About this study

Official title: Evolution of the Energy Expenditure During Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Hematological Disease and Associated Factors

The treatment before bone marrow transplantantion is initiated by chemotherapy associated or not with radiotherapy, both of which cause various side effects on the patient as symptoms that impair food intake. The nutritional status of the patient is one of the factors related to the success of the transplant, so a complete nutritional assessment before transplantation is necessary in order to identify patients at nutritional risk, nutritional disorders and to perform appropriate and early intervention to promote recovery and / or health maintenance. Will be used for nutritional assessment: arm perimeter, arm muscle area; electrical bioimpedance, phase angle, and Indirect Calorimetry, a standard method of noninvasive nutritional assessment that expresses the nutritional demand and rate of utilization of energy substrates from oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production through the air inhaled and exhaled by the individual's lungs.

What participants receive

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

  • Indirect CalorimetryOther

    In the pre-transplant, before the conditioning regime, and also on the 10th and 17th post-transplant, the resting energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry.

Study groups in NCT04535570
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pre TransplantAll 20 patients will have the energy expenditure measured in the pre-transplantation in order to compare with post-transplant data.
Receives: Other: Indirect Calorimetry
Post TransplantAll 20 patients will have the energy expenditure measured in the post transplantation in order to compare with the pre-transplant data.
Receives: Other: Indirect Calorimetry

What is being measured

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

  1. Energy expenditure

    The energy expenditure will be analyzed by the volume of oxygen (VO2) consumed, the volume of carbon dioxide (VCO2) produced and the respiratory quotient (VO2 / VCO2). The values analyzed will be the results of the measures of energy expenditure (BMR) before and after the transplant, in calories (Kcal), to verify changes caused by chemotherapy and / or radiation therapy.

    Measured: Up to 3 weeks after protocol termination

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Nutritional status of patients

    We'll use ASG for this parameter. Patients will have nutritional status classified as malnourished, nourished or overweight, in the periods before and after transplantation to verify changes caused by chemotherapy and / or radiation therapy.

    Measured: Up to 3 weeks after protocol termination

  2. Caloric and protein adequacy

    The caloric and protein adequacy will be analyzed by the amount of calorie (kcal / kg / day) and protein (g / kg / day) intake, compared to calorie and protein required before and after transplantation, to verify changes caused by chemotherapy and / or radiation therapy.The caloric and protein adequacy will be presented with g/kg/day (protein) or kcal/kg/day (calories)

    Measured: Up to 3 weeks after protocol termination

  3. Clinical outcomes

    Patients will have the following outcomes:

    • constipation or diarrhea - Bristol stool scale pontuation (7 points scale)
    • mucositis (grade I-IV) - Dentistry report with grade of mucositis in grade I,II,III or IV
    • graft versus host disease (grade I-IV) - Medical report with grade of GVHD in grade I, II, III or IV
    • presence of Cytomegalovirus infection - Blood test Positive or Negative
    • colonization of Clostridium difficile - Feces Test Positive or Negative
    • infection by Candida - Laboratory test positive or negative
    • another diagnosis of infection - Medical report/ Yes or no for presence of this complication
    • presence of febrile neutropenia - Medical report / Yes or no for presence of this complication
    • length of hospital stay - number of complete days of hospitalization
    • death during the hospital stay - number of death during hospitalization

    Measured: Up to 3 weeks after protocol termination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, run by Federal University of Minas Gerais at 1 site in Brazil.

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 5 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 23 Aug 2021. 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 Brazil. 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?

Energy expenditure (time frame: Up to 3 weeks after protocol termination). 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 23 Aug 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
