Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
General well-being via Barthel Index
Time to 5 point change in Barthel Index compared from baseline (visit 0) to week 2 in the whole patient population versus week 2 to week 12 in the two investigational groups; MediDrink Platinum+ and MediDrink Platinum+ with PeptiStrong. The Barthel scale measures the ability to perform basic activities of daily living using 10 variables describing mobility. A higher value is associated with a higher likelihood of independence
Secondary outcomes
Hand Grip Strength via Dynamometer
Change in hand grip strength compared from baseline (Visit 0) to week 2 in the whole patient population versus week 2 to week 12 in the two investigational groups; MediDrink Platinum+ and MediDrink Platinum+ with PeptiStrong.
Fat-free body mass via bioelectrical impedance analysis
Change in fat-free body mass compared from baseline (visit 0) to week 2 in the whole patient population versus week 2 to week 12 in the two study groups; MediDrink Platinum+ and MediDrink Platinum+ with PeptiStrong.
Functional performance via time up & go test
Change in time to up \& go compared from baseline (visit 0) to week 2 in the whole patient population versus week 2 to week 12 in the two study groups; MediDrink Platinum+ and MediDrink Platinum+ with PeptiStrong.
