About this study

this is a cross sectional intervention study to investigate the role of partial hydrolyzed guar gum in high stoma output management among cancer patients with ileostomy. This study hypotheses there is improvement in stoma output in PHGG if compare with control. There are two groups of subjects in this study. Conventional group (CG) will include retrospective historical data (those subjects with post-operative ileostomy) from Jan 2016 to June 2019. Intervention group (PHGG) will be subjects with ileostomy which involves prospective intervention by giving partial hydrolyzed guar gum upon start orally. Data on stoma output (volume \& consistency), length of hospital stay, readmission within 30-days discharged and dietary intake will be recorded in data collection form.

What participants receive

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

  • PHGGDietary supplement

    Subjects will be given 4 scoops (40g) PHGG, which provide 160kcal, 0.24g protein, 30.4g soluble fibre, 40g carbohydrate and 0g sugar, once allowed orally.

  • conventional careOther

    follow low fibre diet and anti-diarrhea drugs

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PHGGExperimentalPatient who met inclusion criteria and consented during intervention period will be assigned as PHGG group. Surgical medical officer will obtain consent from eligible subject. After consented, subjects will be assessed weight and PG-SGA during admission. They will be given 4 scoops (40g) PHGG, which provide 160kcal, 0.24g protein, 30.4g soluble fibre, 40g carbohydrate and 0g sugar once allowed orally. Staff nurse in charged will monitor compliance of subject on the PHGG. Daily stoma output \& consistency will be recorded and daily energy protein intake will be assessed by dietitian in charged. Renal profile will be taken daily as routine procedure for patients with ileostomy.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: PHGG
CGOtherHistorical records of patients with ileostomy under conventional care from January 2016 to June 2019 (before started on PHGG) will be assessed and traced retrospectively from the medical system. Data will be recorded in data collection sheet.
Receives: Other: conventional care

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PHGG and conventional care in people with Rectal Cancer, run by Universiti Putra Malaysia at 1 site in Malaysia.

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 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

ileostomy stoma output (time frame: up to 1 month). 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?
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?
