E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the risk of developing EFAD in pediatric patients, including neonates, receiving either Clinolipid or standard-of-care soybean oil-based lipid emulsion (Intralipid) as a component of parenteral nutrition (PN) within the hospital setting from 7 to 90 days, inclusive. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1.To evaluate the risk of developing liver disease, including parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD) as defined by direct bilirubin ≥2 mg/dL when no other etiology for liver dysfunction is present in patients receiving with intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) 2.To evaluate the adequacy of nutritional intervention in patients receiving either ILE 3.To evaluate the safety profiles of Clinolipid and Intralipid, as assessed by adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and AEs of special interest (AESIs)

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1.Patients and/or their legal representative must be able to understand the study and voluntarily sign the informed consent form (ICF) per 21 CFR Part 50.55(e) 2.Patients and/or their legal representative accept adherence to protocol requirements 3.Patients who are expected to require PN for at least 7 days 4.Premature infants (born at 24 to <37 weeks of gestation with a birth weight ≥750g) require at least 80% of targeted energy requirements by PN at study entry (up to 1 month CA); full term infants and children require at least 70% of targeted energy requirements by PN at study entry |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1.Patients who are not expected to survive hospitalization or with a severe critical unresponsive illness at time of initiation with foreseeable intercurrent events that could jeopardize the patient’s participation in the study, as judged by the Investigator (e.g., unresponsive shock, sepsis, renal failure requiring dialysis, severe unresponsive metabolic acidosis, and/or severe unresponsive metabolic disorders); 2.Patients with a known hypersensitivity to lipid emulsion, egg or soybean proteins, or any of the active substances, excipients, or components of the container or who have a history of an adverse event due to ILE; 3.Patients with liver disease including cholestasis; 4.Patients with severe hyperlipidemia or severe disorders of lipid metabolism characterized by hypertriglyceridemia (triglyceride >400 mg/dL); 5.Patients who are unable to tolerate the necessary laboratory monitoring; 6.Patients who are enrolled in another clinical trial involving an investigational agent; 7.Patients with a known history of either severe hemorrhagic or severe hemolytic disease as judged by the investigator; 8.Premature infants born <24 weeks of gestation and patients ≥18 years; 9.Premature infants with a birth weight <750 g; 10.Patient requires or is expected to require propofol for sedation; 11.Patient has received a diagnosis of COVID-19 (diagnosis <2 months prior and/or symptoms have not resolved. 12.Newborn patient born to a mother who was diagnosed as COVID-19 positive at delivery or within 2 months prior to delivery. 13.Female patients who are pregnant. Note: All female patients ≥12 years of age must have a negative urine human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy test at screening. For female patients <12 years of age, a urine hCG test at screening will be performed at the discretion of the investigator based on childbearing potential. |
