Efficacy and Safety of SmofKabiven Peripheral Versus Compounded Emulsion

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The present protocol describes a randomized, open-labelled study in which either SmofKabiven Peripheral or a hospital compounded control Parenteral Nutrition (PN) regimen will be given to adult surgical patients for 5 consecutive days. As serum prealbumin is a well-established surrogate efficacy parameter reflecting the patient´s nutritional status, the absolute change of the serum prealbumin level at the day of the final study visit compared to baseline will represent the primary efficacy parameter in the present study.

Detailed Description
-----------------
In addition, other variables will be assessed in this study, i.e., C-reactive Protein (CRP), free fatty acids, immunology parameters, taurine, comparison of the time required for Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) preparation of the two groups, the results of physical examination, vital signs, relevant nutrition- and safety-related laboratory parameters in venous blood and urine, the results of an Electrocardiography (ECG), and the number, severity, seriousness, clinical relevance, relatedness and outcome of Adverse Events (AEs). The aim of the planned study is to demonstrate that SmofKabiven Peripheral is not inferior to the comparative drug (compounded emulsion).
