Plain-English translation of NCT07159659 on ClinicalTrials.gov โ ยท
This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases โ it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a special diet enriched with medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) โ a type of fat that's easier for your body to digest โ can help you recover faster after lung surgery and go home from the hospital sooner. Researchers believe this medication may help your body heal better after the operation. You would be randomly assigned to either eat a regular hospital diet or receive the MCT-enriched diet during your stay and possibly for two weeks after you go home.
After lung surgery, patients often spend several days recovering in the hospital. Researchers want to know if this special diet can speed up healing and reduce the time you need to stay in the hospital, helping you return to normal activities faster.

After your lung surgery, you will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a standard hospital diet, a special MCT-enriched diet during your hospital stay, or the MCT diet during your hospital stay plus two weeks at home after discharge. Medical students will help collect information about how well you recover, track how long you stay in the hospital, and monitor for any complications. You'll have routine hospital checks to make sure the diet is working safely for you.
