RECRUITING

Nutritional Therapy for Delirium in Elderly Hospitalized Subjects

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The investigators have developed a proprietary blend of amino acids that they think will help to prevent or reduce the severity of delirium in older adults (60 years and older) who are hospitalized for certain infections. In this study, up to 60 people will be enrolled.20 will be asked to drink this blend twice a day for up to 4 days, and 20 will receive standard treatment in the hospital for the same time period. The other 20 subjects will be non-delirious control subjects who do not consume any study products.
