Study summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerance of ClinOleic or Lipoplus or SMOFlipid lipid emulsions. After 6 weeks of each lipid emulsion, Omegaven (fish oil) was added for a further 4 weeks. The safety and tolerance was evaluated after each lipid emulsion cycle by biochemistry, hematology and coagulation variables, vital signs and adverse events. We also analysed fatty acid profiles in plasma or erythrocyte phospholipids, antioxidant enzyme activities, lipid peroxidation products, plasma lipids and pro-inflammatory cytokine production after in vitro stimulation of whole blood by lipopolysacharide in HPN patients. The non-interventional group of healthy controls was included for comparison.

Read the detailed description

Intravenous lipid emulsions (LEs) are an indispensable part of home parenteral nutrition (HPN). All commercially obtainable LEs are applicable for HPN in providing a source of energy and essential fatty acids. The originally used soyabean oil-based LE (Intralipid) have been suspected of being associated with a higher risk of pro-inflammatory lipid-mediator production due to their high content of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. The more modern mixes of soyabean oil, and/or olive oil, and/or fish oil LEs with beneficial responses compared with Intralipid are available. Given that there are no clear clinical recommendations for LE application in HPN, we performed this cross-over design, phase 4 study comparing ClinOleic, Lipoplus or SMOFlipid in chronic intestinal failure patients with additional escalation of fish oil using Omegaven.
