Clinical Trial Summary

This study was a Phase II/III multicenter, blinded, and positiveactive-controlled clinical study with seamless adaptive design to evaluate the dose-response relationship, safety, and immunogenicity of recombinant human albumin(rHA) injection for the treatment of hypoalbuminemia in cirrhotic patients with ascites, and to provide a reference for the design of the Phase III clinical study.


Description:

This study was a Phase II/III multicenter, blinded, and positive-controlled clinical study with seamless adaptive design. The Phase II clinical study was conducted first, followed by the Phase III clinical study.The Phase II clinical study aimed to evaluate the dose-response relationship, safety, and immunogenicity of recombinant human albumin(rHA) injection for the treatment of hypoalbuminemia in cirrhotic patients with ascites, and provide a reference for the design of Phase III clinical study. Dosage: For the 10 g/day rHA injection group, the subjects were administered rHA at a dose of 10 g/day once daily for 14 days. For the 20 g/day rHA injection group, the subjects were administered rHA at a dose of 20 g/day once daily for 7 days.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change from baseline in ALB The change in ALB was determined by calculating the difference between the value measured after the last dose (immediately after the end of dosing) and the value measured before the first dose (the mean). Day -1/7
Secondary Proportion of subjects with serum ALB level reaching 35 g/L at the end of administration It referred to the proportion of subjects with serum ALB level = 35 g/L at the end of dosing to the total number of subjects in that dose group. Day 7/14
Secondary Time taken to attain serum ALB of 35 g/L Defined as the time required from the first administration to serum ALB level = 35 g/L. Day1- Day7/14
Secondary Change from baseline in body weight of subjects at the end of administration Change of body weight referred to the change in body weight after the end of dosing compared with the body weight on Day -1, which served as the baseline value. Please note that the body weight should be measured without urination under fasting conditions. Day 7/14
Secondary Change from baseline in abdominal circumference of subjects at the end of administration It referred to the change in abdominal circumference at the end of treatment compared with the abdominal circumference on the last day of the pre-dose observation period, which served as a reference. Please note that the abdominal circumference should be measured without urination under fasting conditions. Day 7/14
Secondary Change from baseline in ascites depth of participantsubjects at the end of administration It referred to the change in ascites depth at the end of dosing compared with the ascites depth on Day -1, which served as the baseline value. Day 7/14
