The SIGNET Trial

A major prospective multi-centre randomised controlled trial to address the question: Does the inclusion of glutamine, additional selenium, or the two in combination, in a standard preparation of parenteral nutrition (PN) improve the outcome for critically ill patients particularly in terms of participants with infections, mortality, ICU and acute hospital stay?

The trial involves people expected to be on intensive care units and high dependency units (levels 2 and 3 care) under the care of the intensive care unit consultants for at least 48 hours, aged 16 years or over, who require parenteral nutrition and are expected to have at least half of daily nutritional requirements given by that route.
