Efficacy & Safety of SmofKabiven Emulsion for Infusion vs Hospital Compounded "All in One" for Parenteral Nutrition

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Parenteral Nutrition; Surgery
• Interventions: Drug: SmofKabiven emulsion for infusion; Drug: Hospital compounded "All in one" emulsion

• Registration Number: NCT03792100
• Lead Sponsor: Fresenius Kabi

Brief Summary

The present protocol describes a randomized, patient-blinded study in which either SmofKabiven emulsion for infusion or a hospital compounded "All in one" control Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) regimen will be given to adult surgical patients for 5 consecutive days.

As serum prealbumin is a well-established surrogate efficacy parameter reflecting the patient´s nutritional status, the change of the serum prealbumin level at the day of the final study visit compared to baseline will represent the primary efficacy parameter in the present study.

Detailed Description

In addition, other variables will be assessed in this study, i.e., postsurgical new onset of nosocomial infection, CRP, free fatty acids, immunology parameters, the results of physical examination, vital signs, relevant nutrition- and safety-related laboratory parameters in venous blood and urine, the results of an Electrocardiography (ECG), and the number, severity, seriousness, clinical relevance, relatedness and outcome of Adverse Events (AEs). The aim of the planned study is to demonstrate that SmofKabiven emulsion for infusion is not inferior to the comparative drug (hospital compounded "All in one" emulsion for parenteral nutrition).

5. Severe renal impairment defined as serum creatinine value at least 1.5 times higher than the upper limit of normal range;

6. Serious hyperlipidaemia (serum cholesterol and/or triglycerides and/or LDL-C level at least 1.5 times higher than the upper limit of normal range);

7. Known inborn abnormality of amino acid metabolism in the medical history;

8. Known acute pancreatitis in the medical history;

9. Known hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism in the medical history;

10. Serum level of any of the electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, total calcium, chloride, phosphate) above the upper limit of the normal range;

11. Known unstable metabolism in the medical history (e.g., metabolic acidosis);

12. Known hypersensitivity to fish, egg, soybean, or peanut protein or to any of the active substances or excipients of the study drugs in the medical history;
