Prophylactic Early PN in HPT/BMT

April 26, 2021 updated by: University of Sydney

Prophylactic Early Parenteral Nutrition in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: A Multi-centre Randomised Controlled Trial.

Supplemental prophylactic early parenteral nutrition will be commenced 1 day prior to conditioning chemoradiotherapy in patients who are not already malnourished. Supplemental parenteral nutrition continues throughout conditioning chemoradiotherapy and stem cell transplant.

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.

Detailed Description

A standard parenteral nutrition solution will be used. The parenteral nutrition solution will be given once daily, and infused intravenously. The standard parenteral nutrition solution will contain approximately 40 grams of amino acids/L, 40 g lipids/L and 100g dextrose/L). Nutritional targets will be measured using indirect Calorimetry where available, or calculated via the Harris Benedict or Schofield equations. The dose of parenteral nutrition administered will be determined by the treating dietitian, treating physician or treating research team. The parenteral nutrition dose given will be individualised considering the patients clinical condition and body weight. The dose of supplemental parenteral nutrition will be dependent on the total calories also received from oral and/or enteral nutrition intake.

Supplemental parenteral nutrition will be discontinued when a patient is well enough to be discharged from hospital or when the patients attending clinician determines a central line is no longer needed for standard care. There is no maximum duration of supplemental parenteral nutrition..

Adherence to the study intervention will be monitored via medical chart reviews during site monitoring visits, and data queries on individual patient case report form documentation.

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who are about to commence conditioning chemoradiotherapy for allogeneic haematopoietic progenitor/stem cell transplantation, who have a haematological malignancy, who are not meeting 80% of their Caloric needs via oral or enteral intakes, and who are not malnourished.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who are already receiving parenteral nutrition at time of screening.
  • Patients with a documented licensing contraindication to parenteral nutrition.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Active Comparator: Standard Care
The control group in this study is pragmatic standard nutrition care. Currently after a bone marrow transplant in Australia, patients are normally fed orally for as long as possible. If oral intake fails to provide sufficient calories for a period of two to three days, enteral or parenteral nutrition may be provided.
Other: Pragmatic standard care.
Nutrition support will be provided as per usual care.
Active Comparator: Early supplemental parenteral nutrition

Supplemental prophylactic early parenteral nutrition will be commenced 1 day prior to conditioning chemoradiotherapy in patients who are not already malnourished. Supplemental parenteral nutrition continues throughout conditioning chemoradiotherapy and stem cell transplant.

The dose of supplemental parenteral nutrition will be dependent on the total calories also received from oral and/or enteral nutrition intake.
Other: Pragmatic standard care.
Nutrition support will be provided as per usual care.
Dietary supplement: Parenteral nutrition.
Nutrition support will be provides as per usual, but oral and enteral intake will be topped up with a standard parenteral nutrition solution. The standard parenteral nutrition solution will contain approximately 40 grams of amino acids/L, 40 g lipids/L and 100g dextrose/L).
