Trial Outcomes & Findings for Intravenous Nutrition in Hospitalized Patients: Comparison of Two Oils (NCT NCT01943409)

NCT ID: NCT01943409

Last Updated: 2025-02-03

Results Overview

prealbumin is an hepatic protein that is used in the diagnosis of malnutrition. It has a short half-life so any changes in nutritional status can rapidly be represented by prealbumin levels.

Measure
Intralipid
Patients will receive Intralipid, which is the standard lipid emulsion used in the hospital Intralipid: soybean oil-based lipid emulsion
ClinOleic
Patients that are randomized to receive ClinOleic as a lipid emulsion in their PN, instead of Intralipid. ClinOleic is approved by Health Canada. The amount of calories from the lipid emulsion will be equivalent in the standard of care group and in the ClinOleic group. ClinOleic: olive oil-based lipid emulsion
