Hepatocellular Carcinoma Clinical Trial
Official title:
Circulating Endotoxemia After Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Liver Disease - Influence of Preoperative Administration of Probiotics
Surgical resection is one of the curative treatment modalities for HCC. Limits are
postoperative septic and liver functional complications related to an increase in bacterial
translocation and systemic endotoxemia. Bacterial translocation is a passage of bacteria and
bacterial degradation products from the intestine to the portal circulation. The endotoxemia
secondary to bacterial translocation, stimulates endothelial production of nitric oxide (NO).
NO is also a potent inducer of membrane instability, responsible for an increase in the
permeability of the vascular endothelium and intestinal mucosa, possibly contributing to a
worsening of bacterial translocation.
Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts, provide a
health benefit on the host ((Health and Nutritional Properties of Probiotics in Food
Including Powder Milk with Live Lactic Acid Bacteria - Cordoba Argentina October 2001). Data
from experimental and clinical literature show a significant effect of probiotics on the
improvement of liver function and a decrease in infectious complications in patients with
chronic liver disease. The proposed study would evaluate the effect preventive and
therapeutic in a population of surgical patients, in whom the intestinal portal and hepatic
inflammation promotes postoperative complications.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the administration of probiotics on
intestinal barrier function in patients with chronic liver disease (fibrosis stage F3 or F4)
operated for hepatocellular carcinoma.
After hepatectomy, kinetic of endotoxemia have been studied previously and the evolution will
be summarized by the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of
circulating endotoxin levels measured before surgery and at 5 different times analysis after
hepatectomy. At 12 hours, portal hypertension and its consequences on gut permeability
(impaired barrier function, bacterial translocation) are highest with peak of circulating
endotoxins. The decreasing of endotoxemia curve is observed between the 2nd and 3rd day (end
of liver regeneration and early liver architectural reorganization). On the 5th day, persist
measurable but not deleterious to liver restructured and theoretically functional rates.
Then the main criterion to demonstrate the effectiveness of a diet enriched with probiotics
is the AUC of circulating levels of endotoxins ((pg/ml) using the Limulus amebocyte lysate
(LAL) assay) observed for each patient. Endotoxin levels were analysed on samples of
peripheral blood. The two arms of equal size will be considered significantly different when
compared to the AUC of circulating levels of endotoxin if the null hypothesis (AUC is the
same for both arms) is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis (AUC differs between
the two arms - Wilcoxon test)
In order to estimate the sample size to distinguish between the two hypotheses with
sufficient power, the median AUC in arm without probiotics be used to form two groups of
patients in each arm. Thus, half of the patients without probiotics have a higher median AUC
arms. Then, this proportion may be compared to the proportion of patients with probiotics
have an AUC greater than the median of the group without probiotics.
The secondary endpoints are:
- Evaluation of systemic inflammation by assay of inflammatory cytokines
- IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, GM-CSF, IFNa, TNFa
- CRP
- Leukocyte count
- The post-operative liver function monitored in the usual manner
- Standard Liver function tests between J1 and J5 (Bilirubin, prothrombin, ammonia)
- Indocyanine green clearance with measuring retention rates at 15 minutes between J1 and
J3
- Monitoring of overall postoperative complications and specifically liver failure and
infectious complications at 3 months.
