Compliance With a High Energy Content, Low Volume Oral Nutritional

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to investigate the compliance of high-energy, low-volume oral nutritional supplements (ONS) compared to equivalent high-energy standard ONS (control) in participants at risk of malnutrition.

Clinical Trial Description

The use of high-calorie, high-protein ONS is recommended in patients with malnutrition or who are at risk of malnutrition-related disease. However, compliance with ONS is a key feature to improve the patient's nutritional status. Since compliance with ONS could be influenced by the energy density and the volume of the nutritional supplement used, a higher energy density and lower volume ONS could provide similar energy to the standard ONS for the requirements of this population. This study has been designed as an open-label randomized crossover study with nutritional intervention with the aim to compare the patient's compliance, defined as the percentage of energy consumed with respect to that prescribed, with a high-energy content, low volume ONS versus a standard high calorie and volume ONS, over an 8-weeks follow-up period. As secondary objectives, the study aims to describe the gastrointestinal tolerance and satisfaction of the study ONS, to establish the factors that may affect compliance with the ONS and to compare the cost associated with product wastage in both ONS. The study population will consist of patients aged ≥ 18 years, distributed into three groups according to their diagnosis: oncological patients, surgical patients, and other patients, all of them malnourished or at risk of malnutrition according to Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), and requiring the use of an ONS. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either: Group A: A high energy, low volume ONS (2.4kcal/ml; 125ml) in addition to the diet for 28 days. Participants will then receive the equivalent standard ONS (2.0kcal/ml, 200ml) as control ad libitum in addition to diet for 7 days, or: Group B. A standard ONS (2.0 kcal/ml, 200ml) as control in addition to the diet for 28 days. Participants will then receive the high energy, low volume equivalent ONS (2.4kcal/ml; 125ml) for 28 days. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people 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.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
