Trial summary

When the digestive tract is functional, learned societies recommend the use of a nutritional support by enteral feeding. Indeed, it has many advantages (maintenance of gut trophicity, reduction of the risk of infection by reducing the incidence of bacterial translocations,...). Read more about this study

About this study

When the digestive tract is functional, learned societies recommend the use of a nutritional support by enteral feeding. Indeed, it has many advantages (maintenance of gut trophicity, reduction of the risk of infection by reducing the incidence of bacterial translocations,...). It has been used for about fifteen years in hematology departments and offers promising results in the context of allogeneic transplantation with prospective trials in progress (NEPHA study). However, its tolerance has not been studied during autologous transplantation. This study aims to assess the success of enteral nutrition in this setting.

Read the detailed description

In the literature, there are many studies on the nutritional support to be used during allografts, that highlight the superiority of enteral nutrition over parenteral nutrition in terms of reducing co-morbidities.

Enteral nutrition is the nutritional support recommended by learned societies for therapeutic intensification with autograft of autologous hematopoietic cells in hematology. Nevertheless, enteral nutrition presents difficulties in its implementation and failures (refusal of patients, probes vomiting, neutropenic colitis, etc.), requiring the use of parenteral nutrition in case of failure.

In this context, the study proposes to assess the success and effectiveness of enteral nutrition.

What is being measured

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

  1. Success rate of enteral feeding

    Enteral Nutrition will be considered as a success if : TEI / ER > 70%. On average until recovery from aplasia (or transfer to the intensive care unit or death).

    TEI : Total Energy Intake (per-os + enteral nutrition + glucose solutions) ER : Energy Requirement (assessed patient needs)

    Measured: From admission to recovery from aplasia (or transfer to the intensive care unit or death)

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Causes of failure of enteral nutrition

    All causes of primary or secondary failure that necessitated the cessation of enteral nutrition

    Measured: From admission to recovery from aplasia (an average of 3 weeks)

  2. Evolution of total energy intake

    All sources of energy intake (per-os, enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition, glucose solutions) These will be compared to the estimated needs of patients and expressed as a % of coverage of these needs

    Measured: Every day from admission to discharge (an average of 4 weeks)

  3. Evolution of albuminemia

    Blood test carried out on admission and once a week

    Measured: Once a week from admission to discharge (an average of 4 weeks)

  4. Weight evolution

    Weighing carried out on admission and on discharge. Will be used to calculate the percentage of weight loss and assess nutritional status

    Measured: From admission to discharge (an average of 4 weeks)

  5. Evolution of muscular strength

    Measurements performed at admission and at discharge of the patient. Muscular strength is measured using a dynamometer (in kg)

    Measured: From admission to discharge (an average of 4 weeks)

  6. Number of bacteremia and type of germs

    Measured: From admission to discharge (an average of 4 weeks)

  7. Number of transfers to the intensive care unit

    Measured: From admission to discharge (an average of 4 weeks)

  8. Duration of hospitalization

    Number of days of hospitalization

    Measured: From admission to discharge (an average of 4 weeks)

  9. Prokinetic and associated antiemetic treatments

    Measured: From admission to discharge (an average of 4 weeks)

  10. Type conditioning

    BEAM or Melphalan 200

    Measured: On admission, between 1 and 7 days before autologous stem cell transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma and Myeloma, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 2 sites in France.

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 11 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 7 Dec 2023. 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 France. 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?

Success rate of enteral feeding (time frame: From admission to recovery from aplasia (or transfer to the intensive care unit or death)). 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 7 Dec 2023.
