NCT ID: NCT06245590 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Decompensated Cirrhosis

Evaluation of Low-dose Albumin and Midodrine Versus Midodrine Alone in Outcome of Recurrent Ascites in Patients With Decompensated Cirrhosis.

Start date: February 10, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The project is about evaluation of albumin and midodrine versus midodrine alone in outcome of recurrent ascites in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Cirrhosis occcurs in 50% of patients over 10 years. The mortality is approximately 40% at 1 year and 50% at 2 years (12.7 per 100,000 population). A lot of times the prognosis is poor and the main factors leading to it are - acute kidney injury, hepatorenal syndrome, hyponatremia, grade of ascites-recurrent ascites, sarcopenia, low mean arterial pressure. Post review of the literature, it is realized that there are some gap areas - - It is unknown whether combination of vasoconstrictor with albumin versus vasoconstrictor alone is superior for ascites resolution in patients with recurrent ascites. - There are no studies till date on using combination of vasoconstrictor with albumin versus vasoconstrictor alone in patients with recurrent ascites. - There are no studies on impact of combining vasoconstrictor and albumin in preventing the development of AKI and chronic kidney disease in these patients. In an effort to bridge these gap areas, this project works on the following hypothesis - "Midodrine would have a synergistic effect with albumin in improving the systemic hemodynamics and circulatory dysfunction and will cause rapid control of ascites, reduce the incidence of large volume paracentesis (LVP), complications, reduce the incidence of chronic kidney disease (HRS-CKD) and improve outcome of patients with recurrent ascites in patients with decompensated cirrhosis as compared to midodrine alone" Primary objective: To assess the effect of midodrine alone vs. a combination of midodrine and albumin on the survival free of TIPS and liver transplant at 6 months Secondary objective: The effect of midodrine alone vs. combination of midodrine and albumin on the cumulative frequency of therapeutic paracentesis at 6 and 12 months Proportion of patients achieving control of ascites at 6 and 12 months

NCT ID: NCT06091345 Not yet recruiting - Liver Cirrhosis Clinical Trials

Midodrine Plus Albumin Versus Midodrine Alone to Prevent Cirrhosis Related Complications in Children With Cirrhosis and Ascites

Start date: October 25, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Children with decompensated cirrhosis are more prone to develop various complications. The pathogenesis of cirrhotic complications (ascites, hyponatremia, acute kidney injury) includes release of vasodilatory molecules like nitric oxide, damage associated molecular pathogens (DAMPs) and pattern associated molecular pathogens (PAMPs) secondary to bacterial translocation, which causes splanchnic bed vasodilation resulting in activation of renin-angiotensin and aldosterone axis (RAAS) causing sodium and water retention and renal vasoconstriction. The development of complications in these children may result in death or may preclude them from reaching upto liver transplantation. Midodrine is an α1 adrenergic receptor agonist, which increases vascular tone causing rise in the blood pressure, thereby improving renal perfusion and causes RAAS deactivation. The effects of midodrine is documented in reduction of refractory ascites, hepatorenal syndrome and hyponatremia. Albumin is a protien that works by both increasing the colloidal oncotic pressure and improving systemic circulation as well as by effecting the body with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. We have already demonstrated the safety and efficacy of midodrine as well as albumin in cirrhotic children. However, none of these drugs alone provided survival benefit to the patients. Hence, we have planned this study with the ojective to evaluate if combining these 2 drugs (midodrine and albumin) would further reduce the complications and improve the survival in decompensated cirrhotic children.

NCT ID: NCT05569798 Not yet recruiting - Critical Illness Clinical Trials

The INSIGHT Feasibility Study Ultrasound in the Intensive Care Unit: A Randomised Controlled Feasibility Trial

INSIGHT
Start date: December 4, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) is a rapidly evolving method of clinical assessment within the intensive care unit (ICU) with training predominantly aimed at physicians. Routine whole-body PoCUS (lungs, heart, abdomen and blood vessels) when conducted by physicians benefits patient care and outcomes including reducing the risk of prolonged ICU stay (>7 days) and mechanical ventilation as well as reducing utilisation of other diagnostic tests. However, physician-only use of PoCUS does not allow for use as a routine assessment method in the ICU due to the low physician to patient ratio and poor ultrasound accreditation rate. Providing other healthcare professionals such as Advanced Critical Care Practitioners (ACCPs), ICU nurses and physiotherapists with PoCUS skills increases the proportion of trained staff to perform routine PoCUS in the ICU. This could aid earlier identification of abnormal pathology, earlier treatment, and prevent patient deterioration. The advancement of handheld PoCUS technology is making ultrasound more portable, cheaper and easier to use. The increased accessibility of PoCUS combined with growing evidence of its diagnostic accuracy compared to other modes of imaging means PoCUS use is gaining traction globally. However, little to no research exists investigating the feasibility of implementing scheduled interprofessional PoCUS in the ICU and its impact on patient outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a quick and simple whole body ultrasound scan performed by trained ACCPs, ICU nurses, physiotherapists, and doctors at set time points throughout the patients ICU stay. The investigators want to find out the most common barriers and facilitators to intervention implementation and to explore the key clinical outcomes for use in a future definitive RCT.

NCT ID: NCT04679571 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Decompensated Cirrhosis

Efficacy of Targeted And Response-Guided Albumin Therapy Versus Standard Medical Treatment In Outcomes Of Recurrent Ascites In Patients With Decompensated Cirrhosis.

Start date: December 30, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The current prospective randomized controlled trial would aim to study the efficacy of targeted albumin therapy versus standard medical treatment in reduction in 6-month mortality in recurrent ascites in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Additionally, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of albumin in decreasing the incidence of complications: paracentesis induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD), AKI, hyponatremia, bacterial infections, hepatic encephalopathy and variceal bleed, impact on systemic hemodynamics and portal pressures, renal reserve as assessed by biomarkers and on immunomodulation. In this open labeled randomized study, consecutive cirrhotic patients, fulfilling the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study. The patients will be randomized to 2 groups by the clinical trial coordinator (CTC). The CTC will be blind to the patient and treatment received, and the allocation concealment by the sequentially numbered opaque sealed envelopes (SNOSE) technique would be done. Patients would be assessed every 2 weeks for first 8 weeks with serum albumin levels, ascites grade and use of diuretics and then every 3 months. The treatment would receive targeted albumin therapy as detailed in methods while patients in the other group would receive standard medical treatment. The primary outcome of the study would be evaluation of 6-month mortality while secondary outcome measures would be the incidence of liver-related complications at 3, 6 and 12 months, survival free of liver transplant and TIPS in both groups at 6 months and 1 year, improvement in quality of Life as assessed by short form survey-36 version (SF-36) at 6 and 12 months, improvement in renal reserve (as assessed by renal biomarkers) at 3, 6 and 12 months, reduction in the frequency of large volume paracentesis at 3, 6 and 12 months and change in immune parameters at 3 and 6 months.
