Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to determine if tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) supplementation can improve markers of inflammation, oxidative stress and blood lipids in Malaysian hemodialysis (HD) patients.


Clinical Trial Description

This study is a multi-centered, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial where a total of 400 HD patients (200 supplemented; 200 control) will be recruited from government and private settings. Subjects will be randomized to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive TRF (300 mg), daily for 12 months while the control group will only receive placebo, daily for 12 months. In addition, both groups will receive standard dietary counseling to ensure compliance to medical nutrition therapy guidelines for dialysis patients.

Patients who consented will be first subjected to a screening for identification of eligible subjects. The screening will involve basic anthropometry measures (height, weight, BMI), routine biochemistry result obtained from medical record, assessment of nutritional status and dietary evaluation. About 15ml of pre-dialysis blood will be collected by respective nurses for additional laboratory parameters (hsCRP, atherogenic profile and other inflammatory markers).

Patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria will be randomized to either control or intervention group. During the 12 months of treatment period, patients in both control and intervention groups will be assessed at baseline and 3-monthly intervals for laboratory results, medical condition, hospitalizations, nutritional status, dietary intake and compliance towards supplementation (intervention group only). A final measurement will be taken 3 months after study completion as a post follow up assessment upon cessation of supplementation. In all, patient data will be generated at 6 time points.

(A similar study, following a similar protocol and using the same study design and intervention will recruit 400 patients total (200 for each group) in Michigan, USA). ;
