Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Total Parenteral Nutrition-induced Cholestasis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01323907
Lead Sponsor
Sivan Kinberg
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to provide use of Omegaven in children with life threatening Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) associated cholestasis when all other medical and surgical treatments/therapies have been either ineffective or not feasible in the treatment of this serious condition. This is a compassionate use protocol.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Reduction of direct serum bilirubin level (mg/dL)Up to 6 months from the completion of the study.

For effectiveness endpoint, the allowable minimum time interval between serial direct bilirubin measurements that will determine reversal of cholestasis is 2 consecutive measurements of direct bilirubin \< or = to 2mg/dL obtained at least 2 weeks apart.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Essential fatty acid profileUp to 30 days from therapy completion

Previous studies have found no association between Omegaven administration and essential fatty acid deficiency. Due to theoretical concern for developing fatty acid deficiency with low dose Omegaven administration, these levels will be followed during Omegaven therapy.
