Reaching Protein Target With SmofKabiven® Extra Nitrogen vs Olimel N9E During the Early Phase of Acute Critical Illness

Phase 4
Terminated
Conditions
Critical Illness
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03992716
Lead Sponsor
Fresenius Kabi
Brief Summary

The main focus of the study is to show that SmofKabiven® extra Nitrogen, in a realistic clinical setting, enables to meet high protein requirements in patients during the first week after onset of critical illness, without risk of overfeeding with energy.

Olimel N9EOlimel N9EParenteral nutrition with Olimel N9E in a dosage to provide 10 kcal/kg/day on Study Day 2 and 20 kcal/kg/day on Study Days 3 through 6.
SmofKabiven® extra NitrogenSmofKabiven® extra NitrogenParenteral nutrition with SmofKabiven® extra Nitrogen in a dosage to provide 10 kcal/kg/day on Study Day 2 and 20 kcal/kg/day on Study Days 3 through 6.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of patients reaching ≥70% of the cumulative target for protein delivery from Study Day 2 through Study Day 65 days

The cumulative target for protein delivery is 6.75 g/kg over 5 Study Days (based on a daily target of 0.75 g/kg/day on Study Day 2 and 1.5 g/kg/day on Study Days 3 through 6); 70% of the cumulative target for protein delivery is 4.73 g/kg.

The cumulative protein delivery is calculated as the cumulative intake of amino acids from study drug and protein from enteral or oral nutrition on Study Day 2 through Study Day 6.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of the cumulative target for protein delivery reached from Study Day 2 through Study Day 65 days

Actual cumulative protein delivery (g/kg/5d) divided by 6.75 (g/kg/5d) and multiplied by 100.

Mean cumulative protein delivery by parenteral, enteral, and oral nutrition from Study Day 2 through Study Day 65 days
Calculated mean cumulative protein deficit during the period from Study Day 2 through Study Day 65 days

The cumulative protein deficit is calculated as the cumulative target for protein delivery (6.75 g/kg/5d) minus the actual administered dose (g/kg/5d amino acids from study drug + g/kg/5d from enteral and oral nutrition.
