parenteral nutrition in people with Malnutrition, run by Fresenius Kabi at 2 sites in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 2019.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 2 sites in United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

All adverse events (AE) (time frame: After randomization until Day 9). The study lists 45 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 Sep 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
