NCT ID: NCT06128694 Recruiting - Cancer, Lung Clinical Trials

Effect of NUTRICAN to Improve Nutritional Status in Cancer Patients

Start date: August 1, 2023
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy oral nutrition supplement (ONS) in malnutrition/high risk malnutrition cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer: 1. Are there differences in knowledge, attitude and behaviour scores in cancer patients who receive cancer-specific ONS compared to those who do not receive cancer-specific ONS? 2. Is there a difference in nutritional status as assessed by average body weight, body mass index (BMI), haemoglobin (Hb), and albumin levels in cancer patients who receive cancer-specific ONS compared to those who do not receive cancer-specific ONS?

NCT ID: NCT05938205 Completed - Frailty Clinical Trials

Multicomponent Analysis of phYsical Frailty BiomarkErs: Focus on Mitochondrial Health - MAYBE

MAYBE
Start date: March 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study will be conducted in a group of obese sarcopenic patients (Sarco-Ob) aged > 60 years on moderately hypocaloric diet therapy aimed at comparing the effect of a strength exercise protocol, combined or not with dietary supplementation with amino acids, on physical performance, muscle strength, body composition, muscle oxidative metabolism, and biomarkers of sarcopenia. The supplementation study will be conducted in a double-blind manner.

Essential Connections: Hospital to Community Impacting Malnutrition Outcomes in Older Adults

Start date: January 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Meal provision organizations, whether they provide meals within the home or in congregate centers, provide an excellent opportunity to address malnutrition by providing nutrition care and meals to those who are most vulnerable. Data has shown that nutrition care within the home by a dietitian can increase energy, protein intake, and body weight. The goal of this study is to test a new model for continuity of nutrition care for malnutrition treatment across settings and determine if it improves food security and quality of life in patients 60 years and older. The study will specifically recruit sites and a sample that represents individuals who have malnutrition, have experienced or are at risk for food insecurity, and those from rural areas as well as Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American populations with a goal sample size of 1,120 patients over the five-year duration. The objectives of this study are to: 1) test the feasibility of a patient identification, cross-referral, data reporting, and communication process from an acute care hospital to a community meal provision organization; 2) identify barriers to and facilitators for implementation as well as costs of the new model of continuity of nutrition care across settings; and 3) improve food security, determinants of malnutrition, and quality of life in persons older than 60 years of age discharged from the hospital with a diagnosis of malnutrition. Level 1 evidence will be generated from the study. The outcomes to be measured are program sustainability, percent change in referrals, food insecurity, malnutrition risk and diagnosis, and quality of life. The results of this study can provide a new model for nutrition care that may improve food security, quality of life, and health outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT05885191 Completed - Clinical trials for Malnutrition; Protein

True Ileal Amino Acid Digestibility of Tenebrio Molitor Larvae in Women

Start date: August 30, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Dietary protein intake of adequate quality is essential for human health. Traditional animal source foods play a key role in providing high quality protein but are associated with a high burden on the environment. Therefore, viable alternative protein sources are needed to be able to meet human nutritional needs for the rapidly increasing world population, while keeping food production within the planetary boundaries. T. molitor (Yellow Mealworm larvae) is a sustainably produced and commercially available edible insect, which contains a high quantity of protein with a favorable amino acid profile. Protein quality evaluation considers the amino acid composition as well as the ileal digestibility of the food's individual amino acids, to assess if human dietary requirements for essential amino acids can be met by the protein source. The present study will measure the digestibility of essential amino acids from T. molitor with a minimally invasive dual stable isotope tracer method that follows a plateau-fed test meal protocol. T. molitor will be intrinsically labelled with the stable isotope deuterium (2H), which will be given along with a reference amino acid mixture of known digestibility, labelled with the stable isotope carbon-13 (13C). Based on the results from the present study, protein quality of T. molitor as a protein source for human nutrition can be assessed, allowing a direct comparison of this novel protein source to other protein sources, such as meat and legumes.

NCT ID: NCT05439174 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for End-stage Renal Disease

Impact of IDPN on Nutrition Markers in Patients Receiving ICHD

Start date: July 15, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Evaluate the impact of intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) compounded with Clinisol, Prosol, and/or Clinolipid on albumin levels and weight in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing in-center hemodialysis. Determine the average duration of time it takes for albumin levels to rise ≥0.2g/dL from the initiation of IDPN therapy as this has been associated with significant change in mortality and hospitalization risk. The investigators expect levels to rise significantly within 4-6 months, there may be a difference in outcome in patients receiving IDPN compounded with amino acids and dextrose only vs IDPN compounded with amino acids, lipid, and dextrose.

NCT ID: NCT05325697 Not yet recruiting - Sarcopenia Clinical Trials

Combining Nutrition Supplementation With an Exercise Program in Elderly Malnourished Frail Patients After Hospital Stay

Start date: April 30, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a combined nutritional and home-based exercise intervention in elderly, malnourished, frail patients after hospital discharge. Adherence to exercise program, adherence to oral nutrition supplement, potential inhibiting factors to follow exercise program, changes in nutritional status, muscle mass and function, quality of life are outcome factors. The intervention consists of 12 weeks with a physical exercise program (vivifrail) and oral nutritional supplementation (Moltein Plus). The investigators hypothesize that 12 weeks of a combined nutritional and home-based multicomponent exercise program is feasible for frail elderly patients after hospital discharge, meaning that ≥70% of the exercise sessions will be completed and oral supplements will be consumed by the participants.

Start date: April 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

NCT ID: NCT05118165 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Frail Elderly Syndrome

Influence of Preoperative Nutritional Status on Perioperative Period in Cardiac Surgery in Patients With Frailty

Start date: November 12, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study is to determine whether the optimisation of the preoperative nutritional status affects the course of the perioperative period in patients with frailty. Subjects: Patients 65 and over years of age with frailty or risk of it, with suboptimal nutritional status who are prescribed to elective cardiac surgery . Research methods: Edmonton Crispness Scale, a Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA-SF) test will be used to select subjects. Body composition will be examined by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to determine the degree of phase angle. Changes in laboratory blood tests will be recorded and evaluated The subjects randomly will be divided into control and study groups. The diet of the patients in the study group will be optimised by protein supplements before elective heart surgery. The benefits of optimising nutritional status will be evaluated comparing laboratory blood tests, changes in organ function, adverse outcomes, the need for vasoactive drugs, artificial lung ventilation time and length of hospitalisation between the groups.
