An interventional study of Experimental group in Nutrition Disorders and Head and Neck Cancer, sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens. Recruiting at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-13.
Sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
Whatever are the strategies of coverage, the consideration of the state of bad nutrition is not often the priority. According to the last recommendations (2012) of the French Society Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (SFNEP), the surgeries of the cancers of the VADS are not listed among surgeries with high morbidity. So the specific recommendations for the patients undernourished with surgery with low morbidity, only a personalized dietary advice and oral nutritional supplements are recommended in preoperative. There is no specific recommendation in post-operative.
Two groups of cancer patients of the VADS will be compared: a control group benefiting from a nutritional coverage based on the current recommendations of the SFNEP, an experimental group benefiting from an improved nutritional coverage.
In preoperative, all the patients of experimental group will benefit from dietary advice during a multidisciplinary specific consultation. In post-operative, a dietetic consultation will be set up in 7 days at the exit of hospitalization and call phone at M1, M2, M4 and M5. And for the undernourished patient will benefit a multidisciplinary consultation at the rate of a consultation a month during 6 months.
In the Group control, the patients will be followed according to the current recommendations of the SFNEP.

Exclusion Criteria:
The patients with a cancer of the VADS: in preoperative, all the patients will benefit from dietary advice during a multidisciplinary specific consultation (physiotherapist, dietician, nursing staff CMF). The accent will be put on the adaptations of the diet, the complementary nutritional contributions, the assistants in "better to eat". In post-operative, a dietetic consultation will be set up in 7 days at the post hospitalization and rate call phone at M1, M2, M4 and M5. The undernourished patient will benefit besides a multidisciplinary consultation at the rate of a consultation a month during 6 months according to the same conditions.

Started Mar 2019 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2027, 102 months after the start.
Of 54 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Nutrition Disorders, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 57. This study's planned 102 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 56 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 48.
