Detailed Description
TITLE EVALUATION OF TOLERANCE AND ACCEPTABILITY OF AYMES LONDON STUDY OBJECTIVES
- To evaluate tolerance and acceptability of AYMES LONDON in patients requiring
supplementary oral nutritional support compared with currently available alternatives.
- To obtain data to support an ACBS submissions for AYMES LONDON (to allow for
prescription in the community at NHS expense).
STUDY DESIGN Interventional study. STUDY POPULATION 20 patients established on an oral
nutritional supplement (ONS), requiring nutritional supplementation of at least 300kcal/day.
Patients residing in community settings (e.g. own home, care home or community hospital)
STUDY PRODUCTS AYMES LONDON Patients' current oral nutritional supplements STUDY GROUPS This
is an observational study where the patient will act as their own control, there will be just
one study group containing all patients STUDY OUTLINE Baseline: After recruitment patients
will remain on their current oral nutritional supplement for 3 days, during which time
baseline tolerance data will be recorded (number and consistency of bowel movements, daily,
volume of ONS taken, any episodes of nausea, vomiting, burping, abdominal pain, bloating or
diarrhoea). A three-day food diary will be kept to record total oral intake. Patients will
also have anthropometric measurements carried out during this period (weight, height, body
mass index (BMI)).
Intervention Period : Patients will then be changed onto an equivalent prescription of AYMES
LONDON for a period of 9 days. Tolerance data will be recorded daily but the first 2 days on
AYMES LONDON will be considered a 'transitional' period and data from these days will not be
analysed. A further 3-day food diary will be kept during the intervention period. Weight of
the patient will be recorded at the end of the period on AYMES LONDON, and an acceptability
questionnaire will be completed.
Comparisons will be made between baseline and the end of each phase of the study using
appropriate analysis methods.

AYMES LONDON is a powder, designed to be mixed with 75ml whole milk to make a dessert style ONS. When made-up, AYMES LONDON provides 303kcal (2.2kcal/ml) and 11.2g protein. It is not designed to be used as a sole source of nutrition. It is a Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP) and must therefore be used under medical supervision.

Conditions
Conditions usually refer to a disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury. In ClinicalTrials.gov,
conditions include any health issue worth studying, such as lifespan, quality of life, health risks, etc.
Interventions
Interventions refer to the drug, vaccine, procedure, device, or other potential treatment being studied.
Interventions can also include less intrusive possibilities such as surveys, education, and interviews.
Study Phase
Most clinical trials are designated as phase 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the type of questions
that study is seeking to answer:
In Phase 1 (Phase I) clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase 2 (Phase II) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase 3 (Phase III) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
In Phase 4 (Phase IV) clinical trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.
These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations.
