Gastrointestinal Postoperative Early Enteral Nutrition: Immuno-enhanced Versus Standard Early Enteral Nutrition (ISEEN)

January 30, 2013 updated by: Danhua Yao, Jinling Hospital, China

Immuno-enhanced Versus Standard Early Enteral Nutrition Use in Gastrointestinal Postoperative Patients

Patients with gastrointestinal(GI) malignancy usually suffer from malnutrition and suppressed immune function, which might be worsened by major elective surgery.Enteral nutrition has been emphasized for patients with GI malignancy during the perioperative period to accelerate bowel function recovery, and improve nitrogen balance and immune response while reducing postoperative complications and hospitalization time.Early enteral nutrition(EEN) can promote the postoperative recovery of GI function and has been considered to have other advantages such as the reduction of medical cost and maintenance of intestinal barrier function. Immunonutrition containing special compounds like omega-3-unsaturated fatty acids has been put forward to modulate the immune response and improve the immune function in patients with cancer, which may have an better effect on the immune system than standard enteral nutrition. However, studies on immuno-enhanced early enteral nutrition after a resectable GI malignancy surgery are scarce.

The aim of this study was to determine whether immuno-enhanced early enteral nutrition(IEEN) is more effective than standard early enteral nutrition(SEEN) on nutritional status, immune function, surgical outcomes,time to adjuvant chemotherapy and days of hospitalization after laparoscopic GI surgery.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
