Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to establish a standardized nutrition intervention procedure for children with solid tumors, and to explore the effectiveness and clinical applicability of standardized nutrition management and short peptide-based enteral nutrition intervention for improving the nutritional status of children with malignant solid tumors.

After admission, patients in the intervention group will receive standardized nutrition management provided by a nutrition support team composed of dietitians, nutritionists, clinicians, and nursing teams. Basic information, including diet, enteral and parenteral nutrition, nutritional status and clinical data, will be collected during the study.

Standardized nutrition management(+ short peptide ONS) Group

The children in this group will be given standardized nutrition management after admission. They will follow the five-step treatment principle of malnutrition. Diet + nutrition education is the basic way, which is successively promoted to diet + oral nutrition supplement, enteral nutrition, partial enteral nutrition + supplementary parenteral nutrition, and total parenteral nutrition. When a nutritional treatment does not meet 60% of the target energy requirements for 3 to 5 days, the upper step of the treatment can be selected. For infants or newborns, when 75-80% of the target amount cannot be reached for 3-5 days, the upper step of the treatment can be selected.

During the study period, an additional 3 months of short peptide oral nutritional supplements (ONS) is expected to be performed in children enrolled from December 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025 to explore the improvement of the nutritional status of the children.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Standardized nutritional management

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

The children will follow the five-step treatment principle of malnutrition. Diet + nutrition education is the basic way, which is successively promoted to diet + oral nutrition supplement, enteral nutrition, partial enteral nutrition + supplementary parenteral nutrition, and total parenteral nutrition. When a nutritional treatment does not meet 60% of the target energy requirements for 3 to 5 days, the upper step of the treatment can be selected. For infants or newborns, when 75-80% of the target amount cannot be reached for 3-5 days, the upper step of the treatment can be selected.

Standardized nutritional management + short peptide ONS

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

During the study period, an additional 3 months of short peptide ONS enteral nutrition intervention is expected to be performed in children enrolled from Dec 1, 2024 to Feb 28, 2025 to explore the improvement of the nutritional status of the children. Short peptide type ONS 30ml/(kg.d) will be taken orally for children under 3 years old, and 20ml/(kg.d) for children over 3 years old. Due to conditional restrictions, standardized nutritional management + short peptide ONS intervention is only carried out in this subgroup.

Inclusion criteria for short peptide ONS enteral nutrition intervention:

1. Male and female, age 1-10 years old
2. Pathological diagnosis is malignant solid tumor with untreated initial onset
3. It is expected to receive enteral nutrition intervention for 3 months
4. Clear consciousness, willing to cooperate, no serious dysfunction of major organ functions

Control group

Clinical variables, biochemical markers, dietary data, and physical activity data will be collected at baseline and at each visit (admission to hospital, 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after diagnosis).

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
