About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Introducing an Industrially Prepared Ready-to-use 3-Chamber Bag as Parenteral Nutrition Formulation for Premature Infants in Our NICU

This study was designed to evaluate whether industrially prepared standardizing total parenteral nutrition is at least non-inferior to compounded TPN and provides nutritional intakes according to the new guidelines and provides the expected weight gain in preterm babies with a birth weight between 1250 and 2000g admitted in our NICU between 2015 \& 2018

Read the detailed description

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is mandatory in the nursing of very low birth weight ((V)LBW)) babies during the first weeks of life. Numerous discussions exist about the indication of individually tailored or standardized PN formula. (V)LBW babies are known as fragile unstable babies with special requirements. Many neonatal intensive care units (NICU) prefer a tailored prescription for that kind of patients. Making a daily individual tailored prescription is often complex for numerous reasons: it is time consuming, it may be source of faults and incompatibility, it needs a senior neonatologist to review the prescription and has to arrive during daytime hours at the pharmacy. Tailored PN is often administrated with a delay, as one can only prescribe having reviewed the results of blood sampling. This delay can range from 6 to 12 hours. Numeta G13°/0E is a standardized, industrial, ready to use PN specifically designed to meet the nutritional requirements of preterm newborn infants for whom enteral nutrition is not possible or insufficient. New Espghan guidelines were published in 2018 recommending nutritional intake targets of 2.5g-3.5 amino acids per kg/day and 90-120 kcal/kg/day. Our NICU wants to evaluate their compliance to these new guidelines. Before November 2016, it was common practice in CHU Tivoli to feed the preterm baby with a compounded binary TPN solution and lipids were administered separately in Y-line. In November 2016, we switched to an all-in-one TPN with standardized composition (Numeta G13%E, Baxter) Numeta G13°/0E is stored at room temperature and is ready to be infused in a few minutes. Numeta G13%E is presented in the form of a three-chamber bag (3CB) or a two chamber bag (2CB). The activation of the lipid bag is optional, resulting in a solution containing glucose, electrolytes, amino acids and (optionally) lipids. Additions of water, electrolytes in the bag or on the side help to customize the bag to the specific needs of newborns that need intensive care.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Weight Gain and Intravenous Nutrition Adverse Reaction, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Tivoli at 1 site in Belgium.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 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 Belgium. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

weight gain in grams (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 19 Nov 2019.
