Nestle Impact Advanced Recovery in Improving Surgery Recovery in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer

February 21, 2020 updated by: Daniel Clayburgh, OHSU Knight Cancer Institute

Perioperative Nutritional Optimization in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

This randomized clinical trial studies how well Nestle Impact Advanced Recovery works in improving surgery recovery in patients with head and neck cancer. Adding a nutritional supplement, such as Nestle Impact Advanced Recovery to a regular diet before and after head and neck cancer surgery may help to decrease the number of wound complications after surgery.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess the effect of perioperative use of Nestle Impact Advanced Recovery (AR) on the rate of post-operative wound complications within 30 days after major head and neck surgery.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess whether sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for the development of post-operative wound complications.

II. Assess whether Nestle IMPACT AR decreases the rate of other post-operative complications such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, deep vein thrombosis, and clostridium difficile colitis within 30 days of surgery, as well as length of hospital stay.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess changes in muscle metabolic gene expression at the time of surgery associated with sarcopenia and IMAPCT treatment.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized into 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Patients receive Nestle Impact AR for 5 days before and after surgery in addition to regular diet.

GROUP I: Patients receive regular diet.

After completion of study, patients are followed up for 30 days post-surgery.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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)

  • Patients currently taking IMPACT or other immunonutrition products (arginine-containing supplements) will be excluded; other forms of nutritional supplementation, such as caloric supplementation, tube feeding, or other dietary supplements are allowed on study
  • Patients currently taking anabolic steroids will be excluded; patients taking corticosteroids are allowed on study
  • Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Excluded patients will be allowed to participate in the trial on an observational basis only

What is the study measuring?

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of post-operative wound complications
Time Frame: Within 30 days after major head and neck surgery
A patient is found to have a post-operative complication is one of the following is observed: wound infection, seroma, wound dehiscence, fistula formation, free tissue flap loss. A 2-sided 95% confidence interval will also be calculated for each arm, using exact methods, and chi square testing will be performed to compare the incidence of wound complications within 30 days after surgery between control and experimental groups. A multivariate analysis of the primary endpoint will be performed with logistic regression to include study treatment, presence of sarcopenia, prior radiation therapy, a
Within 30 days after major head and neck surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of other post-operative complications
Time Frame: Within 30 days after surgery
Will assess whether Nestle IMPACT Advanced Recovery (AR) decreases the rate of other post-operative complications within 30 days after surgery such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, deep vein thrombosis, and clostridium difficile colitis as well as length of hospital stay. Will be analyzed using chi square testing. The analysis of the length of the stay (LOS) for patients in each arm will be analyzed using the Kaplan Meier method for estimation of summary statistics including the 25th, 50th (median), and 75th percentiles and associated 95% confidence intervals. Patients that die prior to
Within 30 days after surgery
Sarcopenia
Time Frame: Within 30 days after major head and neck surgery
Will assess whether sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for the development of 30-day post-operative wound complications. Will be analyzed using chi square testing.
Within 30 days after major head and neck surgery

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sarcopenia-related gene expression
Time Frame: Up to 30 days post-surgery
Will asses messenger ribonucleic acid expression level of the sarcopenia-related genes MAFbx, MuRF1, Foxo1, Redd1, Sesn1, SELP, IL-6, BNIP3, and CTSL1, within skeletal muscle, and circulating levels of sarcopenia-associated exomes. Will be analyzed using chi square testing.
