Seven days of preoperative oral supplementation with an immune-enhanced oral nutrition

Immunonutrition: Oral Impact®, Nestlé Health Science, Switzerland.

IN will be administered as per manufacturer suggestion, i.e. three times a day during 7 days preoperatively. Oral Impact® is a powdered oral feed that provides 309 kcal/bag

The goal of this clinical trial research study is to evaluate the impact of preoperative oral immunonutrition (IN) on post-operative complications in patients undergoing a cystectomy.

As a secondary focus, this study will aim to develop a signature that would identify patients that would benefit the most from IN.

This is a multicentric (Swiss: N=3), prospective, controlled, pragmatic, parallel-group comparative study with block randomization stratified by centers.

Despite standardized surgical technique and the development of new perioperative care protocols, cystectomy morbidity remains a serious challenge for urologists. Most common postoperative complications, such as infections, often lead to longer length of stay and worse survival. Malnutrition has been identified as an independent and modifiable risk factor for both mortality and morbidity. Immunonutrition (IN), containing arginine, ribonucleic acid and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, aims to improve the nutritional status, immunological function and clinical outcome of surgical patients. Meta-analyses have demonstrated that preoperative IN reduces complications and length of hospital stay after major bowel surgery. Evidence-based data on preoperative oral IN support for cystectomy patients are lacking, which does not allow this treatment to be widely accepted, recommended, or reimbursed by health insurances in most European countries. Uncertainties also remain about the exact mechanism by which IN modulates the host immune response.

Complication rates after cystectomy range from 40-75%. Malnutrition has been identified as an independent and modifiable risk factor for both mortality and morbidity. To date, and in the last 20 years, no single intervention has allowed for a significant reduction in morbidity after cystectomy, which remains one of the highest in surgery. The present adequately powered multicenter RCT has the potential of changing current practice by recommending preoperative IN before cystectomy in case of positive results. If the present RCT demonstrates a benefit in administrating IN prior to cystectomy, urological guidelines will be modified accordingly to this new evidence. IN will then be recommended before cystectomy for the patient's benefit. The investigators truly believe that the proposed study is of high clinical importance with potential impact on perioperative urology guidelines.

Long term overall and cancer-specific survival for bladder cancer patients

Assessment of the quality of life after surgery through a questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)

Identification of biomarkers predictive of postoperative complications studying the patient's immune and microbiome signature: analysis of immune cells in the blood, analysis of the polyfunctionality of blood T cells, analysis of immune-related proteins in the urine and serum, microbiota analysis, expression of Argininosuccinate synthetase 1

Determination of infectious complications rate at 30 days after surgery (pneumonia, urinary tract infection, surgical site infection, sepsis, shock).

Determination of the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) at 30 and 90 days after surgery. The range is between 0 (no complication) to 100 (death).

Determination of the mortality rate at 30 and 90 days after surgery

Determination of the post-operative complication-free survival

Serum arginine levels will be assessed at enrolment (between Day -30 and Day -10) and at preoperative admission after intake of the allocated nutrition (Day -1) in all patients treated at Lausanne, CHUV.
