Branched-chain amino acid supplement after leg bone cancer surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a branched-chain amino acid supplement helps recovery after surgery for bone cancer that spread to the femur (thigh bone). It may help you heal better after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cancer that spread to your thigh bone (femur) and will have surgery to remove it and replace or fix the joint.
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- You are able to take care of yourself independently (meaning you can do daily tasks but may not work or do normal activities).
- You do not have other conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, serious heart or lung problems, or diabetes needing insulin.
- You are not allergic to eggs, soy, or thiamine.
- You are not already taking branched-chain amino acid supplements.

This study tests whether a supplement containing branched chain amino acids (special protein building blocks) can help prevent muscle loss in older adults having knee replacement surgery. The goal is to help patients recover strength and mobility more quickly after their operation.
This trial tests if taking branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) before and after surgery helps patients with stomach cancer recover better. It aims to see if this supplement can improve strength and healing.
This study tests whether giving extra essential amino acids (building blocks of protein) to older adults hospitalized with a broken femur (thigh bone) can improve their recovery. If you are 65 or older, broke your femur from a simple fall, and are having surgery to fix it, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether taking essential amino acid supplements before and after surgery can help adults recovering from spinal deformity correction. It is for patients who are scheduled for surgery at UAMS and will attend physical therapy in Little Rock.
This trial tests whether a supplement made from cetylated fatty acids can help heal a simple leg bone fracture faster after surgery. You might be eligible if you have a specific type of leg fracture fixed with a metal rod inside the bone.
