Protein-Packed IV nutrition may speed recovery in stomach cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT07488611
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether giving a protein-enriched intravenous nutrition formula helps patients recover better after surgery for stomach cancer. About 110 adults having stomach cancer surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the protein-enriched nutrition or standard IV nutrition. The main goal is to measure nitrogen balance (a marker of protein use) five days after surgery, and the study will also track complications, how quickly patients can eat again, and changes in muscle mass.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Protein-enriched peripheral parenteral nutrition (Winuf A+ injection)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a better way to help patients recover faster after stomach cancer surgery by improving nutrition.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial focused on a short-term measure (nitrogen balance), not long-term outcomes. The benefit may be modest or not translate to better recovery.
