About this study

The study investigates effects related to muscle protein metabolism at provision of Parenteral or enteral nutrition

Read the detailed description

Randomized study investigation alterations in muscle protein metabolism at provision of parenteral or enteral (oral drink) nutrition. The study uses a genomic/transcriptomic/proteomic approach to evaluate factors related to activation of skeletal muscle protein synthesis and protein degradation. Patients scheduled for major gastrointestinal surgery are included. Muscle specimens are collected during surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Parenteral nutrition (PN)Dietary supplement

    Also called Total parenteral nutrition (TPN)

    Overnight infusion of parenteral nutrition. Supplied as all-in-one-bag format. Infusion rate of 0.2 g N/kg/day.

  • Enteral nutritionDietary supplement

    Also called nutrition drink

    Oral nutrition drink. 2 * 200 ml on the night before operation. 1* 200 ml on the morning of operation day.

  • ControlOther

    Overnight infusion of crystalloid fluid (Ringer acetate) infused at the same rate (ml/kg) as intervention PN

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Parenteral nutrition (PN) and Enteral nutrition in people with Muscle Loss, run by Göteborg University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 18 Oct 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 Sweden. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Muscle protein metabolism (time frame: ~12-14 hours.). 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 NCT05080816, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Oct 2021.
