Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to assess the impact of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v on nutritional status, tolerance of enteral diet and the quality of life. Administration of this probiotic may potentially improve nutritional status and tolerance of enteral diet. It also may provide positive effect on quality of life.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cancer Dietary Supplement: Lactobacillus plantarum 299v Dietary Supplement: Placebo Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Study group consists of patients with cancer who are qualified for home enteral nutrition in Nutritional Counselling Center Copernicus in Gdansk. The control group will receive home enteral nutrition and placebo. The experimental group will receive home enteral nutrition and Lactobacillus plantarum 299v. The study is prospective and double-blind. The parameters for evaluation of nutritional status are: BMI, body mass analysis, level of total protein and albumin in blood serum, total lymphocyte count, NRS 2002 method. Assessment of the quality of life and tolerance of enteral diet will be done by questionaires.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Changes of fat mass [ Time Frame: at baseline and after 4th week ]
    fat mass in percent (%)

  2. Changes of muscle mass [ Time Frame: at baseline and after 4th week ]
    muscle mass in kilograms (kg)

  3. Changes of total body water [ Time Frame: at baseline and after 4th week ]
    total body water in percent (%)

  4. Changes of body mass index [ Time Frame: at baseline and after 4th week ]
    body mass index in kg/m^2

  5. Changes of the albumin concentration [ Time Frame: at baseline and after 4th week ]
    albumin concentration g/L

  6. Changes of total protein concentration [ Time Frame: at baseline and after 4th week ]
    total protein concentration g/L

  7. Changes of total lymphocyte count [ Time Frame: at baseline and after 4th week ]
    number of total lymphocyte count/mm^3


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change of enteral nutrition tolerance [ Time Frame: it will be filled every day by patients per 4 weeks treatment period ]
    The enteral nutrition tolerance will be assessed with authors own questionnaire referring to number of stools, frequency of vomiting and flatulence.

  2. Change of patients' quality of life ( BREF - WHOQOL - Bref The World Health Organization Quality of Life) [ Time Frame: at baseline and after 4th week ]
