Clinical Study on Nutrition Intervention in Patients With Esophageal and Gastric Cancer Treated With Chemotherapy

August 31, 2023 updated by: Hunan Cancer Hospital

Clinical Study on Nutrition Intervention to Improve Nutrition and Quality of Life in Patients With Esophageal and Gastric Cancer Treated With Chemotherapy

Patients with esophageal cancer and gastric cancer undergoing chemotherapy were selected as research objects to conduct nutritional risk screening, malnutrition assessment and quality of life assessment. They were randomized into the nutrition counseling group (NC) and the nutrition support therapy group (NST). To evaluate the nutrition and life quality of patients with esophageal cancer and gastric cancer before and after chemotherapy, and to study the effects of nutritional support therapy on nutrition and life quality.

Study Overview

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.

Detailed Description

In view of the high incidence of malnutrition in esophageal cancer and gastric cancer and chemotherapy may further aggravate malnutrition and reduce quality of life. According to the inclusion criteria, 280 patients with esophageal cancer and gastric cancer undergoing chemotherapy were selected as research objects to conduct nutritional risk screening, malnutrition assessment and quality of life assessment. They were randomized into the nutrition counseling group (NC) and the nutrition support therapy group (NST). To evaluate the nutrition and life quality of patients with esophageal cancer and gastric cancer before and after chemotherapy, and to study the effects of nutritional support therapy on nutrition and life quality; On this basis, a nutrition and life quality management system for patients with tubular upper digestive tract chemotherapy tumors was constructed, and the system was objectively evaluated from the clinical point of view, so as to provide a feasible scheme for improving the nutrition and life quality of patients with tubular upper digestive tract chemotherapy tumors.

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.
