Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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

Time frame
Whole group Week 0 to Week 2. Investigational arms Week 2 to Week 12

Secondary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
Whole group Week 0 to Week 2. Investigational arms Week 2 to Week 12
2

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.

Time frame
Whole group Week 0 to Week 2. Investigational arms Week 2 to Week 12
3

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.

Time frame
Whole group Week 0 to Week 2. Investigational arms Week 2 to Week 12

Other outcomes

1

General well-being via Barthel Index (Active control Vs experimental)

Time to 5 point change in Barthel Index compared from week 2 to week 12 in the two investigational groups; MediDrink Platinum+ and MediDrink Platinum+ with PeptiStrong.

Time frame
Week 2 to Week 12
2

Hand Grip Strength via Dynamometer ( Active control Vs experimental)

3

Fat-free body mass via bioelectrical impedance analysis

Change in Fat-free body mass compared from week 2 to week 12 in the two study groups; MediDrink Platinum+ and MediDrink Platinum+ with PeptiStrong.

Time frame
Week 2 to Week 12
4

Functional performance via time up & go test (Active control Vs experimental)

Change in time to up \& go compared from week 2 to week 12 in the two study groups; MediDrink Platinum+ and MediDrink Platinum+ with PeptiStrong.

Time frame
Week 2 to Week 12
