Hohenheim Malnutrition Study in Geriatric Fracture Patients (HohMal2)

October 25, 2018 updated by: University of Hohenheim

Influence of Oral Nutritional Supplementation in Geriatric Fracture Patients on Muscle Functionality, Quality of Life and Nutritional Status

The aim of this study is to evaluate long-term effects of early and prolonged individualized and optimized nutritional support using ONS for four weeks, in combination with a defined physiotherapy regimen, on sarcopenia and other outcome parameters in elderly fracture patients.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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.

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.

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.
Experimental: oral nutritional supplementation
This group receives optimized nutritional support, by ONS for a period of four weeks.
Dietary supplement: oral nutritional supplementation
The intervention group will receive optimized nutritional support, by ONS. While hospitalized each patient receives 2 portions of oral supplementation per day. For remaining days supplementation is calculated individually according to a sarcopenia/energy balance schema resulting in none or maximum 2 portions per day.
Other: Control
The control group will receive treatment according to usual care.
Other: Usual care
The control group will receive treatment according to usual care.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
