Clinical Trial Description

This study is a phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel trial of 20 subjects with hepatopulmonary syndrome designed to assess the effect of letrozole 2.5 mg orally daily or placebo for 6 months on the alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (AaPO2). Subjects at each site will be screened at outpatient clinic visit appointments and interested qualified subjects will be consented and offered participation in this trial.
