Phase 3 Study of Standard Lipid Therapy Versus Intravenous Fat Emulsion Minimization for the Prevention of Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Liver Disease

Parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC) and liver disease (PNALD) are associated
with significant morbidity and mortality in neonates and is felt to be exacerbated by
soybean-based lipid emulsions. Much research is currently being directed at identifying ways
to reduce this risk. Reduction of the dose of soybean-based lipid given as a component of
parenteral nutrition is one possible strategy. In this study we will compare standard dosing
of soybean-based lipid (up to 3/kg/day) with a minimized dose (1 g/kg/day) and evaluate for
the development of cholestasis and adequate growth between the two groups. Longterm followup
will include an assessment of neurodevelopmental outcomes at 12 and 24 months of age.
