Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Effect of Nutritional Formula (Protison) on Various Cancer Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Study Description

Brief Summary: Many studies (including ASPEN/ESPEN) have demonstrated that balanced diet formula rich in omega 3 fatty acids (ω-3 FA), fibers, protein as well as mineral, vitamins (trace elements) are essential for cancer patients to improve health status and tolerability of chemotherapy. Hence, the present multi-centered, randomized clinical trial was framed to evaluate the efficacy of ready to use balanced nutritional formula-PCNF (rich in ω-3 FA, fibers, MTC, BCAA, and micro-nutrients), in various cancer patient by checking calorie intake and overall health status through assessing various anthropometric and biochemical parameters especially total proteins, pre-albumin, and transferrin.

Detailed Description: Many studies (including ASPEN/ESPEN) have demonstrated that balanced diet formula rich in omega 3 fatty acids (ω-3 FA), fibers, protein as well as mineral, vitamins (trace elements) are essential for cancer patients to improve health status and tolerability of chemotherapy. Hence, oncologic nutritionist strongly recommends cancer patients (with cachexia) to consume a diet rich in protein and dietary fibers along with balanced essential micronutrients like vitamins and minerals (Van Norren et al., 2009; Yeh et al., 2013). From the above statement, it cleared that nutritional support is a crucial aspect of multi-modal cancer care, by improving the overall health status by suppressing various adverse events as well as enhance treatment regimen for a speedy recovery. Hence, the present multi-centered, randomized clinical trial was framed to evaluate the efficacy of ready to use balanced nutritional formula-PCNF (rich in ω-3 FA, fibers, MTC, BCAA, and micro-nutrients), in various cancer patient by checking calorie intake and overall health status through assessing various anthropometric and biochemical parameters especially total proteins, pre-albumin, and transferrin.
