NCT01247012

Brief Summary

Prolonged use of parenteral nutrition can lead to parenteral nutrition associated liver disease (PNALD). The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of treatment with a smaller amount lipid minimization) of our standard soybean oil based intravenous lipid emulsion (Intralipid) versus a fish-oil based lipid emulsion (Omegaven) in infants with severe cholestasis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Feasibility

    "Success" of the pilot trial will be determined by reaching the following criteria: 98.5% of subjects receive the modified lipid therapy within 12 to 24h of randomization; and/or 90% of subjects had their labs taken at the appropriate times as detailed by the study protocol.

    up to 1 year

  • Clinical endpoint

    The proportion of subjects in each group that have a rise in conjugated bilirubin to or over 100 after randomization

    up to 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Total duration of parenteral nutrition

    up to 1 year

  • Growth

    up to 1 year
