Trial summary

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial. 180 patients with critical illness will be included and randomly divided into two groups. In the control group, patients will be fed with basic energy; and in the experiment group, the patients will be given extra protein intake except the basic energy intake. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Clinical Study With WeiYuan Tai (a Nutritional Supplement) on Nutritional Support of Enhanced Protein in Severe Patients(Tai Shan)

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial. 180 patients with critical illness will be included and randomly divided into two groups. In the control group, patients will be fed with basic energy; and in the experiment group, the patients will be given extra protein intake except the basic energy intake. The intervention duration will last 6 days. The primary outcomes of this study are urea nitrogen of 24h and prealbumin(PA). And other outcomes include nutritional status, safety indicators and clinical indicators.

Read the detailed description

Critical illness patients are commonly in the risk of malnutrition, because of various factors. And nutritional supplement, particularly the supplement of protein, can decrease the nitrogen balance, improve the nutritional status, accelerate the speed of healing and decrease the mortality rate. This is a multi center prospective randomized controlled trial. 180 patients with critical illness will be included and randomly divided into two groups. In the control group, patients will be fed with basic energy; and in the experiment group, the patients will be given extra protein intake except the basic energy intake. The intervention duration will last 6 days. The primary outcomes of this study are urea nitrogen of 24h and prealbumin(PA). And other outcomes include nutritional status(total protein, albumin, grip and calf circumference), safety indicators(liver function, kidney function, tolerance, etc.) and clinical indicators(overall complication rate, length of hospital stay and cost).

What is being measured

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

  1. urea nitrogen of 24h

    the total amount of urea nitrogen in 24 hours

    Measured: day6

  2. prealbumin(PA)

    the level of prealbumin in blood

    Measured: day6

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. total protein

    the total protein level in blood

    Measured: day6

  2. albumin

    the level of albumin in blood

    Measured: day6

  3. calf circumference

    the perimeter of calf

    Measured: change from baseline calf circumference at 6 days

  4. grip

    the strength(force measured kilograms) of the right hand measured by a hand-held dynamometer (if the right hand is not impossible, the left is ok )

    Measured: change from baseline grip at 6 days

  5. overall complication rate

    the over complication rate after receiving enteral nutrition

    Measured: from the day receiving enteral nutrition to day6

  6. length of hospital stay

    the overall time stay in hospital

    Measured: from date of admission in the hospital until the date of discharge, up to 1 year

  7. cost in hospital

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing a production consist of various oligopeptides and the whey protein, basic energy intake and maltodextrin in people with Critical Illness, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

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 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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

Contact Wei Chen (+86(010)69154095, chenw@pumch.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

urea nitrogen of 24h (time frame: day6). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04177446, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Dec 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
