About this study

Official title: Effect of a Food for Special Medical Purpose (FSMP) Product During the Perioperative Period in Patients With Digestive Tract Tumor

This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, unblinded, parallel, multicenter, and non-inferiority study to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a Food for Special Medical Purpose product (FSMP) in participants with digestive tract tumor undergoing surgical resection during the perioperative period.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, unblinded, parallel, and multicenter, and non-inferiority study to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a FSMP in participants with digestive tract tumor undergoing surgical resection during the perioperative period. Half of the participants will receive FSMP, the other half will receive Enteral Nutrition Emulsion (TPF-T) as an active control.

Prealbumin, albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), immunology parameters, vital signs, nutrition and safety-related laboratory parameters, compliance, and Adverse Events (AEs) will be evaluated in this study, to demonstrate its parity with TPF-T on efficacy and safety.

What participants receive

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

  • Experimental ProductOther

    • Before the surgery: FSMP provides daily target energy needed by participants
    • 1-2 days after surgery: Start FSMP and advance as tolerated to achieve 20% of the daily target energy needed by participants
    • 3rd-5th day after surgery: Gradually increase FSMP intake every day as tolerated to provide 30-80% of the daily target energy needed by participants
    • 6th to 11th day after surgery. FSMP provides daily target energy needed by participants
  • Control ProductOther

    • Before surgery: TPF-T provides daily target energy needed by participants
    • 1-2 days after surgery: Start TPF-T and advance as tolerated to achieve 20% of the daily target energy needed by participants
    • 3rd-5th day after surgery: Gradually increase TPF-T intake every day as tolerated to provide 30-80% of the daily target energy needed by participants
    • 6th to 11th day after surgery. TPF-T provides daily target energy needed by participants

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Experimental Product in people with Gastrointestinal Cancer, run by Abbott Nutrition at 8 sites in China.

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 21 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 1 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in China. 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?

Serum Pre-Albumin (time frame: Baseline to Post Op Day (POD) 9). 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 1 Mar 2024.
