The Effect of Carvedilol Vs Propranolol in Cirrhotic Patients With Variceal Bleeding

Liver Cirrhosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effect of Carvedilol Vs Propranolol in Patients With Cirrhosis Related Esophagogastric Varices After Multiple Endoscopic Treatments For Secondary Prophylaxis:A Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

To compare the efficacy and safety of Carvedilol and Propranolol in patients with cirrhosis-related esophagogastric varices after multiple endoscopic treatments for secondary prophylaxis.

Clinical Trial Description

The study is a randomized controlled trial. Patients randomly enter into two treatment groups: 1)the Carvedilol group and 2)the Propranolol group. Treatment allocation is by block randomization, with an equal number for Carvedilol and Propranolol. The results are concealed in opaque envelopes. The dose of non-selective β-blocker(NSBB) is titrated according to systolic arterial blood pressure (ABPsys) and heart rate (HR). Doses are increased every 2-3 days until ABPsys is not less than 90 mm Hg and HR is not less than 55 bpm. Carvedilol is started at a dose of 6.25mg/d, and titrated to a maximum dose of 25mg/d. Patients receiving propranolol start at a dose of 30 mg/day and the dose will be increased to a maximum dose of 160 mg/day. Patients will be followed up with telephone calls every 2 months. After taking these 2 drugs for 6 months, patients come for clinic visits, receiving laboratory tests and endoscopic examinations, and events of primary and secondary outcomes will be analyzed. ;
