MMP-LUNG Trial Summary

This trial will test if a supplement with exercise improves outcomes for lung cancer patients pre- and post-surgery. Primary outcome is functional capacity, secondary outcomes include muscle mass, quality of life, length of stay, etc.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 45 with early-stage lung cancer (NSCLC stages I, II or IIIa) who are at nutritional risk and scheduled for specific types of lung surgery. They must be able to exercise and not already taking certain supplements. People with severe kidney issues, recent chemo or radiotherapy, allergies to milk/seafood, or language barriers can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if a special program before and after lung cancer surgery helps patients recover better. It includes a mixed-nutrient supplement plus exercise training (MM), just the supplement (NUT), or a placebo (CTRL). The main goal is to see if this improves how far patients can walk in six minutes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include reactions related to the nutrient supplement such as digestive discomfort or allergic responses in those sensitive to ingredients like milk or seafood.

How many volunteers are participating in this medical research endeavor?

"Indeed, the clinical trial is still enrolling according to the information available on clinicaltrials.gov. Its initial posting was June 26th 2023 and it has been adjusted as recently as July 12th of this year. The study requires 168 participants from a single location."

Answered by AI

Does this medical study currently welcome enrollees?

"Affirmative. The clinical trial listing on the website of clinicaltrials.gov states that, since its first posting on June 26th 2023 and last update on July 12th 2023, this medical study is recruiting 168 participants from a single site."

Answered by AI

What is the ultimate aim of this experiment?

"The primary intention of this medical study, to be evaluated six weeks post-surgery, is to assess changes in the preoperative functional walking capabilities. Secondary metrics include alterations in foreleg myosteatosis (radiodensity) as gauged by Stratec XCT2000 pQCT technology, fluctuations in body weight and composition with bioelectrical impedance tests via a seca mBCA 515 device, and length of hospitalisation which will be documented from patient records."
