In cancer, more than 30% of patients die due to cachexia and more than 50% of patients with cancer die with cachexia being present. Patients with cancer cachexia frequently develop a chronic negative energy and protein balance driven by a combination of reduced food intake and metabolic change. Several studies have already demonstrated the usefulness of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) in managing malnutrition of cancer patients. Though increased energy intake is very important in managing cancer-related malnutrition, the source of this extra energy and the presence of anti-inflammatory and immunonutritional components may also play an important role. Here we present the study protocol of a randomized, open-label, multicentre clinical trial aimed to determine whether an ONS composed according to the needs of patients with malignant diseases an ONS composed according to the needs of patients with malignant diseases is more effective than a general product in improving the nutritional status in cancer patients.

Disease-related malnutrition is frequent in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases. Though there is no doubt about the usefulness of Oral Nutritional Supplements (ONS) in managing malnutrition in such patients, only a handful of publications are available in the literature on clinical trials with ONS in this patient population. Since the digestion of macronutrients results in a strain on the respiratory functions in severe pulmonary diseases, the source of energy may also play a crucial role in the efficacy of nutrition with ONS in such patients. Here we present the study protocol of a randomized, open-label, multicentre clinical trial aimed to determine whether a new, condition-specific ONS (with a composition tailored to the needs of patients with decreased pulmonary functions) is more effective compared to a general ONS in improving the nutritional status in patients with compromised respiratory functions.

Background Understanding the patterns of treatment response is critical for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia; one way to achieve this is through using a longitudinal dynamic process study design. Aims This study aims to explore the response trajectory of antipsychotics and compare the treatment responses of seven different antipsychotics over 6 weeks in patients with schizoprenia (trial registration: Chinese Clinical Trials Registry Identifier: ChiCTR-TRC-10000934). Method Data were collected from a multicentre, randomised open-label clinical trial. Patients were evaluated with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) at baseline and follow-up at weeks 2, 4 and 6. Trajectory groups were classified by the method of k-means cluster modelling for longitudinal data. Trajectory analyses were also employed for the seven antipsychotic groups. Results The early treatment response trajectories were classified into a high-trajectory group of better responders and a low-trajectory group of worse responders. The results of trajectory analysis showed differences compared with the classification method characterised by a 50% reduction in PANSS scores at week 6. A total of 349 patients were inconsistently grouped by the two methods, with a significant difference in the composition ratio of treatment response groups using these two methods (χ2 = 43.37, P < 0.001). There was no differential contribution of high- and low trajectories to different drugs (χ2 = 12.52, P = 0.051); olanzapine and risperidone, which had a larger proportion in the >50% reduction at week 6, performed better than aripiprazole, quetiapine, ziprasidone and perphenazine. Conclusions The trajectory analysis of treatment response to schizophrenia revealed two distinct trajectories. Comparing the treatment responses to different antipsychotics through longitudinal analysis may offer a new perspective for evaluating antipsychotics.
