Active clinical trials for "Malnutrition"

The purpose of this study single dose bioequivalence of Amlodipine Besylate/Benazepril HCl 10 mg/40 mg capsules with Lotrel® capsules in healthy human subjects and monitor clinical status, adverse events and laboratory investigations and assess relative safety and tolerance under fed conditions.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a multi-level self-management intervention to improve nutritional intake in a group of homebound older adults (HOAs) who are at especially high risk for undernutrition. The study will be guided by the theoretical approaches of the Ecological Model and Social Cognitive Theory and will use a prospective randomized controlled design to estimate whether individually tailored counseling focusing on social and behavioral aspects of eating results in increased caloric intake and improved nutrition-related health outcomes in a sample of 104 HOAs. The investigators hypothesize that intervention at these levels will improve caloric intake and indirectly improve health outcomes.

Child malnutrition is intimately associated to poverty and may be due to sub-optimal feeding behaviours, food insecurity at household level, or a combination of both. Acute malnutrition is a major contributor to under-5 mortality and morbidity in developing countries. While clinical guidelines for severe acute malnutrition (SAM) have been available for a decade, research on the management of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) has lagged behind. Nonetheless, MAM is much more incident than SAM, it increases mortality risk by itself and requires special nutritional treatment. This study is thus meant to address this major gap, by testing the relative feasibility, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of three innovative strategies for treating children with MAM aged 6-24 months : a locally produced Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), a corn/soy blended flour (CSB++)provided by the World Food Program, and a specific and context-appropriate child-centred counselling. The evaluation will be carried out as a cluster-randomized trial in the Houndé district, Burkina Faso, where 18 rural health centres will be randomly allocated to RUSF or CSB or CCC for treating MAM.

The purpose of this study is to Compare and evaluate the single-dose bioavailability study of 1000mg Valacyclovir HCl tablets of Dr. Reddy's and Valtrex (R)(Valacyclovir Hydrochloride)CAPLETS 1 gram of GlaxoSmithkline, in healthy, adult human subjects under fed conditions. monitor the adverse events and ensure the safety of subjects.

To compare the single dose bioavailability of Metformin Hydrochloride 1000 mg tablets (Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., Generics, India) with Glucophage (Metformin Hydrochloride) 1000 mg tablets (Bristol-Myers Squibb, USA) in 48 + (2 standby) healthy, adult, human subjects under fed conditions. To monitor adverse events and to ensure the safety of subjects.

Disease-related malnutrition is common across healthcare settings in the UK and if left untreated, may have severe consequences. One of the strategies commonly used to combat malnutrition is the use of oral nutritional supplements (ONS). However, there is uncertainty about the optimal way of delivering ONS to patients to maximize compliance and nutrient intake. This randomised study will investigate the effect of different modes of delivery (ad libitum versus instructions on timing/serving volume) of ONS used in addition to the diet on total nutrient intake, compliance, nutritional status and outcome in participants at risk of malnutrition. Participants will be randomised to receive one of two ONS (high energy or standard) for 4 weeks in addition to food, either taken 'Ad libitum', or according to instruction on what to take and when. The primary outcome measure is nutrient intake. Secondary outcome measures include compliance and acceptability of ONS, appetite, anthropometry, muscle strength, quality of life and gastro-intestinal tolerance.

This is a Phase IV randomized controlled study assessing the effectiveness of a commercially available nutritional supplement on malnourished prevalent hemodialysis patients. Patients will be randomized to either receive one can of Nepro with Carb Steady at each dialysis treatment for 6 months or to receive the standard of care counseling for malnutrition. The primary hypothesis is that hypoalbuminemic maintenance hemodialysis patients will demonstrate an improvement in albumin levels with oral nutritional supplement provided in-center thrice weekly in addition to standard of care as compared to malnourished maintenance hemodialysis patients provided standard of care alone.

The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence between Divalproex Sodium ER Tablets 500 mg of Dr. Reddy's and Depakote ER 500 mg Tablets of Abbott Laboratories in healthy, adult, human subjects, under fed conditions and to monitor adverse events and ensure the safety of subjects.

This study tests the hypothesis that moderately underweight but not severely wasted 6-17-month old infants receiving fortified spread or maize-soy flour as a food supplement for 12 weeks grow better during the supplementation than infants who do not get any food supplement.

Undernutrition after stroke is frequent and is due to cognitive impairment, visuospatial perceptive deficits, hemiparesis, depression and dysphagia. The impact of intensive nutritional supplementation on functional outcome measures in undernourished stroke patient has not been studied.
