Trial Results Explained
The study looked at how well a new type of nutrition, called LEOVIT ONCO, helps patients with esophageal and gastric cancer who are not getting enough protein and energy. Here’s what they found:
- What Worked: Patients who used LEOVIT ONCO showed better improvements in their body weight and protein levels compared to those who used imported nutrition. Specifically, their total protein levels increased by 15.3%, albumin by 16.4%, and transferrin by 74%.
- What Didn’t Work: While both types of nutrition helped, the imported nutrition resulted in smaller increases in these important health markers.
- Benefits for Patients: Patients using LEOVIT ONCO had fewer digestive issues, better immune responses, and did not experience allergic reactions. They were able to tolerate the nutrition well and consumed all of it.
Real-World Opportunities
Hospitals and doctors can use these findings to:
- Incorporate LEOVIT ONCO into their nutrition plans for cancer patients.
- Reduce the need for additional treatments related to malnutrition, such as extra infusions of proteins and amino acids.
- Improve patient recovery times and overall health outcomes.
Measurable Outcomes
Clinics should track the following after implementing these findings:
- Changes in body weight and protein levels in patients.
- Incidence of digestive issues, such as diarrhea.
- Patient tolerance and acceptance of the nutrition.
AI Tools
Consider using AI tools to:
- Monitor patient nutrition intake and health outcomes.
- Analyze data to improve nutrition plans based on individual patient needs.
Step-by-Step Plan
Clinics can start applying these findings by following these steps:
- Begin with a small group of patients to test LEOVIT ONCO.
- Monitor their progress closely, focusing on weight and protein levels.
- Gather feedback from patients about their experience with the nutrition.
- Gradually expand the use of LEOVIT ONCO to more patients based on positive results.
- Regularly review and adjust nutrition plans based on collected data and patient feedback.
