About this trial

prospective, randomized, multicenter study to confirm the potential benefits of TGF-β2 enriched FSMP. The primary objective is to evaluate the superiority of supplementing with TGF-β2 FSMP (experimental arm) compared to best supportive treatment (BST) in preventing malnutrition in patients submitted to allo-SCT. The secondary endpoints include the assessment of reduction of incidence of severe acute GVHD at day +100.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • TGF-β2-enriched food for special medical purposes

    Dietary supplement

    The experimental treatment is Modulen-IBD®, a food for special medical purpose, polymeric, enriched with TGF-beta. If the patient refuses the experimental supplementation, NGT will be proposed to ensure the correct intake of Modulen-IBD® supplementation. If the patient refuses, not tolerates, or there are contraindications to NGT placement, best supportive therapy will be warranted as reported below (BST).

  • BST

    Dietary supplement

    Best Nutritional Supportive Treatment as per center's policy according to EBMT Handbook 2024
